sorry about the quality, taken with samsung phone

Looks good buddy! Not too flashy or overstated, could pass for stock but a lot more open with the 5 spoke design. Are they staggered width?

beejAMG

lookin' good! what size are they? is it just the angle or are you missing the left exhaust tip?

smokin_buddha

OEM CLS550 wheels 275 rear tires and 245 front tires on 18 inch wheels. The CLS rear wheels also have a wider looking offset so it looks more staggered then it is.

Both tips are there but they will be off shortly (they are the fake looking tips that have a this unusual design to them) to accommodate dual tips and aftermarket exhaust (chime in if you have recommendation for what mufflers to buy)

colour of car is Midnight Blue....
thanks hoping to buy and slr camera soon, will take better pics then.

beejAMG

have the same fake tips on my E. there are times that I want to just take em out but I guess ill live with it til I decide on the conversion. (E55 muffler)

smokin_buddha

i felt the same way, i want them off but enjoy looking at some kind of exhaust. for me its time to move on, have owned the car for almost a year with the tips, thats a almost a year to long!

AMGAffalterbach

Move on as in with another car or doing some other setup with the tips?

beejAMG

hahaha, I enjoy looking at my car from the rear but it looks awkward from the side coz of the tips.

AMGAffalterbach

W211 looks better from behind than the front IMO, both look great and stately but the lines come together perfect at the back.

beejAMG

+1...I love my W211 so much I wouldnt replace it unless with a W212.

moving on to real exhaust setup, something simple like axle back maybe just borla mufflers, dual AMG tips and go from there

Please post a sound video when you do!

Not a 500 but my Bluetec: Photo of my exhaust Tips.

looks just like mine, its ok from side view but from behind it looks like somethings off in my opinion.

I came out to my car and the CLS was parked beside me, had to take a picture. ; )

Also put the hood ornament back on, any thoughts?

AMGAffalterbach

I think the E-Class is meant to have a hood ornament, looks much better and stately. I think the AMG could go either way. I like it, good looking car buddy.
