And I have NOT done any interior change. Even though I realy want what Anton28 shows here.

This conversion of front,mirrors and rear parts is about $10000 inc paint.
I think you forget one thing. You can not put a price on the satisfaction of having a unique car that you have created yourself.

That is much less costly than I had imagined. I admit, I did no research before asking. For some reason, I was under the impression that these parts would costs thousands and thousands more.

Thanks for replying. This is actually much more reasonable than I expected, and I like what you are doing even more now.


Thanks again!

Yeah I'm not sure why I had this crazy number in mind, but its pretty great that the upgrade could be done in 10k.

Actioncamera is the type of camera it is and not a description of the clip.

I'm kidding with you. The quality was really good. How is it otherwise Chris? Have you had a good summer?

It has been a very good summer. We took a road trip to Norway with my SL500 1600 Km in 4 days and 4 cities. Then we decided that we need to order suitcases available to my SL500.

Looking forward the future of your projected.
Good luck

So I gotta ask about the solar panels. Kyocera??

I assume this is at your house. Is this atypical in your country?

Hi Chris!
It looks wonderful. It's has clean lines. Think if you could take away the doorhandes to? That would look nice. Like a TWR that has a button in the side mirror. The only ting that I not really like is the size of the rims. I know that you love BIG rims, but I think they are 1 or 2 sizes to big. They take over the wonderful lines of the car. You just look at the rims. Chris, can't you do a video of your car like a US carseller do on the web? Make a tour of your car, inside and out.
Best regards
Mikael

No! The rims are perfect just a little big. if you look at the hole car. If you put something like rims that look chromed spider webs it could destroy the hole concept. I've just looked at your CL. Nice. The problem with your rims and some other AMG rims is that 9 of 10 Audi owners in Sweden has something similar. Audis rims looks like AMG rims

It's ugly period. Ghetto. A CL should NEVER look like that. People probably make fun of him when they see him in the street. Tasteless poser.

Yeah call me hater lol, you're right I envy this guy so much because he bought a 5 years old CL and tried to make it look like a 2012, while, I'm getting rid of my 5 years CL and sell it to get the real deal.

Like srsly, most of the people that think the same thing as me are not going to say it out and loud because they don't want to seem like a$sholes, but I don't care. This is just pathetic.

You living in a dream world like the ladies in your pictures. You dreaming that its your lady and your CL is the best. Dream on sucker. Wait a minute. I looked at which cars you drive. A Smart. It's worse than a Prius. Excuse me, I just saw that you also had a Toyota too. Take your money and buy a CL 2013 if you think it will help. You will still be a loser, but in a very nice car

I did notice you had a Brabus version of this...



The only thing "smart" about one of these would be the decision to sell it!!

But like you, we're all entitled to our own opinions...even if they are wrong!

Smart car is very good for NYC. My 'toyota' is very good for the winter' My 5yr CL is retiring after I put 80k miles in a year on it. My new car? I can tell you for sure it won't be 5 years old and I won't try to make it look newer.

Living a dream? Yes I am. I live the life you can't ever have.

Have a great night, losers.
