2004 CLK500
Hello! New CLK500 owner 😸
Hello all! Glad to finally join the forum. I previously owned an SLK230K, but have now moved into a CLK500. The first V8 coupe I've ever owned. I'm very excited and have a ton of parts on the way to refresh her. Mechanically, I have valve cover gaskets and breather hose replacements on the way, is there anything else I should just go ahead and replace due to high mileage, 205k?
Also I'm a huge sucker for the puddle lights, is there anyway I can retrofit those to a 2004?
Nice to meet you all, I am looking forward to all of the advice moving forward!

Welcome to the forum and the world of CLK's.
I am relatively new here myself. This place has been a great source of information.
These two YT channels have some very good CLK videos about what to look for on CLK's.

And this video in particular by Different Car Review really breaks down what to look for:
