    The AMG Car park look back picture thread.....

    This thread has been quiet for a while so thought I'd try and revive it!

    Lets see your AMGs

    Coming up for 2 years of ownership, only car I owned longer was a V8 Vantage, still loving the C63 and can't find a better all-round car despite a lot of tyre kicking.

    W205 C63 Active Valve Control for Exhaust

    Yes. It holds the valves open 100% all the time in all modes as opposed to the factory setting of 75% (until you switch it off with the remote and return it to factory settings). With it switched on and 100% open you don't need to use the exhaust button on the centre console/steering wheel...

    AMG Bonnet Badge

    They asked for my registration number to verify the model (w205 C63s Coupe), a reason why would have been nice.

    w205 C63 - Freshly Detailed

    I tried a Maserati MC recently and was very underwhelmed. Also tried a 991.1 GTS. Both times I got back into my C63 and thought it was better in every way, and defintely not worth the extra cash to change. Going to try a Vanquish at some point but after that I'm done, nothing else I really want...

    Lets see your AMGs

    Driven all over Europe for 30+ years, never used a GB/UK sticker, never been mentioned when pulled over or at customs etc.

    Lets see your AMGs

    Did about 1,500 miles over the festive break, UK and France. Still more smiles per mile, at any speed, than anything else I've owned! Nice beading too 😂

    w205 pre facelift vs w205 facelift.

    Drive both and see which you prefer. I had the same dilemma and went pre FL as I prefer the sound and I don't like digital dashboards, I prefer old fashioned dials. The steering wheel looks better in the FL though. If you get a pre FL, you can always change the grill and other exterior bits to...

    C63s Road trip last week

    Calais to Rouen, then via Tours and Le Mans via Bordeaux to Condom. Autoroute wasn't busy and virtually empty to Le Mans. Only sticky bit was Bordeaux ring road, once we got off the Autoroute the fun really started, French D roads are awesome fun and it was really quiet down there.

    W205 C63 Active Valve Control for Exhaust

    Hi, from my experience, 1 is fully open and the button on the centre console is over-ridden and does nothing, 2 reverts back to factory settings and you are back to using the centre console button. I am happy to be corrected as I haven’t taken mine off 1 since I got it!

    W205 C63 Active Valve Control for Exhaust

    I've got the Renntech as well on my pre-facelift, sounds absolutely fantastic. Apparently the exhaust valvaes only open to a maximum of 75% from the factory but this opens them to 100%. Once you have opened the valves with the fob they stay open permanently, even after you have turned the...

    Back again - C63s Coupe

    The Renntech module is a fantastic and easy mod. Ordered mine before the car even arrived! It makes a difference to pre and post facelift. Go to 9:20 in the this video for the comparisons, facelift comparison is around 12:30 -
