Official CLK Picture Thread
This is the "Official" CLK Picture Thread. Please post all pictures of your CLK's, this is better than browsing all the different websites looking for CLK pictures and going to all the different galleries and clicking on each picture and hitting the back button! It will be nice to just come here and scroll down the page. Also please only post pictures of your CLK, it doesn't matter if you own a 320, 430, 55, or even some custom one! Let's try and keep this thread mainly pictures, and if you have a question about someones CLK that you see please PM them.
Thanks, and let the picture posting begin! |
I guess I'll go first....

it still needs a body kit but I have had 3 different set of wheels on this and to me these Lowenhart LD1's take the cake. It also has a 7" panasonic flip screen dvd up front , two monitors in each head rest and PSII. I know its only a 430 but that was the best they had in 00' , but my other car is a 02 M3 if any of you 55 guys wanna go.
P.S. this ones for sale in june when my new sl arrives, first 50K takes it. |

Beautiful car, Ahmed. Is that Obsidian Black? Very nice wheels, too.
|
Ahmed- Sweet ride, my friend. Those rims are great- are they amg? What size?
Benzo |
Benzo; Do you ever actually take your $70K Range Rover off road, or are those brush guards just for looks like I suspect they are on most SUV's? I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I'm just curious if Range Rover owners actually use these cars for what they were designed.
Don't get me wrong--I don't generally like SUVs, but I love Range Rovers. If I had to get an SUV in any price range, I'd get the newest Rover I could afford. I have a friend in Newport Beach, CA who has something like a '90. Sweet car..er..SUV. PS: I wouldn't take mine off road! |
Hello Benzo.... thanks!
Those rims are AMG Monoblock 2 piece SL Design Front: 18 x 8.5 ( 235/40/ZR18 ) Rear: 18 x 9.5 ( 265/35/ZR18 ) |

Ahmed, your baby's color is awesome!!! What color is she???? The wheels are off the hook also. Kinda look like mine!! I have 18x8 (f) and 18x10(r). I'll post mine after I lower it.

Ahmed,
That is the nicest designo I've seen yet. Beautiful! |
Benzo, I forgot you could use SUV's to pull boats and other heavy objects. Good point! Have fun with the truck. It's a shame that these vehicles cannot be taken off road more (at least not unless you have multiple Range Rovers!), since they're so expensive and nice
|
Ahmed
NICE. Do you have PARKTRONIC? |

Another welcome!
Very unique car (at least to us U.S. folks - we have limited options for colors). I had to look your country up - wow, this forum is Global! Is there really a causeway that connects your country to Saudi Arabia? |

LOL !!!
Yes there is... indeed there is. And it's a quite a work of art!! It's 25 km long! Bahrain is an island about 700 sq km. and has a population of just over 600,000! And ALOT of CLK's !!!! I just visited the dealers this morning and had the privilage of sitting and cranking a brand new 2002 CLK 240! IT SUCKED !!! There was nothing that striked me about it..... I'd give it a 7 compared to the 10/10 of the W208 |
Ahmed, is the new W209 a 2002 model year car over there??? It's a model yr 2003 over here !! And I agree with you, the car looks awful. That's why I went ahead and got my '02 CLK 430. Hopefully in 3 Yrs, they would have worked out the kinks and added a bit more aggresive cosmetics to the car. Right now, it looks like a car that you would put a Tux on for and then go eat dinner at a posh restaurant or something. If there is no "aggressive" cosmetic change in the near future, then I'll get the 2005 CLK 550 AMG.
By the way, why don't people know Bahrain ???? It's only the 2 or 3rd RICHEST COUNTRY in the world per capita / population !! Come on guys, did you skip 7th grade Geography or 12th grade World history??? Or better yet, have you bought any petrol (gas) lately????? Hint, Hint,.... !!!!!! Ahmed, let us know when you get the CL or SL!! |
1 Attachment(s)
The W209 is a 2002 model. It's here and and it's azuri blue with light cream interior. The worse thing about it was that thing that creeped up behind my shoulder when I started the car. I thought MB got rid of that, but I guess it's back! ( I'm talking about that seatbelt thing) It scared the hell outa me!
The CL is too mature for me. And the SL... well... let's just say that i'm not ready to spend that kind of cash right now! I'm attaching some pics of the interior. The reason why i was reluctant to post them was because the camera i used was realy bad and the lighting was'nt that great either, so these pics don't do justice to the actual color and contours. But hey, what the heck huh, anything for my benz buddies! |

I would love to see the russian version- I have heard that they have some amazing combinations- very exotic. Anyone have pics? it seems like they offer way more like tota interior change from seats to door panels i saw few, they were very sweet and the prices were much better. lorinser lm1 19 " in chrome would cost about 800 dollars each where in US they start at 1050 i guess it is eazier to import more variety car to other states then to US i dont think thats fair to think how many benzos they sell in US Ahmed i like that shift knob its tight also Ahmed ya'll bumb 2pac in middle east???? |
Sweet color Ahmed, I want it!! I originally was going to purchase a designo CLK which was similar to yours but it seemed to change colors from different angles and had 2 tone purple and charcoal seats. It was a 2001 and I was all set to buy it till I realized the car didnt have a damn sunroof :eek: but anyways this post isnt about me rather than congratulating you on a beautiful car!

