The next job will be installing the Audio 10 CD head unit i have just got off ebay, so i'll be replacing the standard audio10 cc with the cd unit and i'll post pic's of how to remove old unit and installation.

audio-30(1 DIN) is a lot better, audio-50 (2 DIN) is another class.
Audio-10 doesn't get cd track repeat function.

cliffybabe

I'm gonna get the comand for it when i have sorted out my money but this audio10cd come up for £50 so it will do until i get the comand it just makes it easier to change a cd rather than the the hole mag

Nice job cliffy!!

cliffybabe

Thanks Imazz

Next job to do is possible window tint and im gonna ge lm6 rims i 18's, also im looking at other little things, like bulbs etc

Definitely looks better with the spoiler. This was a group purchase I was very glad I made.

I'm sure those JL's rock ! I still have a 12" JL Sub sitting in my basement that I just haven't had the time to install. It was in my previous '01 Corvette and it sounded great and blended very well with the standard Bose speakers in that car.

Unfortunately right now, my car is wounded. Some lady ran into the front fender over the holidays. The car is driveable but looks awful and the bent fender scrapes the tire when going over bumps. I haven't driven it since 21 December. It sux to make monthly payments on a car I can't drive ! You can treat your car like a baby but all it takes is one lousy driver to screw it up.

I have a great local body shop that will do the work and I'm confident they'll fix it better than new. Unfortunately, they are having trouble getting the parts from MB.

Lookin' Good Neil!

Finally some movement on this board!

cliffybabe

I'm well please how its looking, ok its only a 200kompressor but it does shift and now its really loud aswell.

Thanks for the comments, any suggestions on other mod's?

Neil

Don't say its only a 200 Kompressor. A CLK is a CLK.

As for mods, definitely look into a new set of wheels. and a drop. This is a must!

cliffybabe

Yeah I'm gonna get 18's lorinser lm6's i really like the look of them wheels

IMazz

Do you have Xenon's cliffy..?? I can't quite tell from the pic.
If not, perhaps that would be a worthwhile mod...

cliffybabe

I dont have xenons although i am considering it, after my last merc that blew after 11 months i dont want to go over board until i have had this car a bit longer things like wheels etc can be put onto another merc or sold on but xenons at present maybe next year unless a group buy or good price come along, i think next maybe window tints and wheels in april once th ebad weather has gone

Neil, suggested mods, easily done in this bad weather:-

1. Change std headlight bulbs and sidelights to PIAA extreme white (£70 healdlights, £8 sidelights) - much whiter light and brighter too - look like Xenons without the blue tinge of cheaper coloured bulbs.


2. Alloy pedals - £26 from MB dealer - part nos below:-

On some models (W203,W209 etc) you have to remove the plastic split pin at the base of the accelerator pedal, slide off the old plain rubber, slide on new alloy pedal face, then resecure.

for autos:
A 170 300 00 04 : gas pedal
A 170 290 01 82 : brake pedal
A 230 430 00 84 : parking brake pedal

for manuals:
A 170 300 00 04 : gas pedal
A 170 290 02 82 : brake pedal
A 170 290 00 82 : clutch pedal
A 230 430 00 84 : parking brake pedal

Yes these part numbers are various models, but clutch, brake and parking brake are universal fit


3. Did you know you can also buy the Bose speaker badges form the dealer , part no. A210 817 08 20, for £1.93 each !

cliffybabe

cheers clk 270, have u got any pic's of the pedals and speaker grill emblems, also what your head lights look like in the dark?

Thanks

Neil

Hi Neil

Looks very cool , makes the car that bit more aggresive , I managed to purchase the command bit required for working the Tv output from Steve [Top Bloke] this is due to be fitted on Wednesday this week .

I wish I had gone for Silver with my CLK as it never really appears to be dirty , but since my last 3 cars were silver i opted for black , I now feel a bit of a silly C????.

With regards to showing photos of my car I still havent cracked the rite set up for sending , can you possibly send details on to me , your car is looking the dogs B--------- .
