CLS 500 mods advise needed - come here!
Hey guys,
I will be getting my CLS 500 next week, and I have been reading extensively about modifications (won't mod my engine), here's my list of top mods, please feel free to add mods or discard any of the ones I mentioned:
- RENNTECH ELM V2 (bought)
-Brake upgrade, bigger/slotted rotors + bigger calipers... Advise needed on this, currently considering the DCTMS' AMG brake upgrade.
-Wheels:
Should I get the 19" CLS55 OEM wheels or a set or 20" Monoblock VI??
-Should I get a spoiler for the CLS front bumper or should I just get a used CLS55 AMG front bumper?
-Best diffuser for the CLS rear bumper?
All advise is highly appreciated!

AMG is played out........pick a tuner....all 08 n up Mercedes offer the option of AMG as a add on....
you will need a MEC or CLS 55/63 rear bumper......
If u need 19 in AMG CLS 55 wheels let me know i have 2 sets 1 in chrome n 1 in Silver.....if resonable i can sell 1 set...

I love the Brabus rocket front bumper... But it is VERY expensive (for a bumper)... Should I just do an AMG front bumper?
What is MEC?
Sure, I'll take your silver set, do you have it with good tires?, how much?
How much did u pay for ur BBK?
PS: by "silver", do u mean OEM paint?

if i was u i would do WALD.....but pricey......but its the only tuner that has a full skirt kit n changes the look...
n Yes silver OEM wheels means factory look.....front tires r 80 % rears r shot.....looking for 1600 plus shipping...
reason im saying go with a tuner so u dont have parts laying around the house from ur stock car....ie Bumpers n what ever u plan to change....with a kit its add on...
but your choice....Get the AMG if u like thats the main look n everybody n there mothers has it.....
