CLK 55 AMG
robzn's CLK 55 AMG W209 Build

Hello guys!

I'm Robert, 23y old from germany and I want to show you my project!

Last summer I bought the CLK 55 AMG with 90000km, very clean with red seats and original. Here are some pictures, still a beautiful car, but I like it more special.. You will see what I mean.

Thanks to megacrazy and VIS Racing, they helped me a lot with US parts!










My friend was ****ed up after a whole day, his face is priceless.

Exhaust is custom made with original AMG tips.





Got the VIS carbon diffuser, 63 Bumper, 63 carbon front lip and Blackseries Spoiler





With the new 63 bumper



New shoes in chrome! Rial Daytona Race 19x8,5J 225/35 Front and 19x10J 255/30 rear... with dogiii





On the car... amazing!



Now a big change and I'm sure that's unique. The color was not special for me and I decided to wrap the whole car in a different color. Because of my red seats it was not hard to find a color.

The Results are great in my opinion.

The color is: Red anodized matte by PWF





With the 63 Carbon lip



The VIS Diffuser with an underbody diffuser! Thanks again to megacrazy!!!!!





With sun





Thank you! Updates of the interior are coming soon!

none... for now
I like almost all of it, and I think that color could really grow on me(and I don't even like matte colors). ALL cars should have cool 2-tone interiors.

But those wheel/tire sizes are seriously whacky...

Thanks!

Yep, I know, but there is no space for bigger wheels on the CLK. It's at the limit without modifying too much.

Sorry, what I meant was tire to wheel size.

8.5 inch rim easily fits a 245 tire

10 inch rim easily fits 275

The tires are stretched, unless(sadly) that's what you were aiming for. I'd either bump the tires up at least 1 size or cut back the rim size. As is it's just extra rotating mass for no reason.

Looking good! I think it came out great. I like the color and how it matches the red seats. The diffuser came out great too.

+1, Great Build, Congrats!

On that pic with the wheels and the dog, I noticed that the area in the hub that the tire bead contacts the rim, looks dirty or corroded. As someone who already has chrome wheels, overtime water will cause more corrosion and you will experience slow air leaks. You will eventually have to have your wheel lathed to get the corrosion off, then the wheel repair shop will put an epoxy to prevent corrosion in the future.

BTW, I'm running 235 front and 275 rear tires; going this wide will require grinding away some of the fender to prevent rubbing (I think I explained what I did in the tire/wheel thread in the regular W209 forum).

It's different. I like the color. Not crazy about the wheels, but it might look better if the car was lower.

Also the left exhaust pipes don't look straight, or both are pointed away from each other - unless you were going for that look.
