This is probably the nicest CLK55 ive ever seen. Look at his mods, smoked taillights, rims, exhaust, springs, even smoked mirror lights. This car has it all! I wish i could bid on a monstor like this...

Exclamation Nice Ride, has everything, But...

Those look like Imitation Brabus Monoblock VIs and not the real thing. You can tell because the center cap has the MBZ Star and not the 'B' on it.
Not that it really matters, but just an observation. Other than that, the low miles for a CLK 55 AMG is pretty good.

I was wondering about the rims, too. You know with a car like that, I had to look for something wrong. Although the rims still look pretty sweet. Maybe I'll dip into my unused college fund and put a bid in on this one, oh wait, my parents didn't start one for me.

Yeah but you can switch center caps, because both the Brabus and MB center caps are the same size. Ive seen many authentic brabus wheels with MB center caps, Renntech as well.

I had the authentic Brabus but put the MB center caps on because the B(brabus) were not in chrome color.

Hmm.. how can you tell the right exhaust is not connected? BTW, can anyone tell what kind of exhaust that is? I see some wording on the tips, but cant tell. Nice smoked side mirrors...

My friend knows the guy... He said he crawled under the car.

Let me call him and see if he knows who made it..

2000 CLK 320
He went a little overboard on the description:

"Manual mode (M) gives the driver the option of using F1-style gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. In addition, the gears are not changed automatically in this mode, meaning that the driver can utilize the immense pulling power to the full, even with the throttle wide open. Other AMG-Speedshift functions that really come into their own during sporty driving include automatic active downshifting, 'shift to ideal gear', torque converter lockup in any gear and shorter, more spontaneous gear changes."

What F1-sytle gearshift paddles on the steering wheel? Those are for changing CD tracks

Ok, according to my spy it's an Eisenmann exhaust and the right side is just a tip welded to the tow hook.

Maybe they took the description of the 2003 CLK55? They have the F1 shifters if I am correct...

cool quad-exaust...too bad the right side is just for looks. Those rims look like the real thing. Can't tell by the picture tho, real brabus rims has a little brabus on the outer edge next to one of the bolts.
