WTF is going on with this crap??? Wow...fat/ugly wives not puttin out or what? Why all the hate? Stop by the local nuddie bar on the way home and get teased or something... cheer up guys.
Little pee pee needs to prove a point? downforce...
Neal (kneel, neel) was ASKED to make the part as a group buy...as a whim part that does nothing...UNDERSTOOD??
It's a screwed on part that is cosmetic...duh. Like lipstick...not functional at all like a lap band or breast implants (debatable)
Me <----31, happy
and I'm perfectly ok with carbon trinkets that do nothing... to top all the bs; there is a good chance it won't fit my s65 but at least I get to rib a few time/space wasters (like myself)
Thanks for making this happen Neal. We all appreciate you and your work. I am happy adding a few #s to my car to "look cool"
better than a fat wife...or big burger...
Sorry guys had to
...and yes unfounded a$$ hole remarks are very childish. I am sorry IF I offended anyone. All remarks were meant in the lightest of manners...aka salads, low carb ect ect. Long knight <---K haha (sp?)
Can not weight to see the first on roll off the line

While we're on the topic of F1 aerodynamics and race teams, check out this silly CL65 AMG being driven by the Stig... http://youtu.be/6gtKjf6ARJo
And yes the car does handle a bit like a boat around the track, notice how perfectly the AMG Active Body Control keeps it absolutely flat, no matter what the Stig does to it.

Hey Guys, sorry for the delay on the update! I was away for 2 days for the holiday weekend, and I was swamped with work today! I left the office at 11pm. The first diffuser is done!!!!!!!!!!! Attached are pics..... Sorry the pics are not fancy or anything. It looks great! I drove 1 hour today to a friend of mine at a Mercedes dealer who said he had a CL55 there, so i went there to hold it up to the car to make sure everything lined up ok, and it appeard to be perfect! We will be sending this diffuser out in the AM (Tuesday morning) to Ken for the actual test fit. I will overnight it, or do 2nd day to speed up the process, so he should have it Wednesday or Thursday the latest. Once we get the ok from him, I will have the rest of the 9 diffusers completed to ship in 2 weeks.
Back side......
Bolts on each side getting attached with resin/fiberglass putty.
Not like it matters, but the part is very light. Not even close to 1lb. Its only a few ounces.

Neal,
The diffuser looks great. I'm glad its light weight. I did have a concern that it may have been heavy and affect performance by weighing the rear down too much.
It also looks like it may create some positive downforce. You did do some wind tunnell testing didn't you before proceeding to make the final mould?

guys, this diffuser is for cosmetic look only just like when we add new rims or a new paint job to our car. the cl55/65 is not design to be a race car and the diffuser is not going to make a different in performance.

The # of the diffusers shipped will be at random. We are not going by an order anymore for many reasons.
1. The list of people on the list is not accurate with the order in which they paid.
2. People were requesting different #s they want, making it impossible to determine what is left, because that would then take us out of any order we would follow in the first place.
The # of the diffuser is not a big deal, they are numbered for production reasons and to verify authenticity. Once it is on the car, you will never see the # anyway unless you stick your head under the car.

Neal,
It sounds like you are sending them out as to who paid first etc. ? That sounds fine, being I was one of the last to sign up ! Ha !
I did pay right off though and I don't need to see how Ken's fits up, I am sure you have them right. I'll take mine whenever ! You can send it now ! Thanks !
