my 2005 cl65

So I got my CL back in September of last year and I am very happy with it. Car has 59k miles and is capri blue metallic with a black interior. It does have its imperfections which I tend to address they include:

cracked a wheel which was had previous weld done on it. weld cracked- plan on getting new wheels and tires

all wheels have some sort of road rash- see above

front bumper has a crack on passenger side down below- looking into getting it repaired or replaced

paint needs correction- paint corrected and sealed come spring

typical rock chips- probably nothing

rear quarter has a paint imperfection by c pillar- talk to the guy who is doing my detailing and see what he thinks

passenger window on the exterior has 2 scratches on it- going to inquire about getting the window buffed out. i know they do this but i dont know if the scratch is too deep

interior has some scractches on the side panels of the console- inquire into vinyl repair


for a car that is 11 yrs old and has 59k miles id say that isnt too bad. Car has immaculate service records and has 2 previous owners, I am the 3rd. Its spent most of its life in California and was owned for many miles by a Mercedes salesperson. I am now taking it to an independent dealer by me in the chicagoland area called North Pointe Motors in Skokie. Since I've had it has gotten a new radiator due to a slight crack and a service a.

Mods:

wheels: verde axis in staggered sizes 19inch or 20 have not decided
chrome trim blacked out
riglle blacked out
carbon fiber front lip
carbon fiber rear spoiler
carbon fiber diffuser (if i can find one)
muffler delete
dension bluetooth
tail lights tinted
headlights tinted
fog lights tinted





possible mods:

lowering (live in chicago streets are terrible)
speedriven ecu and tcu reflash
speedriven intercoolers and cai


What im noticing is that a lot of parts are becoming scarce for this year car so if anyone can point me in the right direction id appreciate that.

I deleted mine. Sounds the same as with them only louder. In the car the exhaust is just audible, but behind it has a nice growl. Look for my thread about drag racing my car and on a couple passes you can hear it.

Dr Matt, In your video you list mods as resonator delete. Are you referring to mufflers? Our cars just have primary cats and mufflers correct?

Sorry I missed this question. Yes, W215 65's only have cats and mufflers. I deleted my mufflers first, and eventually deleted the cats too. Mine is now straight piped, and I love it.
