2000 CLK 320
some Updated Pic of the CLKeezie

i did a few mods to my clk. the mods were minor in price but definately took a lot of time, but i think they made a HUGE difference. the pix wit red calipers are older pix,just painted em yellow a few days ago.let me know what yall think. any/all opinions are welcome. i know im one of the first to do a particular mod i did cause i have NEVER seen it in any benz forums, so im definately proud of that one

Future Mods: new exhaust and projectors ( either w210 conversion or wait a couple of months for the non cheese grater projectors)

i thought about doin that. but i need some contrast up in there. if i smoke it out, it will be too much black,dont ya think?? there pretty easy to clean. a stream of water and a lil rub down seems to do job everytime i wash my ride. thanx man, ya i was lookn somewhere to put that clk emblem after i took it out the back,that seemed to be the perfect spot

thanx man, ya that mesh is definately one of the best mods ive done. kinda whants to give it that lorinser type look,haha, for a way cheaper price. i used dupli color from autozone- 7bucks for a spray can. i did the to front at the time, then the two back. i also painted the wheel wheels, that round metal protector behind rotor, and sides of rotor all black to replace that ugly brown rusted look

Ok, first of all....I hate that I have no ability to do any of this ish to my own ride...My calipers are nasty and have that rusty look, so I wanted to get them painted, but I can't do it myself...I am going to get brakes and rotors for the baby in the next couple of weeks...is it best to have the mechanic do the paint job? Anyone know how much they'll take me for?

Nice job on the bumper also, I like the net look, but can't find anything that won't give me fitment issues.....the regular AMG style 208 f. bumper is like the one I already had---kinda want somethng different...

Overall, nice job...

I thought about doing the gutter guard mesh before but wasnt sure how it would look. It looks nice on your car. It makes it look more agressive. I think you should hit it with a bit of gunmetal grey spray paint to tone it down a bit. I think that would make it look even that much better, but thats just my opinion. Good job.
