I finally got a chance to wrap my CLK 55 interior. I wasn't a big fan of the bright wood interior of Mercedes of this era. So I'm covering it up with grey brush aluminum. Let me know how you guys like it. I remove the each panel to wrap it so it look pretty legit even close up.

Looks great Chris. I wrapped the burl wood trim in my 2003 E500 with 3M Brushed Black Metallic and love the results. I've got an Ash Grey interior and the brown wood never matched and looked dated. Would post some pictures but I'm dealing with the whole Photobucket fiasco.

The wrap looks great!

I would caution hanging too much weight off your keys while it's inserted on the ignition switch. Over time, it could damage the mechanism and it would be a PIA/expensive to repair.

Chris Huynh

Yeah... I'm very aware of that. It's basic both my CLK55 and My E55 w211 key, along with misc business keys...

Where did you buy this kit? does it come pre-cut?

Thanks

Hi, I bought it pretty cheap on eBay from a seller in California. I used it before on my E46 M3 and E92 335i. It last for about 4-5 years before it start to peel... you buy it in a 3x5 feet roll. It's self adhesive, use a hair drier to help contour the edge and trim off unwanted vinyl. It took me about 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. I do this multiple before on my bmw's so it was quite easy on this clk.... let me know if you need pointer on how to...

Shoot, I would have traded my OE aluminum trim straight up !

I'd rather have the wood veneer look.

looks very good and i wanted to do it on my w208 as well but didnt know how it would look.
By what i see now I am going to give it a go. can you please post a link or the exact name please?

Go on eBay and put this item number in 272013660582. Seller from Chicago, my mistake didn't meant to say Cali. I used the Grey color one. It's darker than the silver one.

Looks good! For a sec there, I thought you wrapped it wood, since I saw the aluminum finish pictures first haha.

Chris Huynh

Haha.... thanks Don!!
