Thumbs up Dropped my car to Renntech
Brand new to this board, and trying to get the hang of it. Regardless, just received my CLS 63. And I told Renntech to do it all.
Pictures are coming.
I usually never touch the look of a car (rims, bumper, etc...). But was wondering what rims I should look at if I'm considering of changing them.
All the best

Congrads on the CLS 63.
Renntech is one of the Best in the world when it comes to Mercedes.

What are you having them do to enhance your ride...?

Jim,
Thanks man. They really are top notch. They are doing the slip differential, upgrading the transmission, added the inter cooler, and changing the down pipes too 100, and ECU upgrade.
All the best,
Michael

Max, very cool. I grew up in nmb and live in aventura. iPad isn't giving me the option to load pics but when I get on my pc I will. It's palladium silver, black interior.
And I have all football season to play with the car since Ireland isn't my favorite person right now.
All the best,
Michael

Congrats again , we are all anxious to see the pictures but I have a feeling it is gorgeous , Palladium is one of two favorites of mine ! Until yesterday I was driving a Gorgeous Black Cl600 .. but once I saw that Black Opal CLS in person I gave in right away. the Twin Turbo V8 must be awesome , specially tweaked by these guys .. best of luck

Thanks. I am very interested in your impressions although since you are doing everything at once it may be difficult to gauge the results from the transmission rebuild alone.

Congrats and keep all of us posted.

It's cool for the future I guess. If they ever need to do a swap with turbos then the tranny upgrade will be completed.

I never heard of anyone needing a tranny upgrade with an ECU tune though
