W216 CL63 AMG
My CL (and very first MB)

Hello dudes and dudettes!

I have posted in the new members section but I thought I'd post in the CL AMG specific forum as well. ;-)
I've just bought my very first Mercedes, a CL 63 AMG and I'm very excited.
Owned it for about a month now and I still get that happy feeling every time I get in it.
Right now it's totally stock and will probably run that way until spring since I don't want to expose anything new to the harsh Swedish winter.
The are several things I want to do with the car and I'm hoping I can rely a bit on you guys from some tips and tricks. ;-)

Any ways, happy to be a part of the MB community!

They look like Vossen's CV3's but I might be wrong

Finally gotten around to take some pictures with better lighting.
Again, the car is currently completely stock. Luckily there's a very experienced MB owner less than a hours drive from me and I'm hoping I can get some tips from him on how to make it look a bit more aggressive. :-)

Very nice!

Congrats IMO your CL63 is both beautiful and adequately aggressive looking. IMO leave it alone because it's both better looking and will "take out" nearly everything out there.

Well the mods I'm currently planning are kind of subtle. :-)
First I want a carbon diffuser, just because I think it looks nicer than the stock grey one.
Next up is a front spoiler, preferably in black but I might go carbon.
Last I want a small trunk spoiler but it's problematic finding one which is subtle enough for my taste.
I want that aggressive look without messing up the already pleasing aesthetics of the car. :-)

Just added welcome-lights with the AMG logo. Some might hate them but I think they're nice.
Sorry for the shoddy image quality (phone camera).

Rear deck spoiler

Same; wouldn't mind a subtle rear trunk spoiler.

Right you are, sir! :-)
Took a bit of looking around since I wanted to avoid that circle around the logo. But Ebay has everything these days. :-)

really? not a fan of the circle? I thought I was getting more for my money that way, although I do like the one you have too because of the AMG signage
notice your car has no illuminated door sills? that would look so nice on such a car!

Planning to get those at some point but when I do I'll revert back to normal welcome-lights, but with LED instead of the normal bulb.
Illuminated door sills AND the AMG light seems a bit cheesy. ;-)
