C55 Black Edition feasible?

In theory the front end from clk63 black edition could fit on the c55 and then some one could work on the sides, add the spoiler, and add what ever else to makes a c55 black edition. I mean, it would probably cost an arm and a leg, but couldn't it be done? The c55 already has the front end from a clk.

Maybe some one could do a photoshop of what a C55 Black edition would look like if it was produced. Is it possible to source the parts for the clk63 black edition and would it work? What does everyone think? Is there a kit or anything similar for the c55 that would give it that appearance?

Wouldnt work at all. CLK has a slightly wider grille and front end. The C has a longer wheelbase and is longer in general meaning those side skirts from the CLK wouldnt be long enough to fit. Then that means the fender flares wouldnt fit because they wouldnt be able to fall into the skirts on the bottom of the car which would have to flow into the rear end which is a whole 'nother story. Keep dreaming, cuz it aint happenin.

CLK BE has wider fenders... It won't work...

However, you could get CLK63 bumper + C/F rear spoiler + BE emblem

It definately wont be something that bolts on. But you "could" buy the pieces and retrofit them. But then you are talking SEMA car budget.

Cool concept though.

the c55's front suspension and steering is off the clk63 black-

Oh you're talking about the body- who cares other than being able to fit more tire?

What would be cool is to put in the black shifter

Well, I guess it's just too difficult to do. I wish they would have made a c black edition. Well, maybe the next c will come to us as black edition. Here's to wishful thinking
