New KLEEMANN CLK 500
I was in getting my springs and shocks changed for Kleemann parts today on my CLK430 and thought this new CLK500 was a bit special.
Perhaps this should be posted to the W209 forum but thought you guys would be interested too.

This was at the Kleemann UK distributer, Oakley International in Kent, England.
I had a look around when they were fitted my Kleemann parts and have several Klemannized cars including a new E500 and a C200K estate.
For our UK contingent, Oakley's are fairly new to Kleemann but very keen and you may well see them more and more in Benz press from now on.
They are at Silverstone today (Friday) for the F1 GP practice day so look out for them if you are too.
If anyone wants to see a few more pics, let me know.

More pictures are always welcomed.. Pictures of the interior (dash) would be much appreciated.

Sorry boys don't have any interior pics but I am sure the owners will do some for me after the weekend. It looked good though when I sat in it.
Here is a couple of shots of the outside from defferent angles.

If you look closely, you can see it has the two tone black seats. Very nice! Is that a custom Kleemann interior?

Your correct, it's two tone blue/black custom. Very sporty but still classy which is what impressed me most. Further, Oakley's spend a lot of time considering look especially with the wheel offsets and ride height but they still realise that these cars get driven on the road most of the time as well as track occasionally so strike a nice balance.
I'll see if they will post direct or send me some interior pic's on Monday!
They import cars into the UK and had Suburu, Audi, BMW as well as MB but I was immediately drawn to the CLK. In the flesh, it was a class above all the rest. I am biased but this was my honest opinion.

Thanks ! Fudger
Fantastic ! two tone interior by blue !
Is the sport steering wheel borrowed from R230(SL) ?
and a Kleemann 330 km/h (200 mile/hr) speedo is there,right ?
What else do I miss ?
