Nice!
Kev do you know if Quaife makes LSD for clk 320?
I have searched their website but found nothing.
I know it might be unecessary for a 320 but still a cool thing to add to the car.

No idea if they do or not Mikey. In all seriousness though, it's a lot of money to spend on the part and install for a car that won't benefit at all from it. Nothing wrong with a 320 but if I were you I'd focus on the cosmetics and not the performance parts that are 'end pieces' like the LSD is.

But seriousness aside, it would a cool thing to have on a 320 though

Wow, popular posting this time, I've already got a lot of emails & PM's asking where they can buy this LSD and if it will work on their car. This QDF27B is for the Euro market only, the 9V is the Global/US version. I can only verify that the 9V will work with the 2005 500's and the 7V works on the 2004 55, anything in between I'm not sure of. One would guess the 55's and pre '05 500's (5 speed trans) use the 7V, the 9V is also supposed to work on the new CLS63's but again, check with a Quaife distributor in your area.

New delivery last night, Vorsteiner CF spoiler 
Still waiting on my new wheels, there was a delay but hope to have them before the end of the year.

Yes, ordered some custom wheels about 2 months ago, I'm hoping to have them here in Dubai and on the car before the end of the year. I'm going to stay tight lipped for now...

Well, the car goes to MB in a few hours for the last mechanical install - the Quaife LSD. I also bought a few more goodies to see if they can get them fit in when they change out the dif;

I saw a C55 the other day and I was thinking the very same thing, "I wonder if I can install the diff cover with the fins when I get the Quaife installed". I guess we're about to find out!
If it does work, part numbers please!

So, a bit of fuel map tuning left and some cosmetics and she's all done - it's going to be fantastic to just sit in it, enjoy it and drive

Just picked the car up from MB with the Quaife LSD and new motor mounts installed. With the ESP running in full mode it still cuts power but far shorter bursts, with it off (or as close as MB lets you get to it being off) the yellow triangle flashed once.
It's a very noticeable difference over the open diff with all the added torque, it's going to make powering out of the corners a whole lot more linear and controllable. For $2K (part, shipped & installed at MB) it gets a
