2008 CLK 63 Black Series
1ST POST & PICS

Been enjoying my BS now since early March. Got rid of my Techart 997 turbo and haven't missed it a bit. Finally got my wheels today and decided to post a couple pics to say hello. Weather has been bad, will post more pics later.

Nice looking wheels, looks like you have a little room in the fenders, get back in there this weekend and adjust the ride height down about .600"....it will not rub, I have lowering springs, lowered ride height and 19x11's with 305's in the rear.

Looks great, I also love the black grill, I over looked that in the first pics you posted. I've been going back and forth on getting mine painted gloss black. I did have the hood vent/grill painted gloss black and it looks sinister ( I need to post some pics of that). I'm also thinking about painting the entire roof panel gloss black. I also have a couple other new things done to her that I am going to be unvieling here very shortly.

Thanks. No engine mods yet, only removed charcoal filters and replaced stock filters with BMC's.

Looks good, I've thought of removing the "CLK 63" badge on the rear - but I don't like the totally debadged look though - why'd u decide to do that?. the 20's look great though. congrats!!!

I didn't really want any chrome on the car. We did the window surround, door handles and tailpipes. At that point we tried the badges and it really didn't look right. Too many black logos on the car. I like the clean look.
