my pre-loved CLK500 - photos

After many days of indecision , I have decided to pull the trigger on an '05 CLK500 instead of a CLK55. For the same money, I got a newer ride with lower mileage (38k miles). Just picked it up this evening. Here are a few pictures from the dealer.

I just noticed 'pre-loved', lol. Like an ex-wife. Hope your cylinders are still tight on that pre-loved ride. More pics when you get it home!

I still need to post pics but have the some car. Mine has wood steering and projectors. I replaced the side markers with the smoked ones. Just installed sprint booster (a must, transformed the car). Also installed 55k air intake and waiting on the speedtuning software. I love the care, only wished it was a little tighter (frame, suspension, don't know) over bumps and railroad tracks. But the top down makes up for any complaints.

I would love to have projectors. Are they just an even swap or do I need to 'splice and dice' to get them to fit? I have seen a few on Ebay but am afraid to take a plunge. Not much of an electrical kinda guy .

Oh, and where would be a good place to find mods (i.e. smoked side markers etc). Our old 211 wagon did not get any mod because it was a family vehicle. This one is MINE

The projectors are a straight swap. The only thing is the car needs to be coded with STAR to xenon=present.