And Ahmed, i also live in Bahrain, i was just wondering how many B.Ds did the CLK 55 cost you? |
hey howard,
which car do you enjoy driving more? clk or nsx? |
Originally posted by Mark D. hey howard, which car do you enjoy driving more? clk or nsx? That's a tough question to answer. If it's nice out, the NSX is the car! Both are fun.....but different. The CLK rides better since the NSX is prepped for the track. I think I'll go home early and drive the NSX!! As long as there's 3 letters in the car name it's good. CLK, NSX, 911, C32,E55...... |

Your monoblocks CLKfanDB
1 Attachment(s)
OK, I have a 430 and have the opportunity to get Kleemann 18"x8.5 front and 18"x9.0 rear at a similar price to AMG Monoblocks. However. I doo like the chunky look of the AMG's and can't decide what to get:confused:
CLKfanDB, have you got a side on pic of your car? Might help me decide! What do you think guys? AMG Mono's style II or Kleemann 5 spokes similar to these 19" ones in this picture of a W209. Please help me decide;) |
I personally like the AMG's better.
IMO, the chunky look of the AMG's appeal to me more...these Kleemann rims look too complicated, the AMG's are simple and clean.
|
AMG v. Kleemans
Big mistake fudger!! You are comparing apples with oranges when you try to compare wheels on a w208 and w209. Don't forget that the 208 has a more musculer and aggressive appeal; therefore the "clean" look of the AMG's work well. As opposed to the 209 which is very "sleek" and "feminine" (no pun intended ladies) It needs something to make it more aggressive, therefore the Kleemans look better on the 209's.
Personally, I would go for the AMG's. The Kleeman's on a 208 will definately look too busy!! My 2cents !!! Dont spend it all in one place !! |
Your absolutely right of course. The W209 is a different car and much more feminine. The AMG's, as you sad, seem to go well with the W208 which is why I favour them too.
The reason for my indecision was purely cost as I can get the Kleemanns for the same price as the AMG's through a friend as a one off special favour. Next week the offer won't be there. I do wonder of the 19" AMG's are too big for the W208! My head tells me to get 18's my heart the 19's. Stop it........must go 18" :rolleyes: |
18" v. 19"
Good decision!! I replaced my stock 17" AMG's with 18" OZs. The advice I got from the "wheel & tire" forum (or what ever that forum is called) was to stay away from 19's. Big problem with front rubbing. Unless you are ready to do a lot of adjustements.
Enjoy you AMGs !!! |

Clear Tail Lights !
Nice cars eyceburg11!! Do you have pics of the clear tail lights??? Please post if you do. Also, what are the trophies for??
|
DapperBNZ
Thanks for the comments. They are clear brake lights, not clear tail lights. The trophy's are from import car shows I go to. That picture was taken about a year ago. It was my first show and I got those tropy's. One for Best Euro Concept and the other for Best Mobile Entertainment.

You have niceee rides. I noticed you are a student. If u don't mind me asking.. where do you get your cash flow from? Every car you have is sick with tons of mods. yokomo |

Yet another car

Didn't notice any cars with the DTM style wheels, so here's mine. They are Carlsson RS 18x8 and 18x9, don't think they're made anymore. Anyway I'm selling my car so if anyone is interested, drop me a note. I just got everything checked up at the dealer. It has every option, including telephone, except for the xenon/headlight washer/heated seats (I forget which K package that was). Oh it's a '99 w/ 58k miles.
Edit: Suspension is H&R sport springs and Bilstein shocks. |

actually the rims are 19's made by Axis, but i forget the exact model number. i didn't like them at first, but they grew on me.... i had to decide between these, the brabus V's, and the lorinser lm-5's. |

Thanks! Id say the pictures make them look a bit small, also my car hasnt been lowered yet, so that also makes the rims look smaller. I am painting my calipers on Saturday, and getting the suspension, then the rims will be PERFECT! Can't wait to see it. What color are you painting your calipers? Mine are red. |

