Hi, ive been observing this forum for about 2-3 months ago when im still deciding on what car to get. Long story short I bought this 05 clk 320, after missed two deals on 05 clk500 and 05 clk 55 amg. I wasted 2 airplane tickets for the 500 and 55. Tired of finding the car out of state, I bought this car around my area. Anyway im still happy with my 320 and i can use the money to modify it
I bought this car 2 weeks ago and its been in the bodyshop from monday
This is the only pict that i have for the exterior

and this is some of the items that i just received from the brown guy

The items that are being installed are:
HnR springs
BiXenon headlights
CF trunk spoiler
CF lip spoiler
one slat grill
dual exhaust
paint the roof black

future mod:
wheels
facelift taillights

thank you for the warm welcome guys
Im not changing the bumper. Im using my stock 320 bumper, thats why fitting would be a problem. My bodyshop is trying to fit it right now, but if it doesnt fit maybe I'll try to see what i can do. and yes ive been pm-in dynomite and mbenz asking about a lot of things

One of the tab of the xenon light is broken, do you guys think i'll still be able to install it in my car?

lol, not sure if they could install it like that. Here is the info for the repair kits if you need them. I believe they were $30 each last time I checked parts.com

Yea, it's for fixing broken tabs. Maybe you could pass by a dealer and pick it up before taking them to install.

Welcome to the forum, nice looking 320 you picked up there mate, it goes without saying that I also love them in white.

As for the wheels, I think the CLK looks stunning with a 5 spoke design (lot's of variations out there) but I've gone with something a little different, we'll see how it works out.

Again, welcome and looking forward to pics and updates!

Option B. It would be nice if you could get them with the AMG stamp.
