CLK55 on the way...

I love the w208. I had a 99 clk430 and just sold it and bought an 01 55. it's shipping out wednesday and should be here Sunday or Monday. It's a 1 owner with 42k miles, 100k warranty (until 6/2009), black w/ black interior. I'll be putting my 19" axis milano wheels on it w/ h&r springs and bilstein sport shocks. Can't wait to get it in!

Congrats. Nice move for you and the parts you will install will look nice. However, the Bilstein Sport shocks are already on your car so save them until you need them.

The car is gonna be black. I love the silver one, so It'll take getting used to. The wheels will stay silver for now...might charcoal or black them later. We'll see.

So, the bilstein sport shocks you use when lowering on H&R's are the same shocks that come factory?

It not the same shock. The stock 55 shock is a "HD" (heavy duty) type not "sport" version.

the w208's look really good lowered. i like the headlights much better than what you get with the 209.

i love those wheels. where in NV? i looked at the dark blue W208 here in Reno but i got such a good deal on my W209 that i could not resist. plus i really wanted a silver 55.

Finally

Here are the 3 real pics I took as my camera was dying a few days ago. Hopefully I'll get some nice weather and gather some friends for a decent photo shoot or something. And it needs to be lowered a little...looks sorta like a monster truck clk!

you need some springs or coilovers next. by the looks of your last car i am sure that is next in your plans. that car is super clean by the way. nice buy.
