Widebody E63

Have done a ton of searching with no luck, even via google.

Has anyone widened the rear arches on their car to match the front arches. I’m talking with a super competent shop about grafting a set of w212 e63s front arches onto the rears. Basically extending them 1.5”, which isn’t much, but want it to look oem. So not necessarily “widebody”, but just enhancing what is not there..

This seems to be the only one out there with a custom widebody. From what I remember, this would have been a custom job done by GAD.
Honestly I am not the biggest fan of this setup, but if the shop you are working with can make it look OEM that would be a sweet hit.

But if it looks OEM then it will be hella expensive.!

Saw that C63 on marketplace. Looks like a fantastic car. Look forward to seeing what you do with the 212.

Funny noted you're doing DP's intake and ECU/TCU shortly as well....... hoping to have that out of the way by end of the month.

BTW - no response from HMS on the flares.... going to ping the engineer who asnwered some questions vs. the sales guy.....

Don’t have many photos yet as the car is getting a ton of other work done. Should be done in the next month or so and we’ll do a whole shoot after.

We rebuilt the rear wheels to 11.5” et5. Can easily run a 305 or 325. There is a ton of room.

How did they get the rear door and bumper to line up so well?

Very nice. Since 305s fit stock I hope you at least go 325. 345/25R20 would be cool!

That is beautiful. Always irks me how AMG does wider fenders only on the front of the AMG sedans and forgets about the rear. That's how it should be from the factory like the M cars.

Love the new color. Is that a paint or a wrap. Looks like Palladium silver metallic?

The shade of gray on the sedan is most beautiful. Classic combination with the wheels. Front cover worthy. Do you mind sharing the exact wrap product, color code, and cost? What is your approach to small parts like the proximity sensors? How durable/practical is the wrap to washing? How long does it last?

Its 3m sterling silver. Prices are all over the place for shops. My buddy owns the shop that does my car, but if I had to pay retail, a sedan like this would be 4kish, but they are a top shop. Definitely get what you pay for. Sensors and everything can be wrapped and function completely normal. Wraps are super durable, I have mine ceramic coated after. Washing and drying is the same as paint. A good wrap can last 10 years or so if taken care of.
