^^ brabus monoblock VI. They are all over this forum and there are sponsers here that sell replicas... Just ordered my set from www.oewheelsllc.com (in the vendor directory) for my w203. Great looking wheel for the c/clk IMO.

New pictures of the car. I might lower it, but my driveway is already bad.

I say a slight drop would help it. I like what you did with the roof. I think that the wheels, while not awful like many others I've seen, could perhaps be replaced with something that better compliments the lines of the car.

also since you painted the roof, maybe smoking the turn signals on your tail lights would tie the car together.

Your car's not originally silver? I would have painted the rails that run along the side of the roof black as well. Overall, I like the car!

I didnt paint the roof. i had it wrapped to see what it looks like. Im gonna do the rails when i paint it. my car is silver. I would have smoked the tails, but I like it when the 5-0 doesnt pull me over for nonesense.

I like the roof. I vote that you paint it. I was just asking if your car was silver from the factory, which I don't think it is. From the factory, the side-rails on the roof are black, but most body shops will paint those with the rest of the car. Also, aren't the bumper strips darker than the rest of the car from the factory?

Roof side-rails are body-colored on all CLK-s.
Bumper and door strips are darker/different color only on pre-facelift models.
Facelift models came color-coded from factory.

Yes, you are right, thats my next thing. Now its -4,x at back and -3 in front. I have to rise the back a bit to install camber arms. There I can dial it out a bit.
In front I already have camber bolts, there i have to modify the undercarriage. But im happy with the front, only rear end needs a lil work.

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I'm not as familiar with the nuances, as my CLK was my first car. I always assumed that the body shop that painted my car was just too lazy to tape off the roof side rails.

Your car looks amazing. Every time I look at this thread I miss my CLK so much. I would love to have it back!

Not the nicest backdrop, but here is a pic of a 2002 CLK 430 I just bought and tuned for my girlfriend. Eibach springs, bilstein HD shocks, 19 Merc knockoffs, Singh Autosport software, cat-back exhaust. Running #1 pad in the rear, but installing #3 to lift it a bit more in the rear to even it out. Clear corners on order. And probably need a small spacer in the rear.

Nice setup! Can you elaborate on what kind of suspension and wheel/tire setup you have on that car?

Thanks! Suspension is Eibach with Bilstein Heavy Duty (not the stiffer Sport) shocks. Spring pads are #3 in the rear and I believe #3 in the front. It rides incredible; firm but not harsh. Wheels are Mercedes CLS 55 knockoffs; 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Not exactly sure of the offset - need to look on the inside of the wheel.

I ordered a rear camber kit to get the camber to -2.0 degrees; it is -3.25 degrees now. Also needs a small spacer in the rear; about 10mm to 12mm depending on how far the camber kit pushes the wheel towards the fender.
