BlackCLS550

Hi all, this is my new build of my cls550 13 I got as a salvage car. Upgraded the front and rear bumper to the new 15-17 look. Future mods that I wanna start with is upgrade to 20" multispoke oem rims, quad tips and oem diffuser and possibly weistec ecu tune.
Here's some iPhone pictures of before and after and a photo during the process.

Damn, looks great again! What kind of deal did you get on the car before fixing it? Hope it all works out mate.

Thanks! It took me some time to put all the front bumper pieces together. All the parts I purchased were used in not perfect condition so I had spent more time fixing them. Before the fix 15k.

heck yes!

I'm currently looking to buy 20" multi-spoke AMG version rims on ebay. The ones I found are:

Front Size: 20x8.5
Rear Size: 20x9.5
Offset: F: 35mm R:35mm

What is the max tire size that will fit on this setup?

Acidic Reflux

More Sidewall - 245/35/20 Front 285/30/20 Rear

More Width - 255/30/20 Front 295/25/20 Rear - 305's Do fit too but I don't think 9.5 wide wheel is wide enough.

You have a lot of car for money spent. Good job!
When you are ready for the tune, check out the OE Tuning website. Their tune on my '13 SL550 really transformed the car.
Keep up the great work!!!

Looking nice. Where did you source all the pieces for the bumper? I already have the bumper but I can't seem to find the chrome surround around the grille and I can't find the chrome pieces at the bottom of the bumper. Also,what did you do to not get an error from the drls delete?

BlackCLS550

Most of the pieces I purchased used on ebay, but some of them I had to buy brand new. The chrome surround piece and the lower chrome passenger piece I purchased brand new. The other pieces came with the bumper, not in very good condition, the middle piece has a crack right in the middle and the driver side one is all scartched up on the bottom. Eventally Ill have to replace them but I was shocked how pricey these chrome parts can be. Regarding the DRL, I haven't done anythig with them, still getting the error. There's probably a way to turn off or disable with Star Diagnostics Xentry system I have to ask my local mercedes shop.

Beautiful car... I have the '14 . Im looking to change my headlights to the '15 ones with the newer look. Any info on how thet can be done. I seen it on this youtube video:

Thanks! Can you share some photos of your car? Thats a great video, these guys doing amazing job upgrading headlights. I'm sure some kind of programming needs to be done, they're probably using a professional Star diagnostic tool for Mercedes-benz mb star c4/c5. Have you tried contacting them and asking? Really like our headlights but maybe in the future ill consider of upgrading, upgraded version seems brighter and they look good in person. Seems like the US version of the headlight has a yellow reflector inside which I don't like but the one in the video doesn't.

I have the 2016 and the headlight already able to do everything as the video except the parking light turn on from blue to white. Not sure about the factory headlight has that feature or not. Also, I am not sure we can do it as the message on the video said about "unlock blue". Very interesting.
