Hello all. After lurking the forum for a while, I'm officially part of the club after purchasing a CLS55 from user blackkompressor. (see a few threads below)

He is a standup guy by the way. Everything involving his car is legit and no hidden surprises so far..He took great care of this beautiful car and I appreciate purchasing from such a straight up guy.

Although he has great taste and did everything with quality parts and work, I am considering making the car a little more "mine" so to speak...

I havent really decided on what I want to do, but I'm thinking of getting of rid of the Brabus Rocket front bumper (parktronic), and Klass Forged 3 piece wheels. They are both in excellent condition.

I'm looking for $3000+freight (local pickup around Seattle) for the bumper (painted iridium silver)

$2000+shipping (local pickup around Seattle) for the wheels
brushed face, polished lips (two extra lips and 1 extra barrell included)
9.5" up front (according to the previous owner, I havent verified yet
11" in the back

Price for the bumper is on the high side.

GLWS!

I couldnt really find any reference point for the price of the bumper....I figured it's the internet, and people will offer away anyways

Hey Dave! Thanks for the kind words and glad you are enjoying her so far. Great pics! (weird to see my car again tho) I recognize Dodger stadium and the beach...Santa Monica or Venice maybe?

Anyway, good luck with everything and it was great to meet you. I am happy in the regard that at least she will be driven, and driven hard once in a while hopefully!

Enjoy!

And ps, yes, I'm 99.999% sure that they are 9.5" front and 11" rear.

Gisho! Yes, it is Santa Monica. Great meeting you as well. I appreciate everything, I made it home without a hitch. Still havent figured out those damn pulse seats though lol. I have verified that pulse is the massage function, but it doesnt seem to work so I may need a repair...

Im thinking about switching the bumper and the wheels, but have grown fond of your setup so we'll see what happens. I can think of worse things than being "stuck" with a Brabus front end, and 3 piece wheels, lol.

Anyhow, it was a pleasure and I hope the remodel goes well and the bigger boat is on it's way.

Any idea on whether the rims would fit an 06' e55 ? And are they 20" ?

They are 20". Unfortunately, I don't know if they will fit an E55. This is my first Benz so I'm not up on ease of transferability between other Benz's. I can try and get the specs from the previous owner, or maybe if he checks this thread, he will chime in..If I'm not mistaken, he may have owned an E55 prior to the CLS

price on the bumper is very high. i think the brabus bumper can be bought new unpainted for around $1500...

Is the bumper Iridium Silver?
If so I am in Seattle so please pm me.
Thanks

Yes, they are 20"s. They will not fit an E55 to my knowledge. I don't think the off-set is correct. I believe they will fit the SL as well, however. My last car before the CLS55 was a CL55.

Thanks Gisho!

Thanks for the heads up...As of now, the only link I can find for the bumper prices it a $3295 (unpainted) with a wait of 8-10 weeks, or freight of $1250. I've been told that they are becoming pretty rare...

A chat specialist at Vividracing.com also confirmed this pricing and wait time...

At the end of the day, it's the internet and people are going to offer what they will, so any reasonable offers will be considered...

Parts still for sale?
