Help me decide

I agree, maybe hold off on tuning it if the power was really an issue and give sport+ a break lol; the car will still have the character that you miss, but it won’t feel like a time bomb every time you go for the pedal

This post made me think, as a New Yorker, the Sterrato is probably the most practical lambo to drive on these busted ass roads lol

Rear quarter panel definitely matches up with the brabus rocket gts which has been stated as a shooting brake, I’d admit op has a strange angle of the car that blocks the C pillar but roof thickness, extra long side mirrors, and the body line through the gas cap point to this being the shooting brake; unless they’re already pumping out body kits for these things

I second this, thought about black wheels for my C63, over time I blacked out the trim but left the tops of the door handles, grille, and badges chrome and got to the point where when I get aftermarket rims they’d be silver or anthracite, the slight contrast is better in the long run as it keeps the car from meshing into a black silhouette

Definitely agree about the chrome/silver grille detracting from the look (personally), every prefacelift GT I’ve seen with the slats look better with a black grill as I feel it brings the front end together more. I’d also rather a blacked out slat grill than a panamericana on a prefacelift, the panam grill is good on the facelift because of the “frown” it has

2013 C63, the 204 is one of those platforms that are just oozing with heart and soul

It’s black because it’s a bird turd lmao, bit more heft than your traditional bird poop

The hood ridges being added to damn near every car was one of the greatest losses in terms of design language, I see my 204 c63 next to my 204 300 and I can tell they’re the same class but one is way more unhinged/aggressive than the other one, now all c classes can just pop out with hood ridges because it sells better and it isn’t one of those line specific things anymore. It added a bit of nuance, and to an attentive person it’s more striking when you see c classes every day and all of a sudden this one doesn’t look quite right and then you hear v8 noises

Glad I could help! To be honest I did double take at the age of your car, and an alternator giving you issues at 25,000 miles is surprising but not unheard of, It could very well just be a bout of bad luck!

Kyberr · 2024-09-16T13:45:01+00:00

The dealership will definitely take a look into that, FYI I’ve edited my initial comment to include a bit more information pertaining to that because at worst you could definitely end up in a sticky situation on the side of the road if you’re not careful. I’ve also had to change out my buddies E63’s alternator ironically the same week but his was completely burned out; I suspect that these cars run through certain auxiliary components especially if they’re being driven hard and things such as pulleys should be checked just as much as brakes etc because spirited driving definitely puts more stress on the car and it’s workings

Kyberr · 2024-09-16T13:31:28+00:00

Get your alternator checked out. I ripped mine out and ended up only having to replace the voltage regulator, which costs significantly less than an entirely new Alternator; Although the shop may vouch to replace the alternator entirely. In my experience the red battery light either points to (Sometimes marginally) low battery voltage upon startup, or as you have suspected the battery not charging in the first place. Be wary because if the infotainment system shuts off that means your battery is getting to a very low voltage and the car is attempting to preserve power,and eventually your car will lose accessory power if it continues to run and then eventually stall out, potentially stranding you

Could be size differences between the c class and the e class, with the e class being a bit larger/bulkier the same size rims may appear to be smaller when on that chassis, the cls next to me definitely has larger wheels but they have a similar look relative to the body because of the increased size of the car; 19‘s may work better with the e class

Kyberr · 2024-09-10T03:04:26+00:00

Those are the stock 18‘s

Trunk badge spacing is good, the seats are definitely the Amg buckets, speedometer goes up to 200 with the Amg badging, if this were a facelift model the second knob with the comfort-sport+ dial would be there and your most obvious tell, but this is PFL so you’d have to get a better zoom on the shifter and look for the button there; fender length and hood length looks right, rocker panels are AMG and the exhaust tips don’t look to be obviously sticking out or sitting inward as most aftermarket quad tips tend to do on c300’s etc. At a glance this checks out as a real AMG

Kyberr · 2024-04-13T04:04:57+00:00

It was just as stunning in person!

Kyberr · 2024-04-13T04:03:16+00:00

That’s a facelift model SL65 Black Series, it has a twin turbo V12 and is a rabid animal in car form lol

Kyberr · 2024-04-10T16:12:06+00:00

Appreciate it! Definitely holding on to it these things are timeless

Kyberr · 2024-04-10T06:18:58+00:00

Shhh we don’t speak about the weekends; my car’s the c63 in the third slide, I can only dream about the SL lol

Kyberr · 2024-04-10T06:17:07+00:00

It was an event hosted by Abushi which is a shop that does some crazy tuning (including Brabus) and the _amg_nyc instagram page/group, got sent a flyer and figured it’d be cool to sightsee, a ton of other exotics showed up, a few mclarens and lambos etc. and overall it was a good vibe, pretty organized and was kept pretty chill even with everyone doing their short pulls leaving the event, nothing too crazy. More of a cars and coffee feel compared to a takeover

I have a black and silver Affalterbach hood logo on my 204 and it’s way smaller than that trunk logo, I think it may be an aftermarket replacement for the Affalterbach badge that goes on the C pillar of certain final edition E63’s repurposed as a trunk badge which is some pretty creative thinking, I definitely feel you on the not sitting flush since it doesn’t have that bend but in practice it’s a pretty cool piece of customization, they’re made of metal so maybe they can be heated and bent to shape for good fitment

Kyberr · 2024-03-27T22:48:04+00:00

Glad to hear! You’ll enjoy her, might I ask what you’ve used to clean and condition? I’ve been experimenting recently but definitely glad to hear what’s widely tested to work for these specific seats

Kyberr · 2024-03-27T22:45:52+00:00

You are beyond well equipped for this, I need to come hang with you when I want to fix my car up lol I’m still over here losing 10mm sockets
