Very clean and tastefully done. AMG insignia on CF front lip looks great.
I like the 17s but have you considered the 18s from the C55 so you keep the OEM look.
A close up of the CLK63 brakes front and rear would be appreciated.

He already has the 18s - can't recall if they're C55, or CLK55. You can't do the CLK63 brakes with the 17s - they BARELY clear the 18s, IIRC.

thx man!
i have looked for that everywhere... but i have not been able to find one i like
ya that is a for sure... i may get it painted matted black or get the carbon fiber strip and glue that on as a rear diffuser. but that would not be done for some time... my car is got a little nick on the back bumper, so when the bumper goes in for a new paint job it will get the black painted diffuser.
THX!!!
thx!!!
lol... u know what i keep getting wheel rub on the driver side rear wheel and i cant seem to make it stop.. i think the offset on the wheel is messed up i have done everything i can to try to fix that problem... but i just cant fix it. so for that reason i dont thin i would ever lower my car. i hate wheel rub and i would not want to bottom out. so dropping the car is out of the question.

I'm confused by "CLK63 brake setup" in your sig.
Anyway, the wheels and brakes look great (and huge) so thanks for posting and with the center part of the bumper painted it will look even meaner. I'm guessing it stops like it hit a wall. What percent tint are you running?

and trust me my tire size is right.. the only think i can now think of is that the offset on the wheel is off on that one wheel. so i'm going to get a new wheel and see what happens from there.

the car does stop like it hit the wall. its grate u never have to worry about brake fade.
My car does not have an after-market tint, its the stock AMG tint, that is a little shade of blue.

well... my car is running on stock 18" wheels off the C55 and only the driver side rear wheel rubs... it has been in the dealer about 5 times trying to fix this problem and they have adjusted my fender and made some other changes, but could not fix the problem......
and trust me my tire size is right.. the only think i can now think of is that the offset on the wheel is off on that one wheel. so i'm going to get a new wheel and see what happens from there.

if you didn't trim those out, then there's no excuse.

lol ya those brakes do attract a lot of attention from benz fanatics, regular ppl just dont even notice them, but the ones that do really like the brake setup and just stair at them. they were a big hit on my wallet to, but i got a grate deal on them so i just got them.

no its highly unlikely that i would put on coil-overs, i might do sway bars if i can find someone that are better then the AMG ones, but so far i have had no luck with that. but we will see

there are at least 3 setup for sway bars I can think of that's better than the AMG's on top of my head. Eibach, H&R, Brabus, etc.
stock suspension on the C32 sucks and you know it. at least get the springs to reduce those wack understeers.