Originally posted by Petie for now i am going to use plasic bags, newspaper, tape, and spraypaint, if i dont like it, im going to touch it up with brush on instead of laboring for hours to paint it. This is just a temporary deal as i may not have my car for as long as i had planned. Im also smoking my tail lights i believe this weekend. But it looks like a '02 CLK55 is in my near future, cant turn that down! well if you do use spray just make sure its neat, i have seen some half ass crappy jobs with spray, so just do it good. Oh and whats wrong? The 430 is not fast enough for u?:p j/k you can never have enough power. :) |
Originally posted by BlackC230Coupe then forget the brakes period! and get the CLK55 already!:D well if you do use spray just make sure its neat, i have seen some half ass crappy jobs with spray, so just do it good. Oh and whats wrong? The 430 is not fast enough for u?:p j/k you can never have enough power. :) No the 430 is not fast enough.....fast, but i like acceleration that scares me when i punch it, haha. Put the pulleys, headers, exhaust (minus i a couple but oh i love that eisenmann rumble), and when i get another car, ill save up some money and put a Kleemann on the 55, because i wont have to drive it every day....so now you know my plans....:) |

Viktorious, what kind of modifications did they do to fit those 19" CL AMG's in your car. I spoke with Luke@Tirerack, and he told that they don't fit the CLK because the ofset and fitment is different.:)
|
Hey Viktorious
Where did you get the black 3-pointed Star enblem on your trunk? Is that a custom job (I noticed your front grill is black too) or did you buy the black star? I started a thread a few months ago about black emblems and hood ornaments. Somebody said that a Lorinser shop in Hong Kong had them, but my sis couldn't find it when she visiting HK last month! I'm toying with the idea of putting a black hood ornament, black CLK 430 and black star emblems on my black 01 430. By the way, love your rims! |

question about your K&N Filter
Originally posted by Gizmo Sweet color Ahmed, I want it!! I originally was going to purchase a designo CLK which was similar to yours but it seemed to change colors from different angles and had 2 tone purple and charcoal seats. It was a 2001 and I was all set to buy it till I realized the car didnt have a damn sunroof :eek: but anyways this post isnt about me rather than congratulating you on a beautiful car! How do you like your K&N Filter. Do you think it added horsepower? |
thanks James55.. I'll try to post some pics of my bro's 911 GT3 later on.. especially for you my friend!;)
As for the filter, I would'nt really know if it added HP's, I haven't really timed the prformance before and after! All I know for a fact is that the very initial throttle response has improved. I can feel the initial pull a bit more. I dont know about US Spec 320's, but I've managed to get to 100 kph in just under 7 seconds, and clocked a top speed of 250 kph. maxing out at 5000 rpm. But the best thing about it is the sound! When stationary, I floor the pedal just a little and it whistles like a turbo! And when driving, it sounds like a true german beast! I recommend the K&N Filter, it lets ur benz engine breeeeeeeeeeeeeeth! |

blackbaby, the reflection on your clk window looks AWESOME!
|
that looks real nice
-Bruce |
thx Bruce.. It was everything that you had introduced me to F1 motorsports.
Anyway, when are you going to post your new pictures with new rims? |
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
Is that a reflection or an actual silver tint? Whichever, the car looks daaaaaaaaaamn fine! |
Honestly, I don't know. I just had re-tinted my window and they look like mirror tinting (gives the reflection) at daytime and just look normal black at night time.
I didn't intentionally bought this film to look like mirror tinting... The window gets darker and gives more reflection as sun shines. |
Black
Your car looks awsome! |
Originally posted by BlackBaby thx Bruce.. It was everything that you had introduced me to F1 motorsports. Anyway, when are you going to post your new pictures with new rims? -Bruce |
Man, Black Baby
THose 19" Lorinsers look sick! I don't usually mod my rides, but maybe I'll start shopping for some 19" rims. Did you lower your car? Mike |
Don't like my car, braincuttermd??? :D :D
Actually, I was going to sell those rims, but no one wanted... so I just put them onto my car. It looks nice, though I like LM-5 better. If you are shopping for 19" rims, go for Lorinser LM-5 or Brabus V Multipiece. And YES, I did lowered my car by 2 inches w/ H&R sport springs. I have bought Lorinser scoop and spoiler, and will be installed within couple weeks. I will post some pictures later when everything is done. I am looking to buy Lorinser front spoiler, but they are DAMNNNNN expensive.... Hope someone can sell theirs for $1K |
You should definitely keep the LM1s on your car. They look amazing. I went online looking at prices on them and man, they are expensive!
Yeah, I love the Lorinser front airdam too. I always thought that the AMG front for the CLK was a bit plain. Did you also change the shocks, or just springs? How did your ride change? I swapped out the stock springs for eibachs on a BMW 5-series back in the days and the ride suffered (too bouncy) without a noticeable improvement in handling. What's the Lorinser scoop? For the 430 cab, I like the speedster tonneau cover with the roll bars. They look cool. Mike |
lm1 19 chromes alwasy been my favorite and yes they are expensive
|
Yes, speedster bumper.. that is same as SCOOP. That's what they call in Lorinser website. I got that one with Lorinser rear trunk spoiler for $800. They are brand new in box too. Think I got a good deal. They are coming from CANADA...
|
Man, your car is going to look amazing when you're done.

