CLK55 updated pics and mods

Hey guys, got some mods done, so i thought i will share some updated pics with you. Post your opinions please.

What i have already done is :
- Quad exhaust (2nd cat and muffler delete, now using one magnaflow 14" resonated x-pipe in the place of 2nd cats) - sounds really mean !!! Like it a lot, loud enough, but still drivable for every day)
- C63 diffuser
- Brabus look front grill painted in body color
- LED tails - car looks a lot newer with them, love the mod.
- Wrapped the interiour in carbon fiber - replaced the cheap plastic look - i've posted a thread with pics before
- Painted all the chrome in black and painted the inner housing of headlights black - gives the car a smooth black look.
- 8000k xenons, LED parking lights and LED license plate lights, LED interiour

What it needs is 19" summer setup, nicely flushed with fenders and a drop. Hopefully will do this in a month.

Here are some crappy phone pics, will do some photoshoot when nicer wheels will be on.

Car looks great big M The headlight mod is catching on

I'm shocked that a C63 diffuser fit the CLK, that's good to know. I also think the chrome painted black on a black car is beautiful.

Now get that old man's V6 E class off your sig and put the AMG in there!

The car looks amazing! You have done a great job. You should get the projector fogs an paint the shrouds black. It will make the front look a lot more uniform.

Looks great. Never have been into the blacked out look, but that really is pulled off nicely.

I wouldn't say that it is a direct fit actually. It needed some work. But i like the look, makes the rear look meaner.

Done that already, got a new sig

You are right, i was browsing ebay and some sites here in Europe, but cannot find projector fogs for an AMG bumper here. Hopefully, i will find some.

What city are you in? I'm flying through Europe a few times this year and haven't decided what cities I want to transfer through yet (I like to see different places each time I go through). Maybe I'll swing through for the day and we can go for a pint.

A lot of patience and work since the radius of the bumper si slightly different. I didn't have time for it, so i gave it to a pro. He glued it on the bumper and dremmeled some holes for better fitment. When i came to pick up the bumper, he told me that he would never take the same job again Since he is an perfectionis, it took him one whole day to make it fit properly.

That would be great Kev. I am in Bratislava, Slovakia, but the airport here is really small and doesn't do many international flights. However Vienna is 60km away (Vienna airport is like 45km) from my city, so we take all the flights from there. Maybe that is an option, let me know

That is exactly, what i was thinking. Deciding what to use, whether the paint or tint.
What type of tint do you guys use?

I just used a tint off of eBay and applied it myself...it's the same tint kevblah used too and he has a write up about it...

Do that and slap some tint on and if you love it....paint away...
