2010 Mercedes Benz GLK220 4Matic BlueEfficiency
Okay I've changed my mind; the black rims look way better. I'm not usually a fan of blacked-out lights but they look great here. I can stare at the side view all day.
Great job.
Can I ask, how much did everything cost from stock to what you have now?

Still not my cup of tea, but it does look like it was fun to do!

2011 GLK
Removing Emblem from Hatch
I love the black on black on your wife's GLK. My project over the year. However my mercedes emblem cracked this weekend and when I went to remove it I saw the center piece in locked in. How did you get this off?
Thank you
Thank you

H&R springs
Mr JLT, love your glk!!! I've looked into lowering my glk as well, but they say they don't make springs for 4matic? How did u make yours work? Do you think the strut bar makes a noticeable difference? Here's a pic of my GLK

2011 Mercedes GLK 350 4Matic
How much did the hre's cost you if you don't mind me asking and how low did you go with the springs, cause I've got 18's for the winter and want to get 22's or 20's and lower it for the wheel gap. My issue is if I lower it and in the winter put the 18's on will it sit lower then the summer setup

Amg calipers that fit GLKs
Hey thanks guys. We just wanted to build something a little different. I'll get started pretty soon on the wheels and I need to measure the mounting holes on the front and rear calipers to see if any of the other models share any of the suspension/ braking components such as calipers and rotors as I plan to build some BBKs for the front and rear unless I can get some brembo/Amg calipers to bolt up if not I'll mill some brackets.

Mr. JLT
Kudos for an amazing job. I hope you can answer a couple of questions.
The chrome trim on the doors, is that stuck on with adhesive or what? How do you get them off?
Same with the badges etc. at the back. Are they just stuck on? Remover with dental floss??
Again - great job. I envy your skills, I would have buggered it up if I had tried to do half of what you've done.
Cheers, Les

The rest of the chrome around the windows I paint matched
Badges on the back are the same except for the Mercedes emblem it has 3 grommets that it slides into, if you remove the badge just go 3 new grommets from Mercedes cause they break easy so does the emblem.

FYI, yesterday I confirmed the E63 AMG brackets match my GLK front caliper fiting holes, seems only the offset slightly different may require longer bolts with spacers.... Further updates to ve posted soon
