Hello,

At Mbworld I posted a thread about my finished project C63, so I want to share my project to this forum too.
I hope you will enjoy reading this thread and hopefully you will like my modded C63 too :thumb:

Info

I bought a C63 2009 this year in the end of April, actually it was not my planning to buy a C63 but to change my ML63 2007 for a newer one (2010/2011), but the car salesman sold me this one so I bought this for my wife.

Here are some pics how the car was when I bought it:

This C63 has a performance package (487 hp), color pearl white and 19 inch OEM wheels.

I asked the dealer to add some carbon parts to that car; it was for me too white IMO so he put a carbon spoiler on my trunk, carbon covers for my mirrors and a carbon diffuser.
Then I also bought some dark taillights.

When my wife finally got her drivers license and she had driven the C63 and the ML63, she doesn't like to drive the C63 anymore:wall bash:
At that moment I thought what should I do with that car; driving our dailey ML was more comfortable than the C63.
And then I had an idea to pimp that car and my new hobby was born.
I want to make that car so brutal, that there will be only one of a kind:devil:

I don't know anything about cars, so step by step I gather some infos on the internet and how to transform that car in a hell of a beast!!!

For the first time I saw the carbon parts on her car, I wanted more and more!
So my "carbon" addiction starts in May 2013, just when I had bought that car…

Akrapovic exhaust systems

At the internet I also saw an exhaust system of Akrapovic, I heard they are the king of the exhaust systems and just after a month I bought a completely exhaust system of Akrapovic:

Mercedes C63 AMG with Akrapovic exhaust (REVS & SOUND), BMC filters and Tuning 550 HP - YouTube

Carbon Interior

One month later (july) I started to order some carbon parts to complete my interior.
I already had some standard carbon parts in my interior such as a part of the console and door trims, so I thought I would be more prettier to have a completely interior of carbon

After 3 weeks I changed some parts such as instrument cluster, start button, all vents, console plate and steering wheel

CF H20 dipped wheels
Even my wheels I want to have it in carbon.
So I went to a company who did my wheels on a special way with H20:
They put some carbon foil on a bath with water and dipped the wheels into it (H20 dipping), much better then wrapping it and much stronger.
After dipping the wheels they get a coating

For now, all the carbon parts doesn't impressive that much, because the interior is not ready.
In combination with a whole new interior, you will see the carbon parts will come to their end.

Because all carbon parts were made to order, it took me 6/7 weeks to have the parts complete.
So in September I finally start with the whole interior!;)

New interior with carbon pattern

Because my sickness for carbon, I choose a special leather with carbon patterns in combination with alcantara leather in black and white

They stripped the whole interior:

I even have the words special edition stitched on my chairs:D

Thanks for reading my thread part I, I will soon post part II:thumb:
 
Nice car. Personally, the interior is a bit loud for me, but my hat off to you for taking the time to do all this work.

Love the interior, Good work

Car looks perfect
 
Very nice although I'm not a fan of the white band at the top of the steering wheel.
 
Reminds me little of 'Palmballs' earlier C63 mods, albeit this is perhaps on a much higher level, but both to be admired, as Acid asks, any performance mods to your wonderful car;)
 
Some nice work there. As other guys have asked what sort of power is it running
 
The only performance mods was that my engine got extra HP with a ECU chip.
In combination with the Akrapovic, I got 550 HP (63 hp more).

Almost everything I changed about the car except the engine: I wanted a kleemann supercharger to make the car complete, but my wife doesn't want it.
It is still her car, and she said 550 Hp is for her more than enough...:mad:
 
Buy her lighter shoes and fit the supercharger.

She won't know the difference but will love you for the new shoes ;)
 
interesting... I had a Akra on my E92M3 and it was " Quite " loud, I wonder what it would be like on a C63 in he flesh...Interesting thread though!!
 
Thanks for the compliments!

Before for the total transformation (bodykit), I still wanted add more carbon to the car.
So the door handles, trunk frame, roof and window frames I change it in carbon too…

The car is now ready for the build: a modified BS kit


I will post soon a new thread about that crazy build :thumb:
 
Love the carbon on the handles etc. Looks fantastic.

" bling " springs to mind, is it just me or is this a bit ott ? just the thing for the " hood"
 
The Carbon fibre dipping is the way to go when you have that many parts , plus looks a lot better then wrap as it's finished with a top coat laquer.

Love the handles too ... Thinking of doing mine including rr diffuser!

Just you.

It looks amazing, great work.
 
Was the rear spoiler hard to remove? I really want a carbon one but I'd have no idea or the guts to remove the old one ha
