Thanks. Yes, I took quite a few pictures of the installation from several different angles, I'll post up some pictures in a few weeks (have to pick the ones I like then have them cleaned up to print grade, I'm horrible at post-editing), I'm out of the country now.

Then, sanded it down smooth, painted it body color, gave it the 6600 clear coat, wet sanded it then polished it.




More stuff on the way
Is that stack of papers your invoices from the body shop? I hope not lol

Crazy mods you are doing congrats

Bodyshop has been the cheap part of the project so far

Thanks, more mods coming this winter.

It turned out stellar, flawless, the guys did a kick *** job on this project. When I get the DSLR pics up you'll be able to see that there is zero texture or orange peel in the paint. I just wanted something to heavily contrast when the hood is opened at shows, this should do it.

Time to dust off this thread, I've got some more goodies showing up in a few weeks (plus customs clearance time of course) then a whole new project will begin. To those that have asked for more pics and videos, I will get some put together in the next few weeks and post them. Hard to believe but yesterday was the first time I've driven the CLK to work in about 3 months - I'm just never here anymore. Such easy cars to fall in love with all over again

Stay tuned...

Thanks Andy, it is spotless under the hood, I'll post up better pics one of these days. I'd you want the license plate, simple, move to Dubai, bring the car and register it - you get the plate for free

As for the license plate bracket, it's the OEM Euro plate holder, I just had it sanded down, painted body color and clear coated. I think it looks far cleaner than a black piece of plastic.

So, just the calm before the storm? I honestly don't know what more you could do, but then, I'm not the visionary you are! Fascinating reading.

Never trust a sleeping volcano. Mount St. Kevin could erupt any time. Beware the lava flow; it's white. and hot.

This will be last major mod project, maybe a few minor ones afterwards but that'll be it. Hopefully my stuff arrives soon so I can let you guys in on what I've got cooking.
