I'm in New Zealand and just bought this import from Japan. 54kms (about 35 miles), 1 owner, full service history. Goes really well. Thinking of tints, slightly larger rear tires and paint out the silver body strip.

Thanks for the compliment............No M113K swap but I'm still looking for an '08 CLK63 AMG BS in a Fire Opal Red (Mars Red). Almost bought one in Portland Oregon November 2018 but seller misrepresented condition. You can see my post in the BS Forum on MBWorld.....

Please post some more pics of your C55!

Ahh hence the metallic flakes lol. It's a beautiful color. I can't tell if its an actual rare color or it just appears that way because the c55 is so rare.
