...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

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

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
