Up for sale is a tastefully and heavily modified, 2006 CLS 55 AMG. This is an amazing car that has all the luxuries and comfort of a top of the line Mercedes as well as spectacular performance characteristics. There are many modifications throughout the interior, exterior, and engine that combine to make this quite an experience. You can show up at the valet and park next to a Bentley, and get on the highway and blast away a Z06. This car has been driven as a daily for the past few years by me and the previous owner. Owned by Mercedes enthusiasts with all maintenance performed on schedule. As with any used car there are some small issues with it that I will highlight in each section. These are all new pictures, nothing to hide here FULL Disclosure. I have 2 key fobs, the original books and sale papers.
Everything described below has pictures:
Exterior
This car is quite stunning looking and always catches the eyes of people on the road. The exterior is wrapped in 3M White Satin (matte) wrap. The gargantuan brakes are painted gold with black AMG writing. The wheels are powder coated Ferrari Grey. The wheels are also all 19x9.5 (not staggered), 4 brand new tires (305/30/ZR19 in rear, 255/36/R19 in front). The roof is wrapped in black as well as the front grill and the air vent on hood. The spoiler is carbon fiber. There is full tint on the car. There are custom exterior lighting on the license plate and side mirrors (which are also black). The front side markers are covered in the white wrap. The back lettering is blacked out. Proxima Lowering module installed (by previous owner I never used)
As far as negative, the wrap is peeling in various locations, as well as small stains in the wrap. Overall the wrap looks great. To mitigate this I have approximately 20 ft of the wrap still in my garage which is included with the sale. Personally I wouldn't change the wrap at all and it probably has some decent life left. If you don't like the wrap, underneath there is beautiful Mercedes Silver paint.
Interior
The interior of this car is one of a kind and will impress any passenger you have. To begin the entire inside is wrapped in carbon fiber. The steering wheel is upgraded P30 with the suade inserts. There is a custom ipad integration in the glove box. There is valentine K1 radar available. There is harmon kardon factory system with a custom alpine kicked box and subwoofer control on seat. The instrument cluster has been upgraded to the 200MPH cluster. The navigation disk has been upgraded to 2014.
As far as negative, the automatic truck doesn't work (you need to close manually). There is a small hole in the passenger front seat (from a ladies heel). Some of the massaging seat features don't seem to work although I never use them. The sun roof works great, heated seats, every other interior feature works fine along with the other seat features.
Performance
This car is an absolute beast. On C mode and driving easy, it can be a nice daily. But when you want, this car is a MONSTER. The 5 speed transmission is very responsive. You can hit 60 mph in first gear in under 4 seconds. There isn't many cars on the road that can stand a chance.
Okay onto the modifications. There was a newly installed 5 piece idler pulley set as well as a custom Belt wrap kit. The ECU and TCU were custom tuned by Eurocharged performance as well as upgraded supercharger pulley. The exhaust has the resonators deleted for a nice AMG sound that isn't loud until you really hit it, then it sounds great!

It's not perfect by any means... there are a few minor blemishes on the wrap. There is a small burn hole in teh passenger seat. Some of the custom lighting will twitch sometimes. Some of the wrap is peeling barely at certain corners. I do have a bunch of extra wrap I will sell with the vehicle.
