I was forced to upgrade from my 2004 C32 AMG to a 2010 E63 AMG last month. I've already got a few goodies on it but more are inbound. Just got home
from the Eurocharged shop and snapped a cell phone pic. Here's a little teaser before I can upload some better quality photos.




Here's a couple pictures of my C32 and why I needed to move on.

Nice. Saw Jordan Kohler's pic of your ride at Eurocharged!

What kind of work did they do for you? I have their V5 tune and am going to get it dynoed in January.

We installed the Seibon Hood and a CF 3-Fin Grill and we fixed a few minor electronic gremlins. I will be strapping onto the dyno in the coming weeks for some custom tuning.



Your wife's daily is a big inspiration for the direction I'm taking this car. There is plenty more to come brother. Some cosmetic pieces...some go fast bits .

I got the KW springs and adjustable rear links installed today but we ran out of time to get the diffuser installed. I brought my DSLR to the shop so I could take some decent pictures for you guys but my wife took the memory card out to go print some family photos...

I'll try and get some good pictures tomorrow.

Spacers
Diffuser
Front lip
CF side skirts
Full wrap (color undecided)
Intake
Exhaust
Tune
Wheels
Interior upgrades (shift knob, steering wheel, etc.)

Do you know which wrap brand you are going with? I have a 3M satin white on my CLS55 and it looks really good, look forward to seeing your progress. Gonna be great.

Congrats! Looking forward to the pictures.

chris.bachman

As promised...work in progress.

Pufftrees

Looking sharp bud!

Davidkuo0330

Nice. You need 10-12mm spacer for a flush look.

Ed99

That is one sexy E63 you got there. Looking forward to seeing more mods.

YeaItsHim

Very nice ! The carbon complements the black so well.

And yes I agree with David on the spacers. Will look even better

Congrats again.

Zod

very nice looking ride
congrats

where is the hood from if u do not mind me asking?

chris.bachman

Thanks for the input everyone. I should have some 20" Niche Form wheels on the car this week with some agressive offsets.

It's a Seibon Hood that I purchased through TH Motorsports.

AZC63AMG

Looking forward to this! Just picked up my 2010 E63 also. No mods in the works (unless weather mats and door pins count) but look forward to seeing yours. Looks nice so far!

Where did you get the AMG emblem from?

chris.bachman

It's a custom one-off piece I had made at a machine shop...

Nah, just messin' with you bud, it was like 40 bucks on eBay. I'll try and find the listing for you.

chris.bachman

Emblem on Fleabay, doesn't look like the seller has any more listed.

Hey Man,

I have 2011 with the v5 tune (540 HP as my license plate shows!) also.

Do you get the same monster growls at shifs? Guys there told me it was new to v5.

For those that haven't heard it, it is BAD A*S!!! Really turns heads as you downshift toward a stop light.

AMGJAY

Oh yeah. My car has very aggressive downshifts. The tune + row intakes + reso/cat delete makes it bark on every downshift.

How many miles you at right now?

Vrodman

38k miles.

Build date of dec/2010.

What about you?
