During the 2nd part of the ride



At the last stop, analysing why I couldnt shake this Ford Focus RS. Apparently, its stage 3 with 450bhp & 700Nm. That explains



Parked

Arriving at the scene

And a dream came true, I always wanted to have proper rolling shots of the CLS

Bought some stuff to organize the workspace, very happy with this!

Replaced the Bosch 010 with a Pierburg CWA-50. Didnt do any measurements yet, but seems to work fine.

Bought a new 2nd hand camera, a Nikon D810 with Nikkor 24-70mm. Pretty happy with some testshots. My Microfourthirds camera will be sold again (Panasonic G6

Also took some new pics of the engine bay while I was at it

Some pictures from a carmeeting last saturday. I shot pictures with my new camerasetup. I sold the Panasonic Lumix G7 and bought back a trusted platform: Nikon D810 with my dream lens, the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8.

Next to an Audi TTS (2.0 TFSI, 310bhp, Quattro) & a VW Golf 1.4 TSI with Red Bull livery



I love the new headlights

Met up with @UncleBenz55 at the Nurburgring and shot some pictures together with his CLS500 to CLS55 conversion. Seems I was just in time, as it was sold not too long ago

The area around the Nurburgring is simply stunning

Last 3 of the set. As you can see it was a beautiful day





The BBS CHR look great on the W219 CLS!

Yeah, I sold it yesterday

At least we have some good pictures to remember it by

Fabricated some ghetto air scoops as I didnt want the small W211 E-class scoops and adjusting them for W219 platform. I went to town with cardboard for mocking up and using simple aluminium plate for the final product. I didnt paint them, as I dont feel thats it needed. I can still make them black for the more stealth look, but for now I am keeping them silver.







Already looking mega aggressive, I like it



Let the scooping begin!



Another angle





Finished look (at least, for now)









My butt dyno says they are working. Pickup, especially when you already are making some speed, feels improved. Not bad for some time and some aluminium sheet (and fixing hardware)

The air scoops are looking good! Nice work! Good to see air scoops for the W219s. Is the gold foil tape working well?

Must be nice to live in a place where the air is cool.
Here the temperature has been over 38 Celsius multiple times over the past few weeks. I can't afford to lose any airflow through the radiator and AC condenser...
