You say that but its a big lump, i'm sure it affects the handling. Sounds great though.

I hated the c63 inside, where the M has great seats and is otherwise very dull the c63 felt country club styled.

Fook does it drink fuel!

I've just done 40 miles and it's nearly lost 1/4 a tank. Full fuel tank the range says something like 280 miles

Not like it's a small tank either. £80ish for a Vpower fill up

I probably won't bother modifying it, as I can't yet see it as a long term car, but if I did...

Carbon mirror covers £200
Black wheels £300
Front lip spoiler £600
M performance seats - £4000
M performance wheel - £800
Akrapovic full system / remap (450-460 bhp) £5000
Some sort of CARBON intake £800
Full Dixel brake setup £2500

That's a big wedge, and none of it in any way necessary! But what a car that would be

I love the noise it makes, but it's still not quite enough. Problem is, the warranty issue with the full Akrapovic.

Mirror covers
Seats
Front spoilers
Alcantara wheel.

All OEM Performance parts.

The seats are still heated and have airbags, just manual adjust. £4000 new!

I am impressed with the OEM seats, but I just have a hatred for the look of any seat which has shiny metal headrest poles. Gash
