From CLS55 to S550....

I finally went from power/sport to luxury last night. I sold my tricked out CLS last year after having a great dea of fun with it but decided last night that my next project would be the S550. I stared at Mobsteel's car for a little bit to long and am going to take some ideas from that as well as some things that I have in my head and create a sinister ride. The car is stock right now but not for long......





Here is my CLS......

A bit of advice. You must do the quad exhaust. If possible with the Carlsson rear apron. It just makes the car look like it's breathing fire. That really sets the car off. I will pull up beside a "stock" S550 and that alone makes it look completely different. Then you have the wheels of course and trunk spoiler plus, plus, etc., etc. But the true quad exhaust sets it off. Good luck

Polished wheels as opposed to chrome is a personal preference too. Polished makes it looks strong/racey rather than "Bling". Especially if you can do the 3-piece.

Your car gave me a great deal of motivation.

They are Vellano VSH 20's courtesy of Charles at Wheelautohaus. The S550 is a much different car! A land yacht! I expect that I can make it suit my style very easily........ low, dark, and long.

i had a CLS55 2 years ago and in between my X5 now to an S550......the interior space is night and day between the MB's. I dont race during the day ;-) so it was a no brainer. Im looking at a Backdraft or ERA Cobra for that. You will definitley enjoy.
