Talking hello newbie in CLK world with few mods

hello everybody

firstly hello to everybody very nice forum hope u all the best!!!

i am new to the CLK world i was an owner of a white w202 with custom everything (wide body kit) MAE rims and exhaust 2 tone leather etc...

i just got a midnight blue CLK320 (1998) a couple of months ago, and started the modding fever... here's the modds so far

-Custom 2 tone leather interior dark blue - light grey
-kenwood sound system cd/usb deck with kenwood speakers in stock places and a 2 1500 double coil subs huge 'non-brand' amp and a kenwood 800w amp for the six speakers
-chrome fittings for the srs airbag things in the doors
-after market crystal headlights soon to be HIDs all around with crystal fogs to match
-custom front lip (very discreet not the streetfighter 100 hp upgrade lol)
-lorinser replica roof spoiler
-brabus emblems flat badge rear badge and the rear brabus lettering with the sides too (sides and lettering not installed yet)
- S-Class brushed chrome??? 18"x8 18"x9 rims with 235/40 265/35 rear, rear needs 20mm spacers to look good
- 2000+ mirrors and side skirts
-AMG chrome exhaust tip

soon to come full respray either violet/blue flip paint or stock paint + diamond gloss and a brabus front and rear lip if i figure out how to ship them in Lebanon beirut

First off welcome and nice ride!!!

And now for the request...Can you please take a front corner shot of the whole car. The more and more I see these headlights the more I like them and now I think I want them! Thanks and once again welcome..you just got your car and your are way ahead on the mods. All I have so far is the Eisenmann race exhaust, clear corners and some cheesy V8 side badges!!

I like that interior man!!!

hi guys, today at night i am taking it to get a detailing job, polish and wax, i will post some day time pics after that, the mirrors are oem, the blikers will definetly go in 6 months when i get a full respray. my car is a sport edition its a german import, it comes with stiffer steering lower pads and stiff suspension all from the factory it also comes with white dials and colour coded carbonfibre lookalike trim. i am glad you like it cause i am still not satisfied with the current look i am used to more agressive lips and rims 2 colour body paint etc etc... by the way anyone got the brabus style kit from erbuni corp? are they legit?