Here's my bone stock CLK 430 2001.
|
looks very clean... :) I didn't realize that the stock CLK has that much gap between wheels and the body
|
Scrolling back and forth between my OEM springs and Ahmed's ride with the aftermarket springs (and ultra-sweet modular rims), I can totally see the huge wheel well gap in my car. The real benefit to that gap is when I'm rinsing out the road salt from the bottom of the car every 5-6 days.

If I'm not mistaken, the SL 5 spoke AMGs came in 18"s. Of course, they don't look nearly as cool as your modular rims! Mike |

This is a perfect example of the need for frequent undercarriage rinsing. This is after 3 days of driving in the salt covered roads. By the way, those are Bridgestone Blizzaks LM22 in the 245/40 17 for the rear.
|
I try not to take my car out when it's raining.
Salt!!...no way, for that kind of treatment, I'd would use my Jeep.:p |
That's ironic that you say that. I bought my Mercedes because it's a safe car and would offer that much more protection under harsh road conditions (rain and snow). If anything should happen, at least I know I'm in a safe car. Live to buy another one! :)
|
Don't get me wrong, it's just that I couldn't stand to see your car with all that salt on it.....Do you have to rinse it every day?:(
|
Yeah, it's pretty painful to look at, especially when contrasted against a black finish. It's actually not that bad in that picture. Sometimes, there's icicles hanging off the side skirts and clumps of brown/grey snow in the back of all 4 wheel wells!
I don't rinse it everyday (though I'd like to). It's so cold here in Ohio (19F) that I can't even clean it off on my driveway because the water freezes almost immediately. I have to wash it in the garage with the garage doors closed. Each week, I do a mid-week rinse with warm water for about 15 mins, concentrating on wheel-wells, under carriage and door/hood jams. On the weekends, I repeat that, but I incorporate a full soapy wash to make it nice and clean. Using luke-warm water to keep it from freezing on the body is good, but it sure does strip the wax. I had the car undercoated and the doors/hood/trunk lids treated to protect it from corrosion and I get the treatment updated every summer. Hopefully, all these measures will keep the car rust-free for a while. :) Mike |
braincuttermd, PLEASE tell me you've washed your car!!!!!!
I can't bare the thought of my car being that dirty..... I have to wash it once a week.... well almost.... |
Yep, you can rest easy (as can I). I usually keep that car clean (as demonstrated by my earlier post with pics), but in the deep of winter, it gets covered in salt and snow for a few days and do weekly washes. :)

When he ordered it, he asked for turbo look wheels, spacers, AERO KIT ( i hope i spelt it right), suede interior IVORY. He says the only difference between the carrera and GT3 is 5 HP's, suspension and brakes and some weight reductions. Well, i have learnt something new. Thought only MB's were flexible!!:p |
Actually the 2003 carrera 2 has 315hp and the GT3 has 360hp...
|
really?
even porsche modify and change their cars yearly!!! I thought Beemers and MBs were bad! :( |
I know, a 2002 Carrera 2 is rated at 320HP...
But it is still way more than the 5HP difference your brother told you. |

In full winter gear, I'm ready for the weekly wash. It didn't snow this week, but residual salt made its way onto my car. I think it was 33F in the garage, even with the door closed, with the outside temp being about 10F.
|
How about that wheel gap?
|
Post wash. It's clean, for a few more days.

I want to go too~ but I got no friends to go with. My friends don't own any Mercedes or BMW.... and none of them modified their cars..... so I am going to the bodyshop this weekend for my last mod and next weekend for the rims (hopefully).

I'll be there!:D

Do shows like these come to NYC?? The only shows I know of is the funkmaster Flex Carshow (not good last year), and the wack ass car show they have at the javits center every year. I like shows with nice cars that people hook up.

Admission is quite expensive this time, and if you're displaying your car at the show, you have to roll in on Friday (today) and leave it for the night. This show shouldn't be so boring because there's lots of activities going on.

Great thread! There are lots of nice CLK's around the world!
Here is a pic of ours. We just picked her up last week, a 1999 model with 16,000 miles. The only Mods so far are the AMG wheels and tinted windows to beat the Texas heat but hey, we have only had her a week. |

I notice another mod (probably made by the previous owner), the euro turn signal blinker on the fender. You need to meet us at the next GTG, check the Events and Gatherings from time to time. ;) |
Thanks pocholin...Looking forward to one of the GTG's! Those turn sigs are standard for '99's. MB didn't start with the turn sig's in the mirrors until 2000 from what I understand...correct me if I am wrong.
Where are the GTG's in Houston anyhow? My wife and I are probably a little too old to cruise with some of you youngsters but we'll come check it out sometime anyhow. |
You are never too old for GTG's, they are usually at the corner of westheimer and post oak, at the galeria.
I look forward to meeting you. I think those turn signals on the fenders are aftermarket, may be somebody else can verify this for us. |

