Inquired similarly at our local Penske GMC dealership just today. Need mud flaps and a bed liner to forestall marring my new business truck.
.Probably the only time I can recall the Mrs. being exceedingly patient while swapping tales in the parts department.
Goes without saying she’s hankering for a new(er) AMG.

I guess a forlorn hope that a new refrigerator might satisfy her

Hi Glyn, do you have any updated CLK pics? Been looking forward to seeing them. Did you end up getting your AMG rims? Sorry if you posted and I missed this.

No Sven - I will get round to taking some. Just loving the car. Been through it with a fine tooth comb. All is well. Fixed two minor assembly faults. Dash cupholder facing fell off. Now assembled correctly with all 6 escutcheons hooked in. Drivers door jamb rubber moulding not fitted properly where it traps the roof liner. A little encouragement from a credit card & it's perfect.
I have not made up my mind on wheels yet. I've decided to wear out the tyres first. I spend my life tossing under half worn Conti's because I don't like them. One thing I've realised with the stock wheels is that they are easy to keep clean. At the moment I'm thinking of destaggering the car & putting 17 X 8.5 ET30's up front same as rear. I've put on quite a lot of mileage since I bought her just enjoying the car. The chassis sophistication amazes me. I did not realise Benz had put so much work into the CLK. Quiet, great firm handling, excellent damping & very stiff roll bars especially on the rear.
