Have you thought of any aero kit changes...I think the CL kit from Carlsson would look hot...

CL kit from Carlsson

As is...still a fantastic looking ride!

The purple "Lars" CL posted on this site has me thinking about a kit but for now I think I will ride as is.

Looks much better, although I wouldn't quit my day job to be a photographer if I were you... :p man, what the hell half the pictures are like some concrete wall... are you trying to be artistic?

Car looks great. Carlsson body kit is old... it is for a non-AMG CL, and to me there is only one kit that looks good on the CL other than the factory AMG kit.... that is Kleemann (which is what Lars has). But it is very expensive, and I would not put it on a CL that already has an AMG kit. I would do it if I had a standard CL.

I think your car looks great as is... hoenstly... I wouldn't touch another thing... its beautiful.

proform...your car looks good the way it is. I totally agree with AMG2GO and stick with the AMG kit. Are those 20's and how low did you lowered it. Mine are 20's and I am rubbing like crazy even with the car raised up.

Mayby I should try taking the pictures before I break into the Coors Light . Yes they are 20's but I do not have any rubbing issues at all...I think the wheels are 20x10 in the back.

The car came with adjustable front linkage....The arm is in 2 peices and you just loosen the nut to colapse the bracket to lower it and seperate the peices to raise it....Only took about 10 minutes.

The lowering links sound like my Lorinsers.

I have some advce for you... that wheel is about to be discontinued. If you bend one, and you very well might as it is a 20", you will have to buy 4 new wheels. I would buy a 5th and keep it for just in case, buy a front as you will most likely bend that one, and you can change the hub and make it a rear since is a multi-piece.

and yeah... photos first, coors light second. If you are driving a CL you may want to upgrade from Coors Light to something a little higher-end... :p

apdesign, I still think your wheel offsets maybe incorrect... they say its "right" at Asanti, but what exactly are they? we can judge for ourselves what "right" is.

Its happened to me at least 3 times... you buy aftermarket wheels, bend one beyond repair, and when you need another they don't make it anymore. So you throw away 3 perfectly good wheels and buy 4 new ones. It sux. Now I always buy a 5th when I know they are about to be discontinued. Even if you sell the car its good to give the owner a spare.
