Might have better luck searching for "HKirov Das CLC"

HKirov also posted here on MBWorld two days ago,.... post #42

Funny thing is when Mercedes introduced the CLC,... after the out cry from cancelling the CL203 without a replacement,... Mercedes said the new CLC (though it looked similar to CL203) had about 11,000 new different parts that weren't shared. Well,... I guess HKirov found a few share-able parts!

Here's a photo of HKirov CL203 coupey (note: BIX, AMG bumper & M111 engine) before the CLC mod:

I remember seeing the white one from Fashion Week. I was amazed in how similar it was to the older Cl203. I'm now even more astonished to see how many "new" parts are neded for it. Someone should CLC63 one!

OK guys i am working on wide body for it, will actually do extended fender flares same as the CLK DTM since i cant lower the rear enough and same time using bigger tires.

so i have 235/35/19 x8.5 front and 275/30/19 x8.5 rear, i want to switch the rear ones in the front and get 305/30/20 x10 for the rear, so thats why i have to cut of and make my fenders wider.

will post some pics this days of the fabrication process.

Looks very nice! Nice update for the car. How did the w204 fenders line up with the door front edge?

Here stateside we can get replacement 204 fenders for a little over $150 each. Carbon fiber hood under $1000 shipped plus headlights.

I assume you really meant to ask about CL204 fender for coupe,... instead of W204 fender for sedan.

The CL204 fender line up perfectly with the (CL203) door front edge. But if you're thinking of putting CL204 fender on CL203, its not the door edge that you should be worried about,... its the front of the fender where it meets a different headlight assembly and bumper. If you're going to change to CL204 fender, you'll need to update to CL204 bumper, headlight assembly, grille, hood, etc,... The whole front end on CL204 is about 7 inches longer too (notice how the original CL203 support is cut - that blue parallelogram near coolant tank).

No, W.

Wheelbase of the coupe and 204 is around one inch as I was worried stock coupe wheel offsets would have a sunken in look but that can be changed. With aftermarket fiberglass and carbon fiber pieces for the 204 it'll still be half the cost of the CLC exterior upgrades.
