Tomorrow is the Day

Designo Graphite CLS55 to be delivered tomorrow afternoon after a two week trip from Ohio

I've already got bumper plugs to fix the holes for the front plate holder (Ohio dealer car). Lorinser roof spoiler, already painted for graphite 041, should be here shortly. And I will schedule Huper Optic tint through the local dealer. Once I see the car in the flesh I'll order the new shoes, right now heaving leaning towards Vellano VSMs 20x9 & 20x11 (chrome lip, brushed centers) with Pirelli 255/30 and 305/25 PZero Nero tires. Charcoal/antracite centers may look good too but will give the car more of a boy racer than classy sport sedan feel.

Some CLS55 (idrivatitleist's car for instance) seem to sit pretty low on the Sport2 setting without additional lowering. But I expect some further lowering will be needed, still not sure of StarDiagnostics versus other alternatives (modules, brackets, washers, etc).

Hopefully I'll have pics up by Wednesday.

Sounds very nice. Here's clearly someone who loves their CLS55

Where are you getting your Vellano's from? Any particular reason for that brand? I saw an awesome picture of a black CLS55 with VSH rims on their site. Will you need spacers for those wheels?
