H Kirov ran away from our forum after too many altercations. An arrogant but capable young man.

Valexv,.... ask and you shall receive.

HKirov's CL203 was a 2002 with M111 engine. As you can see, most of the interior has been updated to CL204 and then some. Updated: instrument cluster (fitted in old dash), centre console radio and button control and digital climate control. Steering wheel with paddle shifter and keyless go. Photos taken around June when interior was still work in progress.

And he has his own STAR! Hence the laptop and computer cable in the photos.

As cool as that is, the mirrors don't match the car?

So can the CL204 mirrors be retrofitted into a CL203 without splicing wires?

I don't know why he did not buy a CLC 350. Doing all that work to an old clunker does not make much sense. I guess it's therapeutic.

For those who judge, they better start doing some work instead being so lame.

And engine well : 2006 C55 AMG donor vehicle is getting delivered early spring to give its power away, and one 2005 E55 Supercharger will go the whole way too.

So all my US " Friends " will be welcomed on Canadian soil next summer to see how the 5.4L Supercharged heart beats in the " DAS CLC " .

And for all of them i will supply a poster.

im really interested in doing this conversion but how much will it cost for parts?

I've been offered a c180 but if the cost of parts is too high maybe i should just a get a repaired write off CLC?

I wanna find a step by step on this, which parts require changing etc

Is the mod worth the cost you spent on it? No offense but updating both interior and exterioir would cost a fortune and I imagine its not very far off from trading your car in for a newer one?

Despite that, I find this work extremely astounding, kudos for your dedication.

Would this workfor the sedan conversions though?

A C55 Kompressor in a coupe FTW! I agree that it looks a little odd, but I think that's because in order to put this much time, energy, and money into a project you have to be a little odd
