North 44 C55 Pic's Part I

I've had the car for a week now and without a doubt, this is the best all around sport sedan I have every owned or driven. I broke it in VERY hard and at 1200 Klm its running like a dream. We swapped the stock P Zero Rosso's for Michelin PS2's (225/40/18F & 255/35/18R). I have found I have much more grip off the line and if it makes sence, somewhat less understeer with the PA2's.

Thank you to everyone on this forum that helped make this a very easy choice.

CL Grille on its way from Autowerks this week and will post pic's when installed.

Great man !! I was confused by some threads saying that the CL Grill cannot fit to C55 , or is it the CLK grill that has the problem ?

CNT: PA2's very quiet with alot less road noise and extreme grip in the wet.

Its the W209 grill that won't fit correctly.....can't get your hand under the hood to open the latch. Autowerks have a kit that solves the issue.
