    Santa, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?

    There are always gift cards. My kids have bought me Harbor Freight in the past since I shop there a lot. And Amazon for more generic stuff. They have also given me Omaha Steaks certificates too.

    Picking up a 2022 CT4 V BW

    There's been mention in other threads of front plate mount alternatives that connect under the splitter or through the grill that don't drill holes through the bumper. Too late to prevent damage that's already done in your case, but maybe a better look...

    Maybe the previous or current gen Golf R. I'm seeing new inventory left for the last year of manuals.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT4-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    I posted pics in this thread: Who Wants the First Corsa CT4-V Blackwing Exhaust System? I don't know about part numbers for the muffler. They build it all as a system. I think, but I'm not certain, the mufflers are the same 4 BW and 5 BW. If I recall, I think they said the only differences...

    Rear spolier upgrade

    This is a good thread for anything CF upgrade. Here is my highlights for the rear spoiler Carbon fiber PN database. There are other posts too, many for the CT5 but there are similarities.

    7. You can use your points on parts or accessories at Cadillac.com. You need to set up your account, and then verify your points are there. It may take a few days to show up. My dealer set me up with the android app before I left the dealership. If you have your points in your account, you can...

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    If you have any dealer installed parts, check that you get the parts they removed. This includes painted mirror covers if you got the black cover option, V floor mats if you have the premium ones installed. I also had black lug nuts, but they don't seem to give the chrome ones based on other...

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    After reading this I figured I'd check my '22 4BW. I felt under there and sure enough mine is missing those too, three on each side like the 5BW. Conveniently, I still have over 40 screws left over after adding the factory CF parts.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT4-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Corsa Tour Photos Continued... Valves closed, it's almost silent. Valves open, it can get really rowdy. Either way the sound is good. Our director reports it is somewhat louder on the inside. Carl said that is expected and somewhat due to the active noise cancellation not being as effective...

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT4-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Our Cadillac V-Club chapter was given a tour of the Corsa facilities on Friday. It was very impressive, and Carl Lemmerman Jr., (Corsa Produce Manager) was a terrific and gracious host. I got many photos on the tour, but I'll try to post here the specific ones for the 4 and 5 Blackwings. Our...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I think it was a mistake using a clay bar and polishing compound on ceramic. I think synthetic clay towels are OK used with lubricant, but not a true clay bar. I have a spray bottle with diluted rinseless wash for the occasional bird dropping. I'm not sure what the best plan is for a stain that...

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    They say the offset spacer is optional, and I didn't use it. It's only 2-3 mm different from OEM so you're not going to see a difference, and there are no brake or suspension conflicts. You can email them and they'll give you all the information you need.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    The hub spacers come with the wheels. I don't recall any branding.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    No check engine codes yet? Some folks have seen them with the MAF, but it seems to happen in cooler weather so maybe you haven't had those conditions in this summer weather.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    I'm using: Apex VS-5RS 18x9" ET30 Wheels & Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5" ET35 Wheels with the stock tires. The fronts are about identical offset, but the rear push out about 1/2" or so, but don't have any clearance issues. The OEM offset is 28 front and 48 rear. The Apex use hub spacers but they are...

    5BW 6MT Performance Driving

    They'll have a course map showing where the braking should happen and what gears to use. The hand numbering on my attachment is gears for manual. They also put on the presentation board the gears for auto which use more gears. As others said, you're usually only using 3rd and 4th for manual, and...
