Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Coupe
LOL!!
John!
How you doing, bud!
I spent about 2 hrs cleaning the insides of the tailpipes with some very fine-grade sandpaper to work off the crap that had bonded on.
Then I hit them with some metal polish.
The following night, I headed back out to the garage with my electric toothbrush in hand!
I went to work with more metal polish using the electric toothbrush, then I buffed the hell out of the insides of the tailpipes with some soft cloths.
They're still not as I'd like them, but they're ALOT shinier than before.
I'll continue with the polishing until I am satisfied.

Hey all, just bought this 01 CLK 55 last week from a private party who took great care of the car. I had been researching for weeks on these cars. I have previously owned an 05 GTO, a corvette a mustang and several older 60's muscle cars and currently have a Volvo V70R wagon for winter driving and the wife drives a Lincoln LS V8 Sport. so this is a definite move up even considering the age of the car. It has 65K miles and looks showroom new, only had to replace the tires this weekend. well that's my story so far! This car pulls like a monster and sounds great even with the stock exhaust system IMHO.
Car looks great.
Are those 19's? Do some of the W208 come with 19's and others 18's?

Hey buddy, sorry for the very late response!
Yes, that's exactly what I do.
I give them a good wiping out after I drive it each time.
It was the initial "cleaning up mission" that was hard work.
I always clean the car after I drive it, so I will apply the same discipline to the tailpipes.

2006 CLK55 AMG Cabriolet
Hey guys, brand new to the forum. I just purchased a 2006 CLK55 AMG cabriolet. I had a 2003 C230 Coupe so a nice step up into the AMG family. I pick up the car saturday so I am very excited. The first thing I plan to do is tint my windows and go from there. I likely will try to make it a little faster if anyone has any good inexpensive ideas it would be appreciated.

CLK55 AMG by TC Concepts Berlin.
Custom widebody, OZ wheels, custom exhaust, custom interior with silver CF.
That wing is too big IMO but overall the car looks good.

'03 CLK55 AMG, '06 Jeep SRT-8
Hi All -
Just picked this baby up last week. My first Benz - an '03 CLK55 AMG. Just set her up with KNN 33-2181 air filters and new set of staggered Michelin PS2s.
I'll need to track down some seat adjustment switch knobs and figure out how to pull the instrument cluster to replace the backlight bulb. But other than that, she screams! (but of course in a very refined manner...)

hi,
here is my 2004 clk55.
it has already the inner facelift...
I already added a bilstein B14 kit (adjustable), 15mm track extension per wheel and some smaller things... but there is still a long way to go ;-)
I will add better pics soon, just wanted to introduce myself... ;-)
greetings from germany

Schoene Gruesse aus Ca. Muss richtig spass machen mit dem 55 auf der Autobahn zu fahren. Ist dein wagen mit 250KMh abgeregelt? Oder hast du damit weggemacht?
Schoener Wagen

My 208 back from the body shop after getting rear ended. Done a lot of maintenance this year so far. Including removing all that gaudy chrome trim. Enjoying her for the summer now.
