Paint work or bad photography?
Looking closely at this car. Anyone see anything out of the ordinary?

My guess would be the front end is covered in a not so clear bra or the clear bra just changes the color / way the light hits the silver.

My car is the same color. It looks like the quarter was painted.

C63 AMG Black Series
The whole front clip seems to match. Most likely has a iffy quality clear bra installed. Ask for the seller for more pictures and up close ones of the edges. You’ll tell quickly if it has one or not.

I have the same color - if it was repainted they did rather poor job and I find that unlikely. Granted, Magno (matte) finishes are hard to match, but that is not even close.

Looks like a wrap. Even the rear bumper has it
