2000 CLK 430
nice you will have another first amg63 w208. when I first got there, I walked into your program, and then heard Ameriprise and realized that I was suppose to be in the other room in front of the host podium. funny thing was even my gf said that car is probably someone from the forum. Definitely like what you did with the front and rear, next time you have an event, let me know! gotta change out my 02 sensor this weekend, and i can finally drive mine again.
LOL, It was my car. I was hosting a client event for my clients at the DaVinci. but my badge doesnt read clk 55 it just says CLK, i wouldn't rock the 55 unless if i had it. I do have an AMG badge in the back but thats because i really like the logo and after spending over 5k in custom amg cl63 rear bumper, amg clk63 w209 front bumper and sides i figured hey waht the hell i deserve the badge, lol. but as for the 55 i dont deserve it because all i have is a 320 but in the next few months there will be a 63 badge infront of that lonely clk badge and it will be real, oh i think i forgot to mention. working on a geting a 63 setup in the bay. missing some parts though like the tranny and harness and more stuff . just engine and ecu so far.

CLK W208
Thats not a KIT. it is all genuine amg parts off of clk63 w209 and cl63 back bumper. it's not ready to buy kit, it is custom fabricated by myself and it will run you about $7k to do a setup similiar. and belive me it wasnt easy very time consuming and frostrating.

Hey VIP
Your car rocks!!
You are most definately a very talented individual .
Can you post more pics of it? One thing though in the second pic you can't see where your exhaust is hiding.
By the way if you pull off the CLK63 conversion can you post pics and a write up. I would love to see that done!!
Ps, your car is now my screen saver!

Wow, it's been a while since i've logged on to this forum. Sorry about that guys.
As requested... (these are the only pics i have available as of now. sorry)
Thank you very much for the compliments. It took a lot of research, hard work, labor, and money to put everything together just for that custom rear setup. No regrets though.... no regrets.
P.S. - none of this would of been possible without VIPCLK320's help. He inspired me to spend money that i never had. HaHaHa!. i'm just kidding Ash. LoL.

Dude!! Your car is TIGHT!
It's a pity you didn't get VIPs front bumper. That together with a carbon front lip, (oh, and boot spoiler, Haha!) pure Black Series.
Your working on something new with Vip so I hope we get news soon.
Spending too much $$$ and having no regrets, is the beauty of doing a custom or any mod to our cars. If we didn't invest hard earned cash and passion into a project we wouldn't appreciate it. Our cars aren't cheap so to do anything to them you've got to love what you do.
Keep up the good work.

Here's the secret project that we had in mind...
in addition to your custom rear turbo setup, this thing is guaranteed to give you an extra 95+ RWHP / 140 lbs torque.
So what's up? you want in?
just kidding. i just had to do it.

I wasnt there with merc. i'm a franchise asset manager with ameriprise and i was doing a client app day you should have came by me and my partner put the event together and brought in los angeles helicopters to take the clients up for a sky tour. i wish i knew you were there we had 4 helicopters for sure i would have send you up. and by the way sorry about all the noise from them we were loud. lol
thank you. i made the bumper myself it's all factory real amg parts including the top w208 piece of the bumper and the bottom w209 63 bumper and all the grilles and lights. the cost of making it and the time is too much or i would have considered it, and i kindda like the idea that only i have it. but may be one day.

WOW!!! talk about a lot of effort. You could have bought them from VIS. Here is your front bumper and rear CF diffuser, or at least something very similar to yours.

Do your research before you speak on what choice he made the quality of the bumper he had is far superior to the fiberglass one you posted. Its all about being custom thats what this is about. I haven't seen that bumper on anybody's car but my bet is it fits like crap. Also his rear cover is fully custom not just a diffuser put on look at the sides of the bumper and the different shape of it.
I found someone who purchased the VIS CLK63 bumper. I will post pics of the bumper before and after installation.
