Here's my new CLS55

At the risk of starting a flame war about who likes what, I thought I would post a few pics of my new CLS55. 1 previous owner. 14K miles and in MINT condition (two small stone chips and 1 faint scratch 1/4" long on the entire car!). Got the full service history and was a CPO. Cost me $55K. Lowered with a Renntech module. Tinted and new wheels with conti tires. All work done by Carnutz in Seattle; good service and no issues. Oh yeah one last thing..
To all the people with an attitude; please use someone else's thread to be rude in.

Just curious, why did you think people would have an attitude? I've been here a lot longer and have not seen that; people have been courteous and welcoming to new members with their cars.

Sorry but I do not have a 63 and do not know where that signature line item came from. Thats a bloody computer system for you..... wish I did but unfortunately I don't. I will try to edit that out.

just been reading a few real *****y comments in a few other threads, particularly the one about "is chrome not cool" .... not really expecting anything but just getting in first.... thanks, I do appreciate most forums for the positive and helpful nature of most people. Of course I realize that by posting something I am open to criticism but just wanted to keep things cool.

Cheers

Welcome! Car looks great. I love the silver grille on silver CLS's.

As far as the comments, I know what you mean.

Thanks for the comments ......
Clear side markers soon...
Wheels are Vossen,.... because I liked the look and wanted a parallel sided, multiple twin-spoke wheel and could not find anything else like this design. Brushed centers and chrome lip of course.
Do not know the lowering settings as this was the first setup. Will be playing with settings over the next couple of weeks. Will advise current settings soon. Rear tires are 305's with no rubbing!
Definitely a little more road noise and fractionally harsher ride but it is still a beautiful ride....just have to keep a good eye out for potholes..
