Who's placed a C63/s order ??

[ScottBacon]

The dash is the same without the pack

No its not mate.

Included within the pack you get additional dashboard and door belt lines in ARTICO man made leather

That's ridiculous! It's standard on AMG sport models in the normal c class

My configurator picture shows a nice leather dashboard, without the premium pack specced - need to clarify that.

Got one on order myself. Not quite decided on the colour though I'll probably end up sticking with what I've gone with at the moment. Delivery for 1st Sept

C63 S
Metallic Blue
Black Rims
Black Leather
Premium Pack
Driving Assistance Pack
AMG Drivers Pack
Head Up Display
360 degree cams
AMG Night Pack
.

Performance Exhaust of course

The one I test drove had the 360 degree cameras and for £300 odd I'd recommend you all tick it. It's really extremely clear and well done. Obviously we are all pro drivers that would never scratch our alloys Just for when the wife drives it the cameras will help

If I was to change the colour maybe white, black wheels and red pepper seats. What colours you guys going with?

 

[ScottBacon]

The interior that I have gone for is the two tone black / red pepper with black ashwood trim. Looks pretty nice as I've seen it in the flesh at Nottingham merc

 

[ScottBacon]

Thinking about changing the palladium silver for diamond white again. My current one is DW which is why I went silver but I think I would regret it later on

 

[FastLaneJB]

Yeah I think the two tone red pepper and black seats look amazing. Bit concerned about jeans rubbing off on the leather as I wear jeans mostly. Blacks no hassle to keep clean (Unlike a black exterior!)

The other problem is I don't think an exterior blue car should have red seats inside it. So I'd need to change the exterior colour with white being the obvious choice I guess. Though that leads itself to 2 white choices!

I think the red seats would go with silver but not sure on that as an exterior. Choices choices.

Great spec by the way Fastlane

Yep agreed. Even the black leather interior causes issues though because there is white Alcantara piping on the seat bases which will be impossible to restore once your jeans have stained it to a nice mucky blue.

Thanks Scott. I think I ticked everything that didn't have Carbon in the title on the options list!

Yeah that's a good point though I had thought it's right down the sides so maybe less likely to get stained but then if it does a harder to clean colour and it's not in such easy places as the centre of the seat.

The red seats make the car look extremely sporty, the black seats not nearly as much. I'd need a new exterior colour though... Weird that the AMG's have less colours than the normal C class you can pick from. Also no special AMG only colours like say BMW would do with an M car. Yeah even though there's less choice, I'm finding it harder to pick...

 

[matt1977]

I went with the two tone black and white... I may live to regret it after they become a shade of pale blue from dye transfer but I'm also getting the leather sealed with a treatment so am hoping it won't get too bad.

 

[FastLaneJB]

We've got kids and a cream sofa and never do that again. Looked awesome new, looks terrible these days. I'd replace it but it would eat into my car fund That and waiting for the kids to stop jumping on it before we replace it with something else.

What colour for the car did you go for Matt?

 

[FastLaneJB]

OK I've switched to Polar White and Red Pepper seats. I considered Diamond White but not sure I want the possible problems of colour matching should it be needed on such a complex white. A few years ago I had a cat slide down the side of my 330d with his claws out, I'd like to know should something like that happen that the paint isn't super complex to fix and colour match.

I think this will look more mean and sporty in white with the AMG Dark Pack plus a pano sunroof

Oh it's a model year 2016 car so I've added to my order the LED number plate option so I can change it on the fly for speed camera zones.

Personally, I much prefer Polar White to Diamond White.

Hi - where do you get this info about the number plate lights etc?

 

[ScottBacon]

Interesting, even though polar white has the same finish as your average kitchen appliance

I was joking. I'm pretty sure being able to change your number plate on the fly would be somewhat illegal

Model year 2016 starts with builds from June by the way. You might want to speak to your dealer around the changes this might have to your car. I've had the info off my dealer but not sure I'm allowed to speak about it. As a little tease though, lets just say if you have the Drivers Assistance Package and like to run your enemy's down you'll need a 2015 year build, not a 2016

My kitchen appliances are in Diamond White That's just how I roll.

I've seen Diamond White in person and I'm not 100% sold on it. It's a bit creamy at least in the light I saw it. It does look higher quality but I don't think a solid white looks bad either and it will be easier to fix should any paint damage ever occur.

 

[DuncS3]

For me DW is a cream off white as said so it's nice but I'm not as keen on it as much as PW, which is what I specced on my 507 and it looks fantastic. My M3 was also Alpine White (my Audi quattro is also Alpine White too )

I'm beginning to see a pattern I was like that with blue cars.

I don't mind that it's the free option which people with lower end cars might pick. White is a great looking colour for higher end, more aggressive looking cars.

I'd always thought a pain to keep clean but everyone says it's not the case. So let's hope so as I'll be scrubbing my seats clean instead... Lol

I went with diamond white - I see the comments about it being cream, but I checked out several other cars in dw at the dealer and couldn't say it's cream at all.
