Hello Chris,

I have a 2000 CL500, and I want to know if the front "clear" light fits directly or if you have to make an adaptation?

What is the "effort" that you prceise on your site for the Comand 16x9 APS in place of the Comand 2.5?

Thanks, and nice project, and give us pictures.

You have to redo some cables in back of the light.

Dont understand question number 2?

alainchich

Chris,

As seen in your website

"C3. Comand 2.0 16:9 for S-Class and CL W220 (99-03)
Article number: MM004
PRICE INCLUDES INSTALL AND MATERIAL. Comand APS 2.0, 16:9-display and CD-reader.

This comand arrived whitin the facelift of 2003 on W220 and W215. To install this one in older cars than 2003, some extra effort is prefered."

Yes it is quite difficult...And you need expensive wood parts.

Chris....looking good so far. Can't wait to see the final pictures. Please make sure you post it. Kleemann rear bumper looks very nice...don't know about the Kleemann front thou, I was debating back then to go for Kleemann but didn't see many Silver one in person and sticked to the Carlson and Wald...and now to AMG. Have you seen LARS Kleeman in dark purple...it just look flawless. Nice choice of rims too. Lower it maybe and it'll look

Chris Sweden

Thanx..

Yes Lars K is a bussiness partner....That paint is my favorite...I dont like the front eighter..But I have som mods planed for it to make it more modern and make it more in my taste...The rims are not final..I have them till I get the ones I planed on. The lowering kit is waiting for the real rims to be fitted for a perfekt lowering.

onelightmind

good

Chris Sweden

AMG Sideskirts mounted. Looks more wide in real life than captured in this pic.

Chris Sweden

Latest mods.Kleemann back, AMG sides and lowered. I have these wheels till I get the ones I really want. Only the front left to do now.

This is one of the best threads I've seen in this forum.

I really like how the car's rear end turned out. The exhaust outlets are a very modern and stylish setup without being overly done like the vertical staggered IS-F exhaust tips.

I would love to see more pictures of the finished project!

My painted Kleemann front. I painted the parts I dont like with the Kleemann front in black. Think it looks more agressive like that.

apdesign

So you decided to go for the Kleemann front after all. Great call on painting the front...it totally looks more aggressive. Can't wait to see the final finish piece. Please post more pictures.

Chris Sweden

Took some new pics. All is mounted now.



Added the US sidemarker in clear glas. We dont have them over here and I like them alot.





Facelift frontlights in place.



Closeup on the wheels that I didnt like for starters but actually love now when it is all finnished.







Brutal look from beind...

Jelious?

The wheels are Milano M724S's.

Here is a link to the Mandrus Stuttgart Wheels.

They look great on the car.

Chris Sweden

I didnt go with Stutgard since I didnt like them on the CL.

BlownV8

I agree with your choice. The Milano wheels look much nicer on your CL n the Mandrus Stuttgart wheels. The choices you made have really transformed your car.

wease206

love that i have just one question for you this is a 2000 right did you have to swap out the front bumper. i know the back direct fit. but the front is it a direct fit too. here is a picture of my car can you tell me would mine fit or i have a swap it out

otoupalik

The front Bumper fits over the 2003 facelift OE bumper, it is not a full bumper replacement.

Thanks to Chris for clarifying that.

thanks
