2012 Black CLS63TT/HRE 20 Inch P40SC/Day Pics

Disclaimer:

I never take photos nor do I have a good camera but today was nice and gloomy so I figured the weather would help me out. In the past my car was only shot at night and while those pics were cool; they also didnt show the cars lines that well. Now my pics are not great but you will get a better view of the car during the day.

Basic Visual Mods:

KW Lowering Kit
20 inch HRE P40SC's
Tinted Windows
Painted Markers
Vinyl Wrapped Window Trim

Not really all that much to talk about.








And one Wagon Teaser!!!!! It just got a tune too- dumba$$ fast wagon and it launches like an AWD car with that weight bias in the rear.

If they weight like urs I would be happy I need more rubber on the road so I have to go wider Brabus don't seem to offer wider than 9.5" so HRE would take over from there full stop. I got some serious traction issues and next week I will even have more so hopefully they would reduce the traction coming on

19x8.5 tire 245/35ZR19 and 19x11 305/30ZR19 I chose Pirelli PZero Trofeo they are the best non noisy everyday semi slick tires out there. you need them once you go over 600hp no point of the power if you can't put it on the ground!

Black trims and tinted windows look better on the white wagon than on the black cls. I like some contrast. The hre wheels on the cls are gorgeous as they highlight the red brakes. Great pictures.

Vic great job. both of these cars are truly inspirational, they represent how these bad *** benzs' are supposed to look, I have two questions when they wrapped your belt moldings on the doors and drip rail moldings around the windows did they have to remove them to do so? or did they wrap them while they were still mounted? also have you ever considered painting the chrome part of the handles? I very much like the way non key less go cars handles look

Just got my Renntech tune and these continentals suck but also want to stick with 19's. I didn't have a great experience with P zeros on my 219 but they weren't semislicks. How are they for day to day driving and how many miles you getting out of them?

the cls looks so amazing.

i have been looking for a real life example of the chrome around the windows blacked out.

can you tell me what type of place you had to go to get it done? or did you do it yourself? it looks really clean.

and is it doable without removing the trim? (around the windows)



by the way, the wheels would look real cool with the Mercedes wheel caps put on, with everything black except the star.

Great cars Vic, love it. Sick.

I was actually looking at P45SC and how it would look an a W212. In fact, it looks great in black on your E63 wagon.

Well they are excellent day to day driving no noise at all and they hook up real good when warm, I would compare them as good as the R888 except with 50% more miles! You should also know tires will ware dending on your driving not on mine on my first set on the CLS63 295/30ZR19 I got around 10k miles, but I could have gotten more if I had them on 10.5" wide wheels maybe another 5K miles

Great idea! BTW Vic, I was curious to know which of your (fabulous) cars do you enjoy driving the most, the one that puts a smile on your face each time you drive it?

Wow, that Wagon is the show stealer! I REALLY don't like Wagons, but the S212 is just such a well designed Wagon.... it's kind of crazy.
