Not sure about the interior . So har to find the leather exclusive that it has now in other collors. If I find it in the same colors like in my S550 I would concider it. Nav is already updated with latest birdview option. I will go with other Wheels since i LOVE Deep dish.

Chris I was wondering if you can help me with a few mods questions that I've been considering for my 2008 cl63

1. Does the 2011+ steering wheel, air bag and controls bolt right up?
2. What all is needed to swap out for the newer head unit? I was in a 2013 c250 and the new comman screen display colors look amazing. Do the 2011+ CL cars share the same layout?
3. I noticed on your s500 build, the new tailights had the white parts of the lenses tinted. Is there a CL tailight that I can get that is similar?
4. I also liked the stereo update you did to the 550. Is there something just like that I can find for my CL? What year car should I source the parts from?

Thank you in advance!

Hello!
1. No. Wont work.
2. Not possible. Or VERY complicated and expensive just to get split vision and mini SD reader.
3. No aftermarket items at all is made for W216.
4. This is just a telematics update you get at your local MB dealer. Just ask for the latest version and latest maps and you get birdview. Same as W221.

I love the wheels, great interior color as well, i agree the new CL headlights look much more aggressive, the facelift should make a huge difference----your car looks BADASS! keep up the great work.

Thanks for the info Chris. For number 4 I was talking about the stereo speaker, amps and sub upgrade that you did to the s550.

Can't wait to follow this.

The interior diamond cross-titching on the 65s is to die for!

Is this something I can find for my CL as well? What year did this option start? 2011?

I am located in Sweden so shipping outside of Europe of bigger parts is a killer.

Crazy project Chris. Can't wait to see more. The 65 AMGs are some of my favorite cars and you've got a unique interior.

Any plans for BO sound in the CL?
