CLK 430
CLK 55 widebody
Hi all happy guys and girls. thought to upload a project thread on my CLK 55 AMG. It is originally a CLK 430 with a 5.4 liter AMG engine in now.

bought new brakes for the E55 from 2004 8 piston caliper. since then I plan on compressor building in winter

so I'm working with the wide body kit.

here are some pictures of the car. Comment about this please

hope the fenders aren't made in fiberglass, if they are goodluck.

2. don't mold the rear like that, rear bumper flowing into the rear fender cause if you get into a fender bender it's not gonna be pretty...

i've had a project like this in the past and you can see my ex w210 in my sig...i've been buging my buddy with his w208 to go widebody and he won't but maybe one day i'll pick up a clk55 and have a go at it...

most of the car will be cast by the carbon fiber or fiberglass. later now, I just want to finish it and give it a bit. then becomes the compressor building in winter

Yeah.. those headlights are making me cross eyed.. are the fenders too far out or the lights too far in? That outside clearance to the lens looks off
