Could look like this.... hopefully those black plastic front pieces can be ordered in carbon fiber, along with other interior/exterior pieces to complete the look....

I don't think the Black Series will share any body pannels with the regular car at all. Wheel arches are totallu different, not simply enhanced current design. Also, front scoop (area behind front wheel) on the BS looks more ala Carrera GT than SL.

CLK63 Black Series
I would really be disappointed if this is what the car actually will look like.

I hope this is merely someone's PhotoShop exercise . . .

I kind of like it, but am disappointed to see the vented hood on the test car didn't make it into the production unit. I do hope this is a photoshop'd piece and not the real thing.

This is an artists impression.

The real Black/Signature series will have the safety car bumper, wheel arches, hood vents, etc.
