Looks fantastic. Amazing how good that front end looks, MB really hit one out of the park with that design. If I was going to keep my 500 long term I'd certainly swap that on.

Looking forward to more pics.

 

Andy I just got ET 25 all the way around...I don't like the whole spacer deal either...

Angelo

 

lol, I bet you have a few packs of the MF towels on you at all times.

 

Looks good - rims look good on our car.

 

Looks good....I think yours is the first 209 I've seen with no sunroof

 

lol... The Millennium Club!

Thanks for your compliments, bud. They are much appreciated!

Switch engines?......ermm........ na.
I reckon I would miss the noise and drama when I prod the loud pedal!
Heehee

 

lol..... something like that.

 

Hey bud!

Do you know, I think the same too.

I know there are probably many out there that don't have a sunroof, but I don't think I have seen many at all.

I didn't want a sunroof.
That's another reason I feel lucky for finding this beast.

I didn't want a sunroof adding weight the top of the car, thus further spoiling the centre of gravity (if only marginally).
I didn't want parking aids/ sensors either, or many of the other gidgets-gadgets that were available.

I'm sooooo glad that the original owner (who only had the car for a matter of months before I got my mitts on it ) specced the car quite lightly.

All I wanted when I went for this car was the coupe shell, the black interior with Nappa leather, the COMAND & HK system, the paddles & gearbox, the quad exhausts, the engine...and the drama!

 

Hi mate!

Thanks for posting for knd words.

Yes, I am very happy with how the Mandrus rims look on the CLK.. silver in particular.

These rims have been around for a while now, but I still think they work extremely well.

I'm still very pleased with them.

They have aged well too. I have had them for about a year now, and they still look brand new.

 

Rash, Thank you for posting this pic! I was a bit insecure about my tips. I was thinking they were sticking out a bit too much. Comparing our pics, I see it's not as bad as I thought.

 

Dyno i think your tips stick out Perfect!

 

No worries, bud.

Actually, after having abit of exhaust work done, they stick out ever-so slightly more than they did originally...

I didn't mind this at all though, as the quad exhausts are a glorious feature.

Plus the fact that the diffuser swallows the tailpipes somewhat, so I am glad my tailpipes stick out slightly more.

I'm itching to get the diffuser fitted! I'm going crazy with impatience!!

Just waiting on this bloody weather to clear up so I can see my body shop guy.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Beautiful car.

 

Thanks, buddy.
Your words are very much appreciated!

 

WOW fantastic car....... are the mods for the clk63 same as c63..... long tubes and tune get you to the 550HP mark?

 

My 500 wants to be a 63 when it grows up... Please keep us updated with pics as you 'mod forward'

 

Nearly all of the CLK63 BS mods will go directly onto this car.

Thanks
Brad

 

Good to know.
