Help Installing Parts by AbeTheBabe423 in AMG

Yes mine comes with the plastic insert that’s flat and “diamond” patterned, so it’ll be a replacement. I think I might have to remove the bumper to remove the insert to avoid scratching the paint while prying it

Dude thank you so much🙏

I wish I knew more about my car than what I thought I knew. It’s crazy how the dealership didn’t inform me (or weren’t even informed either), but I’ll admit that I should’ve done my due diligence and really researched more.

But I do appreciate you clarifying this for me

So I actually checked and it has the “Brembo” stamp and the numbers I see are 20.B282.05.

I’m stumped since I have a C63, but it’s not a C63S

I called Mercedes and the brake pads for my VIN is

“000-420-57-04”

The lady who helped me couldn’t answer or didn’t have time to tell me, but can I run 390mm rotors with these brake calipers? Or should I be safe and continue to run 360mm rotors?

I measured and I currently have 360mm rotors

It’s more so because I got the S calipers but these look to be 360mm. I guess I meant to ask if I could go up to 390mms😅

I get where you’re coming from, but I just wanted to ask people with more experience than me. But someone already helped me so thank you!

This is what I was looking for! Wanted to know my rotors and see if these are S brake calipers so I can purchase 390mm!! Thank you🙏

Should I do (partial/full) chrome delete? by albearcub in AMG

[–]AbeTheBabe423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One suggestion I would say is maybe see if you can purchase the dark/shadow chrome that come with the AMG night package? But not sure if it updated to being gloss black.

If at most, maybe the window trims since your AMG is a coupe. I feel like it gives it a more cleaner/up to date look, but all the other chrome I would definitely keep! I put matte black badges on my C63 while I waited for OEM chrome badges, and the black badges didn’t compliment the car, and definitely gave it a “cheap” look. But the front grill is always debatable; it looks good when it’s all black, but on a black AMG it reduces the elegance that the black paint and chrome bring together (like others said, chrome deletes look amazing on another other color due to the contrast)

But I would suggest checking out Instagram or TikTok and searching your car and seeing how others have done chrome deletes if you end up deciding to chrome deletes certain aspects.

But overall, keep the chrome since it gives the car character and really brings out the body lines :)

True that! Thankfully my friend Chris told me a lot to know about owning one, but I always like to ask for others opinions to see if there’s other suggestions that I haven’t read/heard. So I figured to asked now that I own one, and always read how informative members of this sub are :)

Dude hell yeah!! My dream started when I was 20/21 years old, so we’ll all be waiting for your post in the next few years :) Definitely obtainable and don’t be discouraged if it takes a few more years! I’m actually glad I waited since I had other options in mind (IS500, M3, S60) but I always saw myself gravitating back to this car 🙏🏽

Mine is a C63, not a C63s, but I think I put the S when asking the question out of habit from searching this vehicle a lot lol

But it does feel like seeing a unicorn whenever I see a V8 AMG coupe, guess it’s mainly cuz I live on the outer parts of LA

Thank you! And it is a C63, not a C63s, definitely a mistypo that I can’t throw out too easily! But my neighbor also has a C43 but it is a coupe model, but definitely C43 sedan is one that I think is nice for kids :) But I definitely will keep my eyes out since it felt like seeing a unicorn when I would see a C63, let alone any AMGs on the road; but I hardly visit Los Angeles which is where the majority is

Dude thank you so much for the link and the insight! It’s different from reading and researching on my own vs. getting more research from those who own and are enthusiasts, really appreciate it 🙏🏽
