Ok, I would like your feedback. rebadge the trunk...

with my KD box tuning I was thinking to add the "Kleemann" letters on the back or another suggestion.

here are my two choices as they would sit on my trunk...


1.
Kleemann.....................................CDI

2.
E 320K........................................CDI


so as you can see the first ides would be to removethe E320 all togher and replace with the Kleemann lettering.

the second choice would kist to add a K to the end of the E320.

My preferance is the first one.

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
I would just completely de-badge. If that is not an option - I would go with "kleeman" lettering only.

Tough one...

I like the Kleeman
I think the CDI is absolute
But letting the competition know it just got smoked by an E320 is priceless...

[--)E320< ........................... CDI(--]

i think that the kleeman only lettering is trying to be something more than what you are.

i like that you have the kleeman though.

cant say what i would do right now, but i would definately not just have it say kleeman across the back!

how about stock on the back and a red K on the sides where KOMPRESSOR goes on the 55? i dont know the color of you ride either...

keep us updated.

CDIK in red maybe? maybe not, all i see is DICK rearranged...

OPPSS... it was < I meant K


yep E320K will look sweet


on second thought... you could put the Kleeman logo in the center in place of the MB symbol...

Less is more and when you whoop your competition they will be wondering if you have more HP... hehehe

Why say you have something, that you have not really got?

A full Kleemann conversion warrants Kleemann badge, and a supercharger warrants a 'K' ??

320CDI says it all. In fact I wonder how many people you overtake do not know that the CDI is a diesel powered vehicle??

Why not buy one of those lighted taxi signs and mount it on the roof...a blinking one would be nice...

Seriously...keep it stock and let it be a "sleeper" Don't mess with perfection.

Myself, I would leave the car the way it is.

I would love to have a Kleeman supercharger though, just afraid of warranty issues.. To bad the thing couldn't be turned on with the push of a button.
BHP: 506 @ 5800 rpm Max. Torque: 675Nm @ 2000-6000 rpm

and that is the 5 speed.

Looks good, but....

You need a personalized license plate enclosed in a weatherproof chrome frame. How about....." DIESEL" or...."KLEEMN" ?

I tend to agree. Both of your options listed are "poser" options IMO. You do not have a Kleeman engine, and you do not have a supercharger (kompressor).

Its not like I have a Kleemann shift knob or something. It has a Kleemann tune on it.

Ehh, I like it...

I agree with some of the other responses and would keep it a "sleeper" myself.
