Sure looks strange seeing a CLK500 without the AMG kit, saw one when I was in Denmark too. What on earth is the offset of those wheels? They almost don't look like they sitting on the car correctly because of the stance. You certainly have some track width there mate.

you are lucky people - in germany you had to pay for the amg styling kit - oherwise the car comes with standard bumpers.... even the 500

the suspension is stock - waiting for h&r ;-)

I'm glad someone said it before me. It's probably those ridiculously thick spacers he's using.

Wrong choice in wheels for the CLK IMO, but he could have at least put on MB center caps. It looks like a Spartan chariot ready for battle. Lol

With a plethora of aftermarket product for MBs in Germany, I would expect much more.

Replaced my Brabus exhaust with this quad Eisenamnn race - puchased from member Mu9enx. it was so loud I couldn't think, especially dirving home - I live on a hill. So I put my oem resonator back on and now it's prefect. Need to make some more adjustments to the tips this week.

You don't see a lot of round tips on CLK's, I think they look good and flow well with the body kit. Four round eyes down low on the front and four round eyes down low on the rear. Now that's consistent

Here's a pic from this morning - not great but will try and get some more when I see some sun out here. So I spent 3 hours yesterday at my muffler shop trying to get the tips perfect. The tech was probably getting annoyed by me and I was getting frustrated. They kept trying to make the adjustments while keeping 95% of the piping intact, and I kept telling them to redo the entire exhaust if necessary. The short of it is the tips are now straight and aligned with the car where as before they pointed outwards at an angle - due in large part becasue I guess the w203 is less wide from center. But they are now not exactly centered in the openings which bugs me. So next chance I'm going to find another shop to possible redo the entire system from scratch with ss, and with the goal of moving the tips outwards as much as possible and cutting a little bit more of the bumper. We'll see.

I feel your pain as I'm sure lots of other members do too - getting 4 tips all straight and lined up is a pain in the *** but if they arent just right, we can't live with it!

The tips look great! And this comes from a guy(me) that always advocate for AMG tips.
As you say the tips are not perfectly alligned up but you'll get it fixed! Still I like it

2006 Facelift CLK500 Cab-
With that alignment thing- leave everything attached just as it is and get some BIG hose clamps and wrap them around both the exhaust hangar and the rod on the exhaust itself that attaches into the rubber hangar and you can tweak the height/alignment just a little without bending/welding anything by simply tightening the clamps. I had the same problem with a past car and this is how I solved it- worked great for 3-4 years until I sold it.
