Hey guys, i been following posts for a while. I've gone through quite a few benz, but always loved the exclusivity of the c55 (something the C63 i had didnt have) i waited for 2 years to find a white on black with all options. I found 2, one was 120,000+miles and other didnt have nav or HID. right when i almost gave up and bought a pewter one in Vegas, one popped up on autotrader in Michigan with only 39k garage kept. got everything together and flew from Alabama (working there at the time) to Detroit, set up the sale and drove it back to Birmingham. Shipped it back to L.A. once my nursing contract was up and it has enjoyed 20,000 miles of california Sun.
since then first mod was adding back the hood star and euro license insert. played with a few euro plates until i had my custom ones made, clear corner lights, led licence lights, 8,000k HID headlights and fogs and parking lights.
i was just recently in a car accident and will be adding aftermarket stuff and really jumpstarting all this now. I've had an NTG 2.5 unit in box and hideaway license plate sitting. Going to be adding an aftermarket hood, fenders, CLK63 front bumper, Lorinser rear, lorinser side skirts, and some nice 20's (havent decided yet) and a CF front lip and possibly in rear too.
sorry to hear about the accident, but prime opportunity to get some serious mods done. project ideas sound great, look forward to seeing pics of the finished product!
PS - where did you order the hood from and how much was it?

I had to order it from UK. even with the horrible USD exchange rate it was way cheaper than buying it here. I paid 1000$. US companies were trying to charge me $1500!
White with black, black maple, nav, and HID is about as rare and beautiful as it gets. Very nice.
Ya man I wanted the wood but it wasn't too much of a priority so I lucked out with this one having the wood. I wanted to do the brown poplar wood, but the darker one I have had grown on me. seems sporty for the darkness yet classy cuz it's wood. not too much of a CF fan here. and I don't care for the brushed aluminum at all.
So the left fender has a gap between headlight. manufacturer is supposed to send replacement piece and shop said they would do it for free. Fogs didnt fit but I think I'm gonna do an LED strip like the newer E63. Looks too agressive in front now, but once i get wheels and the rear bumper and side skirts, i think it will tone down the front. Love the side marker delete and new front bumper. Selling the C55 original bumper, fogs, and L fender (should fit CLK55)
