Looks great all blacked out. Where in the Middle East are you?

Gooseyman · 03-08-2012, 04:07 AM

theunderlord & Kevwood thnx for your comment.

im from Abudhabi "UAE". i have been visiting this forum for quite some time now but i didn't have the chance to sign up and share stuff until i saw couple of posts on the CL that made me buy a CL63 and to put these ideas into action and here it is and i have to say that i miss the feeling on Upgrading & customizing. My previous car was a G55 2011 which tbh is just a waste to change anything in it.

well, the conversion took like a week to install but the workshop i work with are slow so im sure u can do it in a shorter period... what ive done is ive bought the LED 2011 cl63 ones with its grills and ive managed to fit them in my cl63 2008 ones ...with a little of work as ive takin Away the circle yellow dim light and replace them with the 2011 ones the only problem ive faced is the electricity issue now it doesnt work as dim lights it only works with the main lights cause of the watts ...

What tire size are you running on those wheels? I assume its 21X10 all the way around.

well you will have 2-3 options i think ... the one i went with is

Michelin
295/25 21 Rear
255/30 21 Front i find the 255 is kinda small on the wheels but ive alrdy paid installed so ill need to suck it up till it gets worn off maybe...

you can also use ...

Pirelli flat tire "stiff tires"

275/30 21
275/30 21

and yes all the wheel size comes 21x10

budiu22 · 03-11-2012, 12:22 PM

very hott!!!

love all blacked out CLs!

my only 2 cents woyld be painting the calippers red so they match the tail lights! i used to have yellow callipers too on my blacked out 215 but i painted thjem red and looks alootttttt nicer!

Gooseyman · 03-12-2012, 02:11 AM

i would like to thank every one for their kind words... heres more pics

Duke04Matt · 03-21-2012, 05:50 PM

Very nice!

Are the calipers painted or powder coated?

I didn't know you can run 275 on the front. Is it too wide (rub)?

I've had my eyes on a G55. Was it not that good that you sold it too quickly?

Nice black out car. I like the way you did with the led fogs.

i test drove the 275 for maybe a mile with turns etc ... and 265 for a whole day and i have to say the 265 was really close to rub... what im using now is what i've mention above and its smooth like a silk.

G55 is a whole new adventure for anyone who haven't driven the car it just simply takes the SUV to a whole new level.
its very difficult for me to answer it but ill give it my best shot...

Great car overall...but it has BUTs ... too stiff of a ride (ive changed the suspension for more comfortable ride a week after i bought the car made the driving experience a bit less sportier) there not much room at the back seats and on top of that it tooooo expensive for its value... AC is **** too.
other than that u can frostbite the car and throw a fireball on it and it will still work like no tomorrow...what i love about it is that it combined the classic original tough body shape the endurance the stamina with high tech performance and interior.
not to forget im single i dont have a family to pick up and i always ride it either alone or with 2 friends..
would i recommend anyone to buy the ..HELL YAAA! damnit just writing those words made me miss the g55

PS ... my comments would have been "different IF" i sold the car lower than the price i paid for it.

_AMG_ · 03-25-2012, 02:35 AM

Looks amazing!

Way more aggressive with the black wheels.

Thanks much for the education. I've never driven a G55 but everyone I asked told me it was stiff. I've have a tough time choosing between G55 and GL450. I want a "toy" but also want something that I can take my family on long trips every now and then.

Thanks again and enjoy your CL63

any problem with the ML wheels offset? Any chance you could give us a part number for the wheels. They looks awesome!!!

your absolutely right, i mean after one month with the yellow callipers ive noticed it would have been much better if they were RED.

there no problem with the offset and the wheels only comes in one size OEM 21' 10 2010 ML 63 AMG wheels no need for part number.

wastedyolk · 03-25-2013, 12:12 AM

Gooseyman, are you running spacers on the wheels or did you just put them on with the tire sizes you mentioned above? Thanks
