Mercedes CLS55 AMG
New member from across the "pond"
Hi,
I have been an owner of a Mercedes since buying my first one in 2000, a W202 C230K (Prefacelift 1997), loved it so much and longing for more performance and the rumble of a V8 I then bought a 1998 C43 AMG in 2007. I carried out a 55 engine conversion, and retro fitted every possible factory option (I think) to it. This I had till October 2014 when I was involved in a motorway pile up which saw its demise
With the payout from insurance when it finally came through and really missing the AMG I sought the C43's replacement and decided on a 219 CLS55 AMG 2006 model (806 code).
I have already used some of the forums members/vendor's, buying a full alloy pulley set, Belt wrap kit and CF Front splitter.
Here is a few pics of my 202 55 AMG and of the CLS 55 AMG.
And the CLS

Welcome to MBWorld! Sorry to hear about your loss, but that cls55 is a great landing spot!
Let us know if we can help you out with lighting upgrades. We've done several cls and the whiter lighting really goes a long way towards modernizing her looks.
