C55 AMG
Purchased advans C55 amg

What's up Mb community my name is Mike. I am the new proud owner of Advans C55 amg. Currently under new owner-ship I already encountered two problems one was with the MaF which was repaired immediately, next was someone ended out putting a couple of ugly scratches onto the car like they had a wrestling match on it? There was a couple of things that needed to be repaired also when purchasing the car but as I already knew this it was not a big deal. As of right now the car is getting sanded clear coated & resprayed with glasurit paint. With the new respray I will also be receiving a new bumper OEM. Car should be coming back to me show room condition in a few weeks.

I guess he swapped out his bumper to the regular stock but kept the carbon fiber lip on it. The bumper had a crack on it that was covered with plasti dip. If you look at his recent pictures that is on the for sale thread he did not have the clk bumper.
