I love the looks of that accent on a light-colored car! I though about doing this on mine, but Cadet Blue is fairly dark, so I don't think it would stand out as much.

On a darkblue car a silver carbone wrap actually does look good, did you ever thought about getting the lower part of the bumper wrapped in just a brighter colour?
I mean does not automatically makes you a ricer! Tastefully wrapped a Mercedes can really turn into a nice looking ride. Carbone foil from 3 M is really the best stuff on the market, right now.

BBW if you lived in the NY, we'd be best friends. Very nice car... best of both worlds "AMG LOOKS minus the ****ty mileage" I approve 100%

I'm not a fan of putting the badge on a stock base model, but if someone goes through so much work (changing bumpers, interior, pipes/tips) then you're not a base model anymore

i like what you have done here, keep up the good work.

couple of questions for you:
have you fitted the quad exhaust so they all work?
also does it affect the exhaust emissions test during MOT?

thanks

Thankfully both my CLKs, 05&56 had the facelift interior, otherwise I'd have done the same as you've!

Can I ask where it is you tapped in for the footwell lights? What size leds/ resistors did you use? Something I really wish they'd supplied from the factory. Just a nice feature.
