Hey while you're at, you might as well drop in a 55K motor, and slap on some AMG big brakes to really make it worth while...

Chris The Swede

It would have been cheaper to buy a CLS55 then.. Those engines are expennsive...And the work...

Chris The Swede

Here we go with the first mods...Before and after pics:



New gearknob in wood..



New star since the old was so warn.



New sport steering wheel in designo look.

More to come...

Id dodge the wheel n why did u change the shifter......you should do the full interior in Carbonfiber....with the wheel n shifter...

Chris The Swede

??

You mean you didnt like the designo steering wheel?

Why I change the shifter? Isnt that obvious? Want it in wood like the rest of the interior.

Carbon looks cheap and looks missplaced in a CLS. I had a full original kit but dont want it in a CLS. A CLS should have luxury high gloss wood.

I like the new gearknob in wood!

..but the new sport steering wheel in designo look doesn't seem to flow well, but I see how it matches the upper part of your dash.

Looking forward to your future upgrades!

Chris The Swede

Yeah..I am not sure about the wheel my self..I eighter put a black airbag in thee or look for a beige sport wheel.

M-bENZ

Chris,

Where did you buy your shift knob ?

Andy

Havoc

A beige sport wheel with wood assents would look awesome!

UDWANIT2

I have a Designo Steering wheel n Designo Wood Keyless GO shifter for sale Mint condition only on the car for 26000 KM......pls let me know.....So chris when u say CARBON looks CHEAP why does a AMG charge for a UPGRADE more than wood....in a AMG model for CARBONFIBER....I think Carbon with the Biege would look Crazy .....JUST an Opinion.....Looks good though not different..

Chris The Swede

At Mercedes.

Chris The Swede

Pics of the wheel?

Carbon is MUCH more expensive. Have nothing to do with taste thoug,,

Chris do you still have your old wheel? I bought one off of ebay, but there is a large crack in the clear plastic over the wood grain.

I like the shift knob but not digging the steering wheel at all. I would go back to stock or find a beige Designo wheel.

Chris The Swede

Added a new cover in wood.



New cluster faces. MP3 text from the new comand shows!!



New Comand in place.



The new maps in birdview on the HDD Comand!





Built in DVD-Changer!



So now I did not use the CD-Changer anymore so it is now a sungalss storage.



Finally lowered with the new wheels and carbon lips. Are a bit more lowered than it shows since it is not on a flat ground.





Closeup on the carbon lip.











Here you can see the right hight of the lowering.



Front wheel...



Rear wheel 11" wide.



Carbon inlay in back.

I was wondering how you upgraded your Navigation? I have a 2007 CLS550 and I have been looking at your upgardes and they are awesome. I was also wondering where you got the front and rear carbon fiber lips?


Thanks

Chris The Swede

The coments here are totally missing..Anyone bother at all? Should I even post threads like this?

Chris The Swede

Thanx alot...The navi you can find on ebay and all cables from Kabeldavinko. The carbon comes from ebay.

Chris The Swede

So I add a few more pics and the car is in winter sleep now...I'll see what I do to it when the spring shows up...I need new tires and that cost a fortune here..I might add the facelift taillights..

phat209

Chriss the man!! Have you figured retrofitting the 2008+ CLS LED's yet?? Will be headed to Huskvarna soon hope to catch up!!

Chris The Swede

I will buy them and re-build them to work...Not that hard...And when I have done that I will be offering them..

UDWANIT2

Keep it up Bro........Looks Mint......Quick question the wood cover the cup holders replaces the cup holders....

@Chris... Car looks good! I really like the carbon front lip and the rear inlay. Question....Would you want to sell your old steering wheel?? I've been looking for a woodgrain wheel for quite some time now.

@UDWANIT2... Do you still have your steering wheel for sale? If so, could you send a picture my way?
