New Owner coming from w211 AMG
What's up everyone, just wanted to introduce myself on this side of the boards! Just purchased a '12 CLS550 w/launch edition package. Traded my '07 e63 AMG for it. Really looking forward to learning more about this car! All the while modding it slowly but surely ofcourse!
Was brainstorming the best methods to lower the car. And then probably look into some side markers online for it.
That being said, I was wondering, what mods does everyone recommend on this car first thing?

if it doesn't list you application on there just email the owner, mark. depending on currency exchange to pounds it will vary slightly. I think I paid $120-30 shipped from the uk, he fedex overnights them so you will get them in 1-2 days.

CLS550
I want to piggy back on this. I'm a new '12 CLS550 Owner as well, bout to purchase some 20" wheels and thinking its probably going to need to drop a 1/2" to 1" for my visual liking. I don't want to change ride too much nor drop that much cash into..its purely aesthetics.
Seems lowering links is best way to go, but are they truly a DIY project. I'm pretty handy with tools, I have access to a lift if need be. But seems to be some chatter about the rear links being a pain.
Thoughts?
