Lovely! I like the staggered setup. What brand are the wheels? SSR?

Are those rear flaps aftermarket? Certainly will prevent paint damage!

The rearflaps are come with all the CLS's in HK. It aint an option. If you come to HK, you might want to try 1. Speedline in Causeway Bay and 2. Deutscheland in Honghom. I have even changed the AMG grill. Cost around US$220. Looks a lot better.

What do you mean AMG grill? Do you mean the 3 silver strips in 55 across the front grill instead of 4 in 500s? Can you show us some pictures?

Wow. I wonder why you get the flaps... We get this clear film that looks like the paint is scratched.

The attached picture shows the difference between a CLS55 grille (bottom) and a regular CLS grill (top).

Mic325 is right. Bought it at Deutsheland in Hong Hom, HK. The grill is exactly the one on CLS55. Takes 2 mins to install. Not trying to show off but it sure looks a lot nicer. Strongly suggest to invest on the grill. After adding the new rims and the grill, I got harrassed by the quite a few Toyotas and Nissans though, haha!!!!!

Dont wanna add the AMG kit as it is not classy.

Scratches? no, those were mud.

beautiful, more pics please.

I think those are HRE's... SSR's don't come with a rear lip that big and the offset for the SSR's most likely won't fit the CLS...

I didnt do anything about the suspension cos 1. active suspension is being installed (mine is a CLS350) 2. Too new for the external mechanics to know how to deal with the suspension system, too risky.

I think the Bridgestone 050 tires are really good. More economical and long lasting than the Pilot Sport 2. Not too noisy and bumpy as well.

Yes, iforges they are. Like them very much. What do you think if they are in brush aluminum? Chose it cos they are way too many lip-less rims in HK. Not much rims with lips to choose from.

How are the Brabus?
