My new baby - Paid for so I can collect in 2 days
I have a 1999 CLK 230k with 158,800 miles on, and it's got a sudden case of the rusting blues.

This week I have driven about 1,000 miles looking at alternatives; all CLK270 diesel, all need to be silver/blue/champagne/black and have either cream or 2-tone grey leather and preferably with wlanut dash, but carbon fibre would work for some trim...

Attached are what I finally decided upon.
2003, CLK270 CDI Avantgarde A, with 120,000 miles.

Beautiful.

I think certain wheels look really good with the right color combo as well.

I currently have the stock 17" wheels on my Brilliant Silver 2005 CLK500 Cabriolet. Thinking of doing 19" upgrade. Not sure how it would look without buying aftermarket shocks and springs.

Thanks in advance.

Marc

P.S. Just read some info and they may not fit my car; they sell these in replicas?
Just saw this- I have HRE P40 and I'm not sure about lowpost. I would definitely do 19" on the CLK as the smaller wheels look frumpier due to the mass of the car (especially the acre of quarter panel above the very small rear arch). That small rear arch almost ruins the car's styling for me as it stinks of entry-level economy class car. Also... IMO a drop is also a must otherwise you may get the 4x4 syndrome with the bigger wheels. Keep the front lower than the rear to create the raked look and keep the top of the arches aligned.
