Still Loving my CL55

Literally just got my CL55 back from www.aides******** for what is likely the final performance mod for my car. Just had the Kleemann Super Sport Camshafts installed. AI Design located the last existing pair of Kleemann Cams for any 55 and just upgraded the beast!

...should also mention that I had the MBH high flow cats installed as well... now I'll be able to pass emissions. Also had the UPD arms removed as they made way too much noise on the back end of the car.

Notice in your sig that you have lighted AMG sills. Can you post a pic and info on where you got them? Many thanks in advance.

You know, for that matter, I'd like to see pics of all of your car: the interior, engine bay, etc. If you have time and the inclination, I'm sure others would like to see as well.

Yep. I used the original OEM chrome sills and had my auto shop cut out a rectangle and insert some after market AMG lights. They are blue.

Nice. Sills are in beautiful condition too. Most are scratched all to hell.

Thanks. I bought new sills when I got the car and then had them modified as you see in the pic. Bought the car as the 2nd owner in 2011 w/ 32k miles. Fast forward to now, 9 years later and it only has 38k miles. Besides all the performance mods, I replaced many other cosmetic pieces and parts, so it looks brand new inside and out.

It is a beauty for sure. Be glad you bought the new sills. Can't get them anymore, not even from Germany. These things are chrome plated aluminum, so refinishing is very difficult. I'm having mine redone. Don't ask how much it's costing me. Many, more times than they cost new.
