Our Mercedes C Class body kits are the perfect place to start because the exterior of your vehicle is the area that everybody sees first. That’s why we have a range of visual upgrades and they cost less than you’re expecting! Because it’s on the road all the time you need it to look as good as it possibly can and since it’s a Mercedes you know that people are going to look at it so you want to customize it to your own preferences. The electrics are sound, but the software governing the engine and gearbox may be out of date, so take it to a specialist to download the updates.Your C Class is comfortable and luxurious with the performance you need to make every driving experience an enjoyable one which means that you probably drive it at every opportunity. As expected the cabin is well screwed together, but the front seat bolsters can suffer from wear from ingress and egress. Rear-drive and huge power is often the recipe for an accident, so take your time to check for crash damage. You can eke 25,000 miles from a set of pads if you’re careful, however it’s likely you’ll need to swap out the dscs at the same time due to their short lifespan – more powerful brakes are a popular upgrade. The Performance Pack’s floating discs are closer to £500 a piece though, while a full set of the Performance Pack Plus composite discs can be as much as £2000. Standard front discs are £68, but a set of front pads are dearer at £200. They come in for a lot of punishment hauling the C63 down from speed, fortunately replacing them isn't too expensive. With great power comes great responsibility – for the brakes. Substituted in were lightweight pistons, conrods and crankshaft out of the SLS, boosting power to 480bhp – the engine mods having been previewed in the 513bhp ‘ DR520’ model. The latter was struck from the Performance Plus Pack, introduced in 2010, along with the higher-grade suspension. This was raised to 174mph through the optional Performance Pack, which also brought uprated suspension and brakes, a carbonfibre boot lid spoiler and the all-important limited-slip differential. Hooked up to AMG’s impressive, seven-speed torque converter (Speedshift Plus 7G-tronic) transmission the C63 dispatched 0-60mph in 4.4sec and topped out at a (limited) 155mph. Away from comparisons, the C63 is a true thriller and wonderfully indulgent receptive to large angles of slip, tyre-smoking action and of course boasting the archetypal AMG soundtrack.ĭerived from the W204 C-class, the AMG C63 launched in the UK as a saloon and estate, its M156 6.2-litre V8 developed 451bhp at 6800rpm and 442 lb ft of torque. However, the margins were slim: where the AMG fell down dynamically, the M3 was unflustered and totally composed. Like its arch-rival the E92 BMW M3, the C63 had a V8 engine – displacing 6.2 litres – endowing it with a typically-AMG, polished, hot rod persona.Įvo pulled the above duo together on six separate occasions to crown an overall victor in the BMW M3. When the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (2008-2014) went out of production, naturally-aspirated AMGs were no more.
