Hi!

I've recently bought my second Mercedes (I'm more a BMW guy but who could not love both brands?), it's a mid 2007 CL 500. It was ordered brand new with Brabus front bumper and side skirts, Brabus 20" and Brabus lowering. I don't know why the rear bumber from Brabus wasn't ordered as well, the previous (and original) owner installed a AMG rear bumber, but I like it anyway. I love the color (Germanite Gray)! The interior is standard (black with standard wood, no special leather option) and the main equipements/options are present (Distronic Plus, Keyless Go, NightAssist...) so I'm very happy with it. I'm a bit disapointed in the lack of informations (technical informations, I work myself on my cars) I can find on the Internet about the CLs, but I'll find more reading W211 S class pages I suppose. Here are a few pictures.

Edit : Oh, It was my 1st post here after years of reading!

 

such a beautiful looking car!! here I thought Barbus was an aftermarket co.!! lol

 

Sweet!

Enjoy it man.

 

Thanks guys.

Yes Brabus is aftermarket, but at Luxembourg Mercedes center, there were an office specialised with Brabus and other hi-end tuning so the 1st owner could deal that with them. I suppose the parts were not installed from factory, but by the Luxembourg shop when they received it.

 

You can use the W221 for a good frame of reference. It will be almost the same. You will just have to adapt for the minutia for the intricate work, i.e. trim removal, which isn't like that of the W221. Other than that they are basically set up the same.
