Just sold my E46 M3 and bought a 2004 Clk500. Thought i would share my progress. Thanks!
When i bought it two weeks ago:


Plasti-dipped the front reflectors and grill Matte Black, installed carbon fiber front lip


Installed Carbon Fiber Trunk Lip


CURRENTLY wrapping the wood interior trim with white carbon fiber, thought i'd give a sneak peak. will probably take off the amg sticker


Exhaust tips come tomorrow for quads and i will be having the calipers painted yellow tomorrow as well! will keep updating

Nice purchase. Just wondering, why did you sell the E46 M3?

lmal355

I loved it, but it was a convertible and not very practical, this car offers much more space. I also got tired of the SMG shifting

update! painted calipers yellow

your car looks like my car before any mods.

i like the front carbon fiber spoiler.

have to pay a little more attention to detail: the wrap around the shifter should have done a better job. you should remove the wood piece to wrap it, it will look much better.

also the yellow paint on the calipers, i can also see dripping paint as well. i think silver looks better than yellow on this car. yellow stands out too much, maybe a porsche can pull it off.

thanks, at first i only used tape and silicon glue, but then i got worried and installed 8 self-tapping screws to hold the lip flush and secure, worked great.
I ordered another 6' sheet of vinyl im going to reapply the doors and dash in some areas. My friend enlightened me with his plastic razor edging tool and i had some success smoothing edges with it last night.
Probably gonna go back over the calipers with a needle noser filing piece and touch up brush.

whats the emblem on the front fender?

Looks like a 6.3 AMG badge. OP please remove it lol

lmal355

Lmao yeah a 6.3, my friend had them on his c300 and took them off so I wanted to see what it would look like. Do any manufacturers make something that will keep the fenders from looking so bare? Need bigger wheels or something :/

beejAMG

ill just take it off and leave it, looks a lot better imo. your wheels are nice but yeah, bigger and a lil drop wouldnt hurt. hows the rear diffuser comin'?

lmal355

Just finished all 4 calipers, I'm contemplating keeping these wheels, getting h&r springs and spacers and go for extreme poke?

beejAMG

hmmm, its your car mate but personally, i wouldnt do that. just lower it and then take it from there. see how you go after you lower it, if you still wanna go with the extreme poke. its your call.

lmal355

ok i think i'll do that. Im itching for some E63 Reps as well. Diffuser isnt going to arrive for a week or two, tracking says about 9 days from now.

What are your tire sizes that you guys wanna run on 18s? I have stock rims and looking to upgrade too

omega48er

looks good! minus the 6.3 badge. lol

mbnz230

try the v8 badge like mine or a 5.0L badge. i think they look good too so people will get off your tail about the 6.3 hehe.

on the first pic, your rear springs seem to sit really high compare to mine, maybe its just the unlevel ground.
