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.

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.