How is the ride now? I was going to get this done in a few weeks, and was wondering the ride changes. Also, where did you get it? Same car, Black/Ash. |
I was expecting the ride to be harsh since i put #1 pads all around, but to my surprise, the ride didn't change very much at all. I highly recommend this setup.
I had the install done at D2 Technik in Alhambra, CA. My car is actually Black Opal/Oyster.... |

By the way, now that I've lowered my ride, a CLK at factory height just seems waaaay too high off the ground. But still, lovely car! Nice rims... much better than those hidious stock 320 wheels. |

Nice rims... much better than those hidious stock 320 wheels. yes , I think black opal is kind of special colour , I love it too :) well , recently I m thinking to lower my clk , i agree that it is a bit high from the factory height >< :( I only use those 17" amg in summer time and use the factory 16" rims in winter , since always snowing in here , i have to do so ...:( terrible weather here |

How come Supra's car has chrome window trim and mmgrad's has black ones ?!
becoz my car is canada version !? .......No. CLK 320's come with chrome window trim and CLk430's come with black window trim in North America. Just as the interior of a CLk320 is made of burlwanut trim that comes in the more expensive CL and S class while the CLk430 comes with birdseye black. I'm not sure how MB makes their decisions. I think those turn signals on the fenders are aftermarket, may be somebody else can verify this for us He's right, those turn signals were standard on the early model CLK's. ...........No, those turn signals are not aftermarket, but yes they were present in CLK's prir to 2000. AS far as I know and I know because I'm a Modaholic, there are no aftermarket fender turn signals to place anew in a CLK that did nolt have them before. Therefore, any CLK that has the fender turn signals is a 1998 or 1999 CLK even if the wheeels have been changed. Ted |

Sweet looking ride Brad... just checking, but you know those aren't Authentic Brabus rims, right? Just making sure you didn't pay more than needed...

just wondering what would be the price of the Authentic Brabus rims , i mean the same style as Brad D.'s well , if it is too expensive , i think i can't afford ..... :( thank you |
Originally posted by mmgrad Sweet looking ride Brad... just checking, but you know those aren't Authentic Brabus rims, right? Just making sure you didn't pay more than needed... The real ones have "BRABUS" forged into the metal, and cost $3000.00 a set. |

Hi and thanks Krisk. The system is telling me that my pictures are too big in size. Maybe because I used high quality on my digital camera when taking them. They must take up too much space. Is there a way that I can save them to be smaller??
|
|
yes are they .bmp or .jpg?
if you have got photo editing program plz tell me.. and if not tell me which windows you are using. |
very nice car i love it.. soo clean and black

Hey thanks for your help. I think I may have finally got it to work. I usd the link the webspace I have my pics stored at. Hopefully the pic will stay up. That's what I did the first time I tried to post the pic but it didn't work. I must have done something wrong because it's working now.
Thanks again for your help Krisk. |
THANKS, THAT'S MY BABY. I haven't done anything to it yet but black out the yellow fender lights and getting the windows tinted. I'm working on getting a set of rims as my next project.

you have the sweetest looking 208 i've seen! the others here look super but the designo purple really stands out! your 2 pc amg wheels are very nice. my little brother just bought a '98 320 and is in desperate need of dumping those factory wheels, i have now convinced him the 2 pc is the ONLY way to go imho. keep the pix coming. question: does anyone know if you can use sportline c class springs and shocks to drop a '98 clk320?? i'd rather keep his car oem as much as possible thanks peter |

Guys, not shown before but here is a UK spec 430 Avantgarde. 2000 model. Only mods being the Kleemann shocks, springs and wheels. Need some Brembo's next and then that SC.
In the UK we do not get the same body kit as the US spec cars! http://www.pound*********/mbclub-file/CNV00021.JPG Here is also a W209 Kleemann CLK 500....508hp I believe....perhaps next tme :rolleyes: http://www.pound*********/mbclub-file/CNV00029.JPG http://www.pound*********/mbclub-file/CNV00026.JPG |

Don't get me wrong, I love my W208... but this view/angle of the W209 doesn't look bad... I guess, as long as you leave the back-end of the car out of the picture, the car looks pretty clean.
|
Thanks Danny but I have moved the pics to a new FTP site as we have been having trouble with the existing for some time now :wall:.
Would like some suggestions on a good free site to use however!! Thank you. |
I disagree mmgrad I think it looks ugly in the picture you posted. The window sills are too sharp(at the end) it just doesnt look right. The rear spoiler needs to be lower for it to look good. That way it doesnt look as if it is being tipped up like a seesaw. Feel free to flame but this is my opinion.
|
krisk85, if you checked my original post, i already said, I don't like the whole back section of the car... just that from the rear wheel forward, the car look smore aerodynamic...
And as stated in my original post, I still like my W208 more. |
Sorry i miss understood it as that you dont like the view from the back, but the side view is ok.

