Smile Hello W208 CLK Guys

Hello to all you guys with CLK's. I have been reading your posts for quite some time as I have been doing things to my car little by little for about six months. This forum always seems to be where google puts me and generally I find the answers to my questions pretty quickly so......Thanks for all the things I learned from you guys. I finally registered today as I wanted to show you guys my solution to the lower front air intake insert that always seems to disappear. Sory the car I haven't seen anyone do this yet although I did start with the gutter gaurd idea I learned from a thread here. My next move is the Depo projector lamps this weekend so any advice or links to threads regarding installation and adjustment would be welcomed. Again thanks for all the information and I look forward to being an active member of the forum.
Dan

Welcome aboard!!!

Looks good... I did the same thing, but the paint kept chipping off. I even did multiple layers of paint and clear coat.

Thanks for the warm welcome. So if I ask if the Depo headlights are the ones to get or do you recommend another brand, do I get flamed for not spending enough time with the search function? It's just that I'm working too and plan to go ahead and buy them tonight.
