^^^ nice car.
For your air tubes did you modify the radiator support and change the scoops there?

GezaBMX

Martin, thanks for the pic! Those rims do look nice I have to say.
The avatar picture was a birthday present, too cool not to show off :-D

megacrazy

Thanks. Nope just plain old heat wrap on the tubes and a thicker heat shield type on the air box. I wish somebody made some carbon fiber tubes for our cars

gixxerboy

i did 3inch polished inter-cooler tubing and inter cooler elbows. I cut the shroud a little and put some bigger scoops behind the grille. But i want better scoops, i may have a sheet metal guy make something, i seen a design i like on e55's

megacrazy

Yeah I was looking at the E55 scoops as well but it seems like a hassle for something that probably won't add any power. You have any pics of your setup?

CLK350_ATX

Very nice ride, I also just picked up my 09 CLK grand edition this weekend, super excited!!

merceBENZ

What is grand edition? What is so special about it?

CLK350_ATX

Grand edition is just the final promotion added on to the last model year for CLK. But I do like the color combination - Palladium Silver paint with a Tobacco Brown leather interior with beige stitching and aluminum trim.

"For 2009, a limited number of "Grand Edition" CLK350 coupes and cabriolets will be available, which feature 18-inch AMG wheels and AMG styling elements". 500 coupe, and 500 convertible.

merceBENZ

Well, in this case it sounds as a perfect color combination. Are they more expensive than regular?

CLK350_ATX

I don't think so...

merceBENZ

I mean right now. 7 years later..

Martin_F

Thanks @CLK350_ATX !
I've been enjoying mine a lot since I got it.
Post some pics of your's when you get a chance!

BTW, did you get the NAV DVD from the other thread?

Martin_F

Mine was a little higher than comparable 2009 350s, but I attribute that to the great shape mine is in. Inside and out.

At least that's what I thought, before I notice the leak

CLK350_ATX

I will once I have a chance to take some picture.

Yes, I end up purchased from the ebay link.

merceBENZ

Did you make him $100 offer?

Martin_F

That's what I did, but he accepted right away.
So I payed too much

merceBENZ

But his listing is 150. It seems like you have got a deal... At first sight..

Martin_F

Yes, I thought I was low-balling at $100.
I'd just wait until he relists the item and give it a shot!

It's an original DVD, that works fine. But it didn't come in the original cover. In case anybody is worried about that kinda stuff.

merceBENZ

He relists them so often. I wonder where does he get them...

CLK350_ATX

Thank for your info, I did, offered at $94 plus $5 shipping... I kind wonder how low would he sell it...

merceBENZ

$80 shipped would be the best! Given that is 1 year old now...

Martin_F

Sounds like we'll find out soon. I'll be pissed

Martin_F

Just remembered now. I found this place after I already ordered the one from ebay:

EDIT: Removed link due to scam concern.

CLK350_ATX

This one is even better... too late for me.

Martin_F

Sorry about that...
