That's what I was wondering. They're showing MB with black wheels and I couldn't figure out how to choose gold wheels with CCB.

I hope there's a way to select your exact specimen.

I think I read that the other configurations are coming. There must be a way of emailing them and I'm sure they'll come back with the confirmation.

It is very cool they're making these. I'm thinking of keeping it at work so I can imagine driving it when I'm not at the wheel.

F87EVO · 02-13-2021, 04:37 AM

ive send them an email. hopefully they will tell us to order the models , and then hopefully they will ask us about the configurations. Ill post the updates.

I've been wondering about this too?

I'm also curious about the 1/43 and 1/8 scale.

f80_MG · 02-13-2021, 10:11 AM

Heard back from Max - 1/43 and 1/18 are up on the website. I didn't ask about the customization (apologies).

1:8 will be released in another 3-4 months.

gmhl10 · 02-13-2021, 06:31 PM

So I just got a reply back from Max @ Minichamps regarding these models.

Key points that I've gotten from him:
- Those that have already emailed Venom or Max about what you want, you'll still want to submit a pre-order on the website.

- 1/43 scale and 1/8 scale will be on the website in the following months. Only 1/18 scale on the website right now.

- Manual transmission and DCT will be select-able in the 1/18 model. All 1/43 scale are DCT though. 1/43 is so small that it's barely able to be noticed though.

- All M2 CS will be red brakes. For those that are wanting the CCB gold calipers, the caliper color will be changed in their workshop afterwards. (I'm assuming the gold calipers will only be available by pre-order only though since it sounds like considerable effort of Minichamp's part to do so. I wanted red calipers so I didn't really ask further.)

- Both gold and black wheels will be offered.

I hope that clears some things up and offers some more information.

Thank you for this.

Just to sum up, as I understand it, we place an order online and then email them with the finer details like the CCB or wheel colour etc

Right?

Right?

No problem! Yes, to my understanding, that is the case since you aren't able to select those options on the website.

On a side note, I'm so glad Minichamps is offering this in diecast and not composite resin!

F87EVO · 02-15-2021, 01:28 PM

Placed my order yesterday , send the email @aheck@paulsmodelart.de to inform about my order and to tell him about my configuration.

Venom Can you please confirm if this is the procedure?

Thanks!

MadBimmeRad · 02-15-2021, 08:25 PM

My order is in but I hope they will be able to adjust the wheels and brakes etc

I've already had emails following up and they are getting specific in customization - including down to bespoke number plate. I'm sure you'll be fine.

medphysdave · 02-17-2021, 10:05 PM

I was told the 1:43 will be live on the site next month and i can wait to put in an order for both.

CarJunkie · 02-17-2021, 11:21 PM

I can see dozens of M2C owners sending SolM2CS@coldmail.com lots of hate mail.
