...the only pedals I could find at the time, only AU$160 for the set. Still preferred the SL's pedals better






...Changed the light bulb to blue/white. Xenon was a AU$3000 option

WASUUPPPP bro...

Nice machine you have got here... Silver is always the best in detailing the shape of car, just like porsche.

Hopefully we can go for a cruise soon. keep you posted.

Nice photos again..

Cheers

Thanks DTMCLK, will do the cruise for sure

.....The bulbs are called G4 Silver White Halogen Bulb from www.srsauto.com (local australian shop), but I think they rebadged it themselves, have seen it at other shops with a different name. All I know is that it's made from Korea which I was a bit sceptic at first but friends had it over a year with no issues and it's closest to xenon I could find.

.....the bodyguard is a chihuahua, nearly 3 months old

Hi Reggie,

Got mine from Morrison's at Chatswood, the dealer was an old friend, treated me quite good, even got me a corporate outting the other day at Addidas International (tennis match leading up t Australian Open) best part was the unlimited drinks and buffet he told me there's more coming (invitations of other merc sponsored events)

Also got a courtesy car while waiting for the delivery, went down to the snowy mountains, twice both times were A-Class

So my experience was quite good in all

What about you? where are you based?

Any mods coming? any pics

Hi Reggie,

Nice to see another aussie joining the forum. Where you located in Sydney? I also love Obsidian Black, any mod you have done with your car? and options do you have?

Cheers

kaiju - bought mine from macintosh @ mosman. nice guys but extremly tight in freebies. all i got were mats, bottle of red and couple of key rings (dealer made sure i knew that the key rings were not usually part of the service....)

dtm - based in sydney. noticed a lot of new clks (particularly cabs) around. i would count probably 3-4 on my daily drive to work. still, figures much better than the generic bmw 3 series that would count into dozens...

options on the car were 17inch rims, sunroof + xenon. rear spoiler looks like only thing on the horizon with funds limited.

any probs with the car so far?
i've had the customary loud wipers, squeaky mirrors and a noisy cooling vent behind my navigation sys (supposedly loose connection which was fixed).

Reggie,

I got my car from Morrison also :Ppppp , I agree that CLK is more classy and unique on the road. while 3 series is just a 3 series.
Im thinking about adding AMG spoiler as well, but I will lower the car first then wheels. Any plan for mod later?

Did you find any issue with Bi Xennon light?

cheers