I dont have a clk :( It is my dream car. I am trying to work and save enough for one, but being under 25 doesnt help me much because even if I do get enough money I still have the insurance and upkeep.:wall: My dad was supposed to get me one in december/january 03/04, but my dad was supposed to do alot of things, so i gave up on him and started saving for my self. I know it isn december/january yet but the way things are looking, doesnt look like he will get one for me.

WOA.. almost 4,000$ that is about $8,000 AUD.. ALOT of money. I dont doubt that one day I will get one.. That day will be the happiest day of my life bar one. Still I have alot to pay for Uni fees and all sorts of other stuff.

Sorry frank, your right i dont know why i said 97. I was just trying to think of an older one so it can be a little cheaper.
Krisk85- Oh, I guess things are alot different over there.:( Dont worry though, if u want one bad enough, you'll get one one day.:) |
bmw is much cheaper here because the market has been flodded with them, as for merc unfortunately you pay for your tastes. Yer thats the plan, one day :P

Why are you selling you Kleemann 430?? And how much are you selling it?
|
I am selling it because I need the $$$$ for a real estate transaction. I am currently taking offers on it. Not really sure what it is worth. I know I have alot invested into it. It sucks, because I love this car and dont want to sell it. Any one interested, call me at 602-684-6436. Thanks
|
You can also try posting this on the Classified section if you haven't already and also try e-bay.

Good luck in selling it!

I actually thought the American version looked better. But it's just a trunk!
Anyway here's a before-mods shot. Yes it's just a 230 but the majority of CLK's here are 200 or 230. Due to the crazy import tax for cars, the 230 would have cost about USD 130K when it first came out in the late 90's. I of course bought used. The CLK 55 here would probably cost what a Ferrari cost in the USA. You guys are bloody lucky. There's only 1 CLK 55 in Singapore last time I checked. |
i totally agree with you... its worse here...
a CLK320 would cost the same as a kleemanized CLK55 AMG in the states. BUT!!! there's a catch!!;) We get better performanced cars than they do!:p higher compression ratios, better torque, better alternaters and compressors and better high end speed. can you imagine a CLK230 kompressor doing 240 kph? A 320 doing 250kph!! :) |

Originally posted by TNH I love the euro trunk too, but how are you going to keep your car legal without a US plate on it? -Bruce |
Originally posted by LowRydeR Like this. :D -Bruce https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...&postid=428648 by the way, I don't believe the law states that you MUST place your state issued license plate at the factory designated spot... as long as there is 1 in the rear, and 1 in the front, both clearly visible, then you should be in proper legal parameters... i think... can anyone with more legal experience comment on this? |
I've seen an Audi A4 with euro plates on the front and rear. BUT, he did have his regular U.S plate in the rear window.

New to forum
Sorry to post in over the trunk debate, but I just found this forum (have had MBs for 5 years) and wanted to throw up a pic of my bone-stock but still loved baby:
http://www.funtigo.com/go/o637779?i=o637779_24351.jpg http://www.funtigo.com/go/o637777?i=o637777_82715.jpg http://www.funtigo.com/go/o637776?i=o637776_52649.jpg I hope to add some rims soon, and maybe the 430 front spoiler. I want to keep it clean though. Going to Autohaus in Pompano, the intention was to check up on the wait list for this car in silver with grey interior...and sitting on the floor was this 'pre-owned' 02 CLK320 in one of the most gorgeous colors I had seen on an MB. I'm not sure if all the dealers used the same tactic, but Autohaus had been buying back some CLKs which were purchased by people looking to turn it over for quick profit; it gave them a way to have some cars on the lot to avoid the horrendous wait list. Of course, over-list prices were quite the norm. Giving in to temptation, the CLK came home with me that night! Glad to know there are some MB forums...I have been participating in the occasional forum chat for VW and Audi, and always wondered if there was such a thing for MBs!! |
heeman - I must admit, you have the best looking CLK I've seen so far. What kind or rims are those.
Motorsports99 - Can you post more pics of your car. I'm thinking of getting Brabus IV's as well. Thanks |

Wheels are Lorinser RS 5, F8.5x18, R9.5x18. Considering thicker spacers all round to push out the wheels. Tyres Bridgestone SO3, F225-40/18, R255-35/18. Bodykit is Lorinser DTM edition. Suspension Sachs performance. Saving money for Kleeman pulley for supercharger.:D :D :D On the other hand, I may just leave it as it is now cos it has already sucked up a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$. Another before shot. |

