She's in!

Picked her up at the end of last week and have been loving it since!
Time to go driving.

Cheers,

I think it's that dark blue color. When you see that color in person it's absolutely beautiful. Congrats

I am more of a black and silver kind of guy. But I must say, I have seen some very nice deep metallic blue cars (one guy on the CLK forum has his car in the color) and it looked great.

My first mod was changing the Nav screen to AMG.
My wheels came in weeks ago but there's no tires available at the moment.

I ordered a set of Savini SV4s' in Obsidian black. I'll definitely post pictures as soon as I get them on. I'm just waiting for the P-Zero Nero Summers to show up.

I'm loving the car! It's just so effortless on the highway. Gobs of torque to play with, and it's so smooth.

It was really a toss between the CLS and an M5 but I think I made the right decision for my needs. It's just so sexy to look at!
