2004 CLK 55 Cabriolet Black/Charcoal/Black
Talking Black/Charcoal/Black W209 Cabriolet coming

I have approximately two weeks until delivery of my 2004 CLK 55 AMG Cabriolet. It is black/charcoal/black with Keyless Go, Lighting Pkg and CD Changer.

Now for the important part. Insurance is covered and arranged (actually going DOWN with this purchase) and my garage is all prepped and cleaned up.

What I would like to know from experienced AMG and Benz owners is WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST? Zaino? Accessories? Slam to the ground? New wheels and tires? I am open to any and all suggestions. This is my first Benz and I actually will be keeping this car for the next 5-7 years as I have with all of my previous cars. I generally save up for cars I really like and buy them outright and keep them. I do not like car payments.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Al

Zaino it is the first thing.

As for mods and stuff, wait. I say research what you really want to do and see if you'll actually like it.

I say go for some nice non-flashy rims, get a decent drop, and get evosport to go crazy on it