Here's an after shot with wifey in the car.
|
why is the first one blue and the second one black...different car?
|
It's the exact same car.
It is resprayed obsidian black. I think black is the coolest color. |
Originally posted by heeman It's the exact same car. It is resprayed obsidian black. I think black is the coolest color. Blue seems like 99 (no blinker mirrors, side markers on the fender, body kit), black is either re-sprayed blak with those mods or just another car. |
It is a 98 CLK 230 in original metallic (?transanite) blue.
The blinkers were removed, the resulting holes patched by cutting out a larger section and then welding a piece of metal over it. The side mirrors were modded by changing to the triangular mountings and the housings with the blinkers. The motors and mirrors were left untouched. It was then left at the paint shop for 12 days to fit the bodykit and get resprayed to Obsidian Black. The blue and the black is one and the same car. I aint got so much money to get 2 CLK's. |
Well, for the pics it looks like they did a very good job with the mods! we'll give it the 3 thumbs up
:y :y :y |

mine is standard Lorinser edition... little different... and standard one is little cheaper than DTM..
|
Solihin,
go to www.lorinser.com. They have bodykits for every model, including a "wheel machine" where you can try out various wheels to see how they look on your car. |
BlackBaby, its your twin, only coupe.

I agree with you Vik...
I really love the Lorinser edition DTM front bumper... I wish I had the money... hiks hiks... :-( You guys know where I can get the lowest price for the Lorinser DTM front bumper with the fog lights? Thanks, Solihin |
Wow, whose car is that, Vik?

I like the smoked look it cleans up the car even more. The red in the stock lights is to bright. It looks 100% better smoked.

Re: Re: UPDATE
Originally posted by BlackC230Coupe Damn, u cant even see those lights. I think u should get really dark tint, paint the badges, smoke the headlights and get black wheels. And that way at night when your lights are not on it will be stealth.:D |
Re: Re: Re: UPDATE
Originally posted by mmgrad in that case, don't forget to smoke the side markers and the chrome trim around the window... oh, and the front grill if you haven't painted them already... :D :D |
Re: Re: Re: Re: UPDATE
Originally posted by BlackC230Coupe Oh yeah how could i have forgotten that? Plus a clear licence plate cover and smoke it black. I cant imagaine what something like that would look like in person if all that was really done.:p it be scary to drive that since no one will be able to see you... |
You guys sound like my boyfriend, he wants to black out everything on the car. He has made my car his project. He wants everything black but with 18" chrome amg's. So this way the only thing u see in the dark are the rims :) .

Originally posted by xyzpl And what kind of exhaust is that? Looks like HKS...... |
Nice car...
the body kit really makes the car very low... eventhough you still have that much of fender gap... :-) If you lower the car more, you will scrap the road... |
Is that the Opera Design bodykit? Your car is sweet.

Heeman, post some more of that sweet looking car! What size rims are those and are they the newer lorinser's? Post some side views please!
|
Yeah the rims look huge in the side view!
|
You can see more pics of my car on pages 72, 73, 74.
Wheels are Lorinser RS 5, 8.5x18 (only), 9.5x18. They probably look bigger because the spokes go nearly all the way to the edge of the wheel. I do lust after 19's but I think they probably rob too much power form my puny 230, and rob too much money from my pocket! |
Can't remember if this was posted Josh...sorry if this is a repost, but this is the coolest pic of your car and my car side by side.

The specs on these Lorinser LM-1's are 19X9 front 19X10 rear, 235/35/19 front, 265/30/19 rear. |

I have the H&R Sport spings and Billstein shocks, and the spring pads at the lowest setting. |

someone is selling a nice set of LD-1's with brand new tires, staggered set-up for $2400 in so. cal. Probably will let them go for $2000. He's been trying to sell them this whole past week. His ad is in the forum under classifieds.

Btw, what other Mercedes does your family own? and are they also problem free or did u have problems with those 2? I still find it hard to belive so many people have probmems with mercedes, i will consider my house hold lucky since we have owned 17 or more mercedes and never had any problems other than broken windows on the E classes and a broken fuel pump on the ML. I would also be a little concerned about buying a 2001 carrera since there would be no more warrenty. Unless there is an extended one.

Originally posted by BlackC230Coupe If you ever did really want to get a porsche that should not stop u, i belive all porsches come in a auto except for the GT2, GT3, and Carrera GT.

I wish mine did, i would love to screw around with them.:D And yeah, my dealer has actually tried to offer me a C230 coupe with manual tranny twice... i would have taken it, but I didn't want to strip the gears trying to get out of the driveway... i'll remember to bring my bud with me next time to drive it out the driveway... hehehe |

