Task: Transform a "normal boring" CLK to a hot one

Hi everyone.
Just started a new hobby :-) How make a boring CLK become a hot one.

Here is my ideas:
1. Buy a cheap CLK 200
2. Fix the normal demages in the car, and paint it (white?)
3. Lowered it (40mm springs)
4. Style it (migastyling.com)
5. New 19" wheels (AMG copy)
and stop ?

The goal is the white one.

So far I have done 1, getting ready for 2, and buyied nr 3,4 (not innstalled) and got the 5 on. See pics.

In a couple of week I will be ready I hope. Try to post some pics along.

Best regards Alf in Norway

That's no way to welcome a fellow CLK'er.

You'll beat me in a race EVERYtime cuz.... I be rollin like Santa, pimpin it slow, lookin all around for da ho-ho-ho!

But if ya really wanna run em... I'll catch u at Broadway & 62nd in front of Piatek Butcher shop...

I agree, we'll never make it out alive because no one knows us so we have just become outsiders in that ghetto gangland.

I get back to Gary every few years. Was just back there last year. It's so bad that even the atmosphere hits you with sadness and a ghostly aura. Next time I get back I want to make a video of how bad it is, there is no way a city can ever come back from that. I also noticed that now everyone from Gary is moving out into Merriville to have an improvement on their quality of life but it's doing nothing but making Merriville go down as well.

It was funny, went to Goudy's to get some of that good fish and inside as I approach the bullet proof glass trying to place my order, to the right there was a drunk bum in his 50s trying to play on an old beat up organ and sing with no teeth stating he has dreams and plans to go to college to pursue a career in music taking donations... That might have been me if I stayed in Gary. I so don't miss Gary that it's not even funny. That was down on around 25th in Broadway last year.

Gary looks like a 3rd world country in a war zone for the most part. When's the last time you've been back?

And I've been on the other side of the world for 21 years Mister.

I have no problem with the comments, mostly due to that I have another car - more build for speed :-)

Looking great! Now you need a double-din DVD, bluetooth, backup cam w/ satellite radio...

PS, is satellite radio popular in Norway?

99CLK320,
Get a flat hood emblem. It goes with your look and you will like it much better.
