Pics of Vendetta's '01 CL600
Friends,
Here are some pics of my 2001 CL600. I purchased it pre-owned from a private dealer for $50K flat. On top of that, I spent $2K for a 2-year, 60,000 mile, no-nonsense, cover-everything warranty. The car had about 28,000 miles on it. These are some pics of it in the condition I purchased it....

Current Photos of Vendetta's CL600
I've done some cosmetic upgrades since I've purchased the car, including a slight tint on the windows (they did the rear in one piece, perfectly), and upgrading to the current-style tail lamps.
I've also added 19" rims, staggered 8.5" in front and 9.5" in the rear. The tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's at 245/40 front and 275/35 rear.
Thanks to Mik at Mik-Box.com, I was able to integrate my Motorola V600 into the COMAND system.

Current Pics, continued...
A few more...
That's where the car stands as of now. I'll revert to the OEM AMG rims and Pilot all-season tires come October or November when there's a possibility of snow. Meantime, I'll enjoy the larger, stickier, and yeah a little rougher wheel/tire combo.
Later this month I'll be upgrading the ECU with RENNtech through a Group Buy that AMG2GO has set up for us on the forums. (Reach out to him if your interested.)
Cheers fellas!

V, it looks great man... but I am telling you... it needs to drop an inch. My car looks a lot better since I dropped it that one inch... and I go back to stock whenever I want with the dash switch. In fact I drive most of the time with it up high as the ride is a bit better. But on smooth roads, or if I park it, I just lower it back down. It looks nice sitting parked low.

Figuring it's a grand anytime you go to the dealership to get something fixed or replaced, this warranty should easily pay for itself. If you want more info (that's all I've got at hand), shoot me a PM.

I got a great deal on the car itself, so I basically spent the money I didn't spend on the car, well... on the car!

I just had him send me a lot more pictures of his car. I have a huge monitor and the pictures that are posted through mbworld's service, are just much too small for appreciation! He sent me a few high-resolution ones, and I picked out my favorites and optimized them and posted them.

Ah, I love the W215. It's such a beautiful car!

All of them, as much as I can...
Car looks great!
If we ever get together, I'll have to give you a pair of "silver coated" amber signal bulbs. Gets rid of that amber tint on the top of the headlamps.

V, the car looks 5 years newer with the mods. Before it looked kinda old... and ugly.... could have been mistaken for a C230.... or even a 190E.... Now? well.... it almost looks like a CL65. :p
Seriously man, I like all the updates. Nice low-key subdued look.... very nicely done...
Couldn't have done it better myself.

Frigin ABC pretty much gave out under a stress test at the dealership and it dropped like an inch and a half literally overnight! Unrelated, I know, but thought the timing was laughable. I'll put more about the problem in the ABC light thread.
