The rear looks a little toed in, did u align after, or is the car sitting on something? are the wheels 18"? maybe u should consider a different wheel, im not digging those too much on the CLS, they look a little weak IMO.
pretty cool though on all the mods. look forward to what else you do!

What a day !
10:30 I arrived the show room, the audio shop sent a mechanic doing my audio upgrade.
11:00 The dealer invited me to visit their Monster show room where are Carrera GT, Challengers,575M, F430, Gallado,Maserati roadster & a few F360s supercars all around.
16:00 My car delievered as soon as the audio work has done,the mechanic has done 5 CLS audio upgrade including mine to meet the quality I demand.
16:15 Driving my baby in about 5 miles to the appointed
tuner shop. :p
16:30 PSS-9 upgrade work started, 1st time here
they're dealing with the new CLS model, though W211
share the same chassis and they've done many E.
Never used light forged rims before, the shop prepared
me the BBS-RGR to start with.
20:30 Job done, a few test run by the mechanic.
21:00 Left for home, what a busy delievery day.

During the 5 miles driving to the tuner shop......
The CLS is so much comfortable !
quiet, smooth, agile
at the time I was listening to the audio, very clear & precise sound in all tones than stock audio.
During the test run, the mechanic told me how much different he found between CLS350 and W211/E320
the CLS is a far step ahead the W211,the new powerful 350
engine feel like a V8, better handling .....etc
On my way home (I know the break-in rule of a new car)
It went up 110 mph effortlessly, lower rpm in cruising as
a V8 is.
Great & new technology MB put in the CLS.

Agree your opinion, with 18" 9J ...... I'm embarrassed.
Friends also expect me to have aggressive rims setup
That'll dress the CLS very cool !
Sorry to disappoint you. :p

Do you get pics of your idea rims ?

Nice! I just ordered my rims today - you would never guess what they are in a million years...lol - I was searching high and low for the past 2 weeks (often after work till midnight while playing poker...lol) and I found them in the most random place. Surprisingly cost effective and I think they will look hot. All I will say is silver with a polished lip. 19 x8.5, 19 x 9.5 - same set up as the CLS55 - almost went 20's but I decided against it. If I want bigger I'll just sell em later and buy some GFG's and go all out. No pictures anywhere of these new ones!!!?? Great job Adam - they gotta be hot!!! Waiting for the pics!!!