I cant even rent a car with a manual tranny from any sort of rent-a-car place around here eaither.:( |
Originally posted by BlackC230Coupe I thought u said C4? Btw, i know 1 person with a Boxster S and he has had nothing but problems with it, then it went on fire on the highway!:D Someone else i know has a Carrera C4S and its in the dealer weekly and its brand new. Someone else i know has a 700+ HP 911 Turbo but he is trouble free.:D Btw, what other Mercedes does your family own? and are they also problem free or did u have problems with those 2? I still find it hard to belive so many people have probmems with mercedes, i will consider my house hold lucky since we have owned 17 or more mercedes and never had any problems other than broken windows on the E classes and a broken fuel pump on the ML. lets see, our garage.....we have a CL600(pops, not the bi-turbo, only mods to speak of are completely new stereo install, all stealth though, and a bunch of new wood pieces for the interior), SL600(1999, moms car, midnight blue, custom crazy interior, 18x8.5 18x10 RH chrome monoblock style rims with a 3.5 inch lip in the rear:eek: ), 1991 560SEC(pops, lots of mods), and a W210 E55(brothers, no mods, being sold to a client of my fathers sometime in the near future). as far as problems, the CL has had absolutely none, the SL doesnt really have any problems, other than the fact that it cant stay alligned for more than a week, maybe my mom just cant drive, i dont know, the SEC is 13 years old and it has its minor replacement stuff but no problems really, and the E55 had some issues, all stupid stuff, but has had zero issues since it went out from under warranty. i guess my CLK and its problems can be attributed to the obvious.... CL600.....$120,000 SL600.....$120,000 560SEC..$70,000 (really have no clue what it was new) E55........$80,000 CLK430..$55,000 i guess one should expect the fit and finish of a $55K car to be different than a $120K car(unless its english), but when it comes to the driving of my CLK, ive got zero complaints, its never left me stranded, and im very confident that it wont, i just dont know if my stereo will play CDs or if my check engine light will malfuction on during the drive...;) |
thats a nice collection of cars you gots in your stable... very impressive.... i think for the CLK... its just the luck of the draw.. you either get a cherry, or a slightly bruised apple... on the super rare ocassion, you'll get a lemon...

My CLK has had such minor ones i dont even count them, like a broken front seat that did not move back, and the check engine like that came on once, (then they replaced the fuel tank). But i cant even say i had a minor one with my C230. And alot of people do have problems with them, so i guess it is all luck. |

If it is, you have your tires mounted incorrectly, cause the arrow on the directional tire is pointed towards the back... instead of the front... Check the tire on the other side of the car... you might need to swap your wheels to the other side if they are both spinning the wrong way... |

I see that you finally got your Chrome Monoblock II's. The look hot. Im about to pick up some 19'' SSR's for my CLK. Cant wait. Im also looking to do the sport drop which should bring it down about 1.2" . That should help with the handeling but im hoping that it wont hurt the ride. Im also looking to put in some tvs. I have a hookup and am thinking about waiting until the new Kenwood deck comes out. It has a 7" LCD screen with DVD player. I will let you know when everything comes along. Talk to you soon

Now all you need is a different style of wheels possible mesh?! :rolleyes: :D I love them HREs you got, and just about any mesh design wheel, but, at the same time, I like the clean look of a simple wheel... its less clutter, and it doesn't take away too much attention from the car itself... good luck selling your wheels... if in a few months you still have them, i'll look you up... :D |

Originally posted by JamE55 That's cool man! Completely understand. Actually i'm thinking of maybe just keeping the wheels. For some reason i don't wanna let go now....:confused: :D Must be them fat lips on it.:D |

...........the moderators of this forum are very sensitive to criticism, but it has been common knowledge for a long time that it is extremely difficult to post pics. as a result the "picture thread" threads are dying. What people do is to join mbnz.org and post pics there and then paste the link here. None except Benzmac so far has brought it up, perharps no one wants to ruffle the feathers of the moderators. Ted |
not only is the picture thread dead... the forum has kinda gone to hell in a handbag (is that the right saying?)
anyways... since the crash & all, the site has shifted... no more pic attachments, mods are antsy & flashing their godly power by banning peeps... its just not the same anymore... i use to have so much fun reading & responding to posts... |

Damn ELENI your tail lights are dope, what did you do again? Is it fading/chipping at all? Car looks great as usual :eek: :bow:

Thanks Bruce. I painted them with nite shade. About 3 coats. No chipping or fading.

Eleni, those are some great pics... and wow... those chome monoblocks are tight.... looks great on a black car
and dang... is that your man's 8 series? those wheels are truly deep dish... :D another thing, did you do your blacked out grill yourself? what method? any chipping? btw, lastly, i might need your help with that niteshade sprays... :D |
not a fan of the complete smoked tail light on both cars, but still the cars are great:)
absolutely love the 8-series. what year is it? 840 or 850? I want to guess 840, but it's hard to tell from the smoked tail light. OT: still don't know why the 8 didn't sell that well. It's one of the most beautiful BMW comes to date. |

I didn't have it beadblasted before doing it so that is probably why. I used the nite shade also. I've been having to touch it up every time it chips. BIG PAIN. I'm still looking for a local shop to powdercoat my spare grill if possible. Sure Danny, just let me know if you need the nite shade and I'll check out the local shop. |
