Hi everyone. I have a C63S coupe on order and with all the delays to production, have time to ponder whether to add the Mercedes OEM carbon fibre front spoiler and rear valance.
I have two questions on this:
1) Is there a general view on whether these carbon bits are a good thing to have, or a bit OTT? My car is black, so the Night Package glossy black on these parts would not be a contrast, which is one reason I am pondering carbon.
2) How is the front clearance on these cars? I will be using mine every day, on London's speed bumped/potholed streets. A ragged carbon fibre front spoiler looks nasty and can't be patched up or painted. My current car, a 6.2 C63 Estate, doesn't bottom out, but I am wondering what the front overhang/clearance is on the new model, for comparison?
Many thanks
