My 2003 CLK270 CDI - Modding Project
Here she is, my 2003 W209 CLK270 CDI:
Extremely happy with my final choice of replacement over my trusty W202 - you will be missed!
I know its not the 3.2 diesel, but the power output feels amazing, even though its meant to be the same as my W202.
Real headturner aswell, had a couple of ladies smile - somthing which never happened driving a W202!
And me being me, list of my planned mods (in no particular order!):
-W207/W212 DRL's - already sourced a set of the 'Hockey stick' style ones
-Facelift 3 bar grill
-Facelift rear clusters
-CLK63 AMG front bumper
-CLK55 AMG rear box - either prefaclift twin pipes, or the later/CLK63 AMG quad pipes
-Rear Carbon Fibre diffuser
-19" AMG wheels, not decided on which style yet
-Facelift switch gear (already bought)
-Facelift climate controls (already bought) - Seriously, the existing pre-facelift controls look like they are from a 1987 Fiesta Popular-Plus
-Rear sunblind
-Parktronic
Already fitted LED sidelights & rear numberplate lights
And thats only the beginning, now heres the pictures on the 1st 'summers' night of the year!

Check this out...... bigger turbo! Crazy to hear that ratta-tat-tat out of the clk! Very cool car. I'd love to have one for daily driver to/from town.
Turbo upgrade....... you could go nuts with this.... ported intake, ported turbo inlet/outlet... better exhaust, tune....... make me think this could be fun

All done! wasnt as difficult as I thought and I have no screws left over!
Aircon working, Audio 20 working(ish) no dash controls etc.
The top section of dash I need to make a custom connector out of an old SCSI lead or somthing but looking good eh?
Audio 20 working:
Finally rid of the 80s Transit van trim:
