My friend's CL550

Hey guys,

Here is my buddy's CL550 with new shoes....22" Modulare M16 wheels in a brushed finish with black accents and chrome lip. I think it's a sharp color combination. What do you guys think?

Whatever there's gas in...
Looks good! Needs to be lowered, it looks like it'd be eye level with an ML550.

Good Catch.

Innocent question; Do you get the AMG badge with the CL550 markings when you order the AMG kit as a factory option? At least he didn't change the CL550 badge??

Car looks nice but please tell him to take that AMG badge off. If a Cl63 or 65 pulls up next to him lol umm he would be forced to take a seat and applaud..
