Look great the way it is but can't wait to see the results.

Btw: your 65 is the only one I've seen without distronic

Yeah..But kind of happy it didnt have that as all facelift bumper have the holes so I can use the holes for the old sensors instead of covering up the holes. But I will install the distronic as well of course. Love using it. One of the things on the to do list.

The stitching on the door panel reminds me of Bentley Continental Gt Mulliner. Looks like a fully loaded CL 65 that was previously owed by Zlatan Ibrahimović. Chris The Swede, a man of exquisite taste!

330 Views and only 17 comments so far, LOL. I can see Chris The Swede laughing in Swedish. Seriously guys, let's encourage this dude by contributing more to his thread. This will compel him to do more and this will be beneficial to this forum.

Sure is true...But it also looks like it is very few CL owners on here compared to for example W221 owners where I got BIG responses on that Project. Just glad anyone follows it...

And being rare also means it will be a bit more expansive to do than the W221 or R230 since parts are so har to find if not new.
