My 2006 CLS 55 AMG from Norway
Hi!
I`m a newbie from Norway, just got my first Mercedes after owning 3 BMW Z4s.
I imported this one from Germany, it has only one owner before me, and just 58000km. So a really nice example
I`m also loving the Designo piano panels inside over the standard wood
My plans for the car is:
-20" wheels
-Lowering links
-Facelift tail lamps
-Facelift module for lamps
-C63 paddles
-AMG velour mats
-Alcantara steering wheel and gaiter
-X-pipe from CKS Performance
-Stage1 tune from EC
-Gloss black grille
-Gloss black original diffuser
-CLS 55 badge
-Spacers
-And some more
Here`s some pics from when it arrived Norway

Then I have done some modding
New 20" wheel are mounted, I went with SLS/Black Series Replica wheels. Have not seen this combo on a CLS before
Some lowering links and CLS 55 badge was also mounted.

Hi!
I bought them from a company in UK, called CKS Performance. They are 8,5 and 10". I needed a 15mm spacer in front and rear to get them more flush
I have just received my CKS Performance X-pipe from them also, will post pictures when I have mounted it tomorrow

Time for an update again
I ordered a X-pipe from CKS Performance to get a nicer sounding car.
This one I got mounted today and it sounds perfect, no drone and not too much sound
This is what we parted out from the original exhaust
And here is the new X-pipe welded in
Then I mounted my new gloss black grille with chrome inserts (Winter wheels on)

Did rear tail lights swap yesterday. Tail lights is from the facelifted CLS and bought brand new together with Frenchy modules(Thanks TheFranchy). They work great and no error codes
First pic shows the new on left side and old on the other side:
Both installed

Had to do some work on my black piano panels this weekend. They were a little scratched and had some swirls. So I demounted the center console for easy access with my polishing machine. I just taped around the big panel, it was access enough there for my polisher
Products used from start to end result:
1. Wool-pad with S3 Gold
2. Medium pad with Swissvax cleaner fluid professional
3. Swissvax wood polish applied with fingers
Result

Got two new mods done today
I ordered the rear diffuser in carbon, but it had a finish that I was not happy with. The carbon structure was fine, but the clear coat was not good. It had a rough finish and some areas had to much clear coat.
A little hard to see it in the picture:
So I handed it over to the paint shop that had to spray over 15 layers of clear coat and sand it down between the layers
After a hell of a job
The finish got really good in the end
My second mod was to mount my custom alcantara gear boot, it has the same alcantara color as the AMG seats. And I wanted light grey stitching as my headliner.
I also had my steeringwheel done in same finish and will post pictures of that one when fitted
