'03 CLK500
That looks dooooope! The back of the car is really growing on me, and looks awesome with the 4-tip exhaust.
How much would the tier-1 package run here in the states?

Looks good, however, I would have gone with lighter wheels. I originally had Brabus wheels (which weigh about the same or less than Carlsson wheels) and was not thrilled about the effect of the wight of those wheels. Switching to a lightweight BBS LM made a siginificant difference... the only reason I bring this up is that I am assuming by your plans to Kleemanize your car, that performance is a key issue for you.

Carlsson is the one with 4 tip exhaust on W209
Keep the brand made me put more & more Carlsson stuff.
Both body kits are under ordering by local agents,Brabus kits maybe a little cheaper, I'm watching and keep asking both dealers.
Sorry for AMG, the other CLK500 here get AMG style option
but I plan "DIY" this time.
Sleestack, you're right ! it's said 1 : 4 the weight of a rim adds
to a car.
BBS is a much lighter rim than ordinary one, do you benchmark
the difference of performance before & after the lighter rims
put on your car ?
e.g Any data of sprint time comparison ?

SHINE, CAN we talk about the lights please.
I am xenon freak. I see that u converted ur HID to 10k, hmm. did you change the light bulb or the whole assembly. How much does it run? I would be very interested in that mod. Thanks!

LIL Raja, My pleasure.
That's not my plan at all, the manager in the shop demo the 10k
HID vs My CLK factory HID 4k....
Shxt ! The instant arcing are both 10k, then those 4,6,8k HID
decayed seconds later to its design lux.
(1) W209 Bi-HID, swap the bulb 4k -> 10k US$300 for two bulbs.
(2) Fog light,need install the whole assembly, US$760
Then check if any error message occur (resistence change)
None ! it's done !

sometime "scratch" and it's a wrong thickness.
random occur in cornering.
15 mm should solve this issue.
