Yeah and? Isn't that all I said I wanted? My C300 is perfect for me the way it is, if it looked more agressive I'd take it! But not at this cost, I'd need fenders, Hood bumper and not to mention all the grill and headlight mods that need to be made. Nice to dream though. Rock On CMANN can't wait to see the finished pics...

tax for import cars in asian countries are CRAZY. in vietnam a regular honda civic cost almost $40,000 usd! so the c63 being $200,000 usd in his country is no bs.

i think he has done a great job with the mods. he's not claiming it as a c63, he just likes the looks, besides he's halfway around the world and he paid the price of a c63 so why cant he dress it up to look like one? keep up the good work, i cant wait to see the finished products.

He can do whatever he wants, even buy a Ferrari bodykit for it, but it's just my opinion in regards to making your car to 'look' like something it isn't. Just be prepared for some negative feedback. And because not everyone has the same taste...don't insult the person with a different opinion using sarcasms and bad languages.

Plus, don't be mad at the person laughing at your knock-offs.

too much anger and aggression here!!
I think every here is giving credit for the guy's work. his dedication to make his car looks like something he loves.
But he's also gotta face some negative"opinion" about what he is doing. it's like buying and walking around a knock off Louis Vutton bag. If you can't afford it, why pretend that you can? but of course, if you purely like the look of something and getting it for that, not for the brand name, that's a different story.
I don't think it's worth the money to do all that mods since we already have the AMG style body. But his C200K probably has only the regular style.

Fully loaded (and since we are talking about affording a C63 why would you buy any less?) we are talking about 75K USD right?

i'm cool wit the negative opinions,after all everybody is entitled on their own opinion but get your facts right.
im not pretending to be a C63 owner, im juz in love wit the looks of a C63 but i cant afford the performance.
C200 here does not come wit any bodykit.there is not even an option for an AMG sports package kit here. u hav to buy it somewhere else, not from a Mercedes dealer here. silly ain't it...

IM COOL WIT ANYTHING GUYS.

To those of you in US, FYI I had to pay ~80k for W204 C230 with AMG Body Kit Package. Real C63 is going to be double the money.

Ok, ok.... want to know it exactly?

C63 amg start with 55,975 USD, in malaysia they pay 80,000 USD for a C200K... So you can buy 1,43 C63 AMG's in the US for the same price as his C200K in Malaysia.



Your Americans are so lucky that you have that prices... here in The Netherlands we pay +/- 150,000 USD for a C63 AMG.... taxes taxes taxes So you can buy 3 (i'm sorry, 2,68 C63's) C63 AMG's for the price that we pay for only 1

Ok on a forum you can expect positive and negative reactions... but i'm with you why can't he put the REAL C63 AMG body kit on a non AMG?

I really likes what he is doing, it will look very nice . And what is the chance that your at the traffic lights with a real C63 AMG next to you??
And so what, just look the other way, as if you don't see him

CMANN, keep up the good work, looking forward to see the result.

Because it's not a c63. He can put the body kit on if he likes, but it's still not a c63 so shouldn't badge it as such. As he said, he likes the look of the c63 which is fine, no problems there with adding the kit then. He's not crossing the line into poserdom by badging which is good. Would you put an AMG badge on your C300? No, because it's not. Same thing.

Hi Marakbai,
the size ranges from 18 to 20" for the W204. comes in 2 finishes, titanium n titanium polished. u can request for other colors for the wheels wit extra cost.
i wish it was staggered but they don't hav 10x20" for W204. that would hav been perfecto.
my wheel spec as below:-

type: ART Monoart1
finish: titanium
size: 9x20"
offset: ET40
