Talking Photoshoot CL55 W/Mods with DSLR Nikon






















I Just finished the manual Intercooler pump mod, so I can turn it on and off at will. That's great.

Shardul hooked me up with a set of these beautiful pulleys, and I'll be doing a How To thread over at PSC.





Smoked the headlights in these photos, ever so slightly, and the 3rd brake light. Other bits include no fog lamps, M5 decklid, and blackout badges.

Ordered the 5.5 AMG badges to see if I like them, in the same style of the OEM 6.3 badge.

Overall I'm keeping the lines clean and smooth. I have 2 different new grilles on order, the first being the stock SL63 grille (to match my SL63 wheels)
The other is the same as the one on the car now, just no star..Like the E55AMG. So I'll do a comparison test/photo shoot to see which one stays on the car. Looking forward to that!

Shadowline trim is in the mail to, so the chrome surrounding the doors will be black soon.

You can find more installs/how to's on the PSC forums.

Yeah in photo 5 the suspension was in the maximum raised position unfortunately, but I liked the photo anyways. All the other pics is it in the normal driving position.
Never really been a fan of lowered cars, in LA the roads are super rough, and I have to drive with it in the position raised ride height.

Meh this thread doesn't need a poser commenting as MBWorkd has plenty of posers to begin with.

Plenty of users do their own photo shoot thread.
Kind of interesting we haven't seen a photoshoot of your parent's car????
Also kind of interesting how you continuously pick on someone who does their actual own work whereas you don't do any yourself.

You're dying to see my car - it's a fact. I truly appreciate the adulation, thanks for your interest, honestly. You'll adore if and when I do. But I'm not taking requests here Moosemouth.
Poser now too? How'd you come up with that.
Stop bsing, you know it's my car. Why would my 50 yo father want carbon fiber rims and an SLR shift knob with a custom widebody wrapped in satin red? Loser.

I would suggest powder coating the heat exchanger and getting a CF lip
