SL65 Interior MODS
Well, it took the installer 9 hours, but he did a good job. This is OEM CF door and center piece, also bought CF knob (picture didn't show up well), and it matches perfectly. Had Ipod adaptor installed, also works with my Iphone, and changes too. Bought an OEM Bluetooth puck, it just snapped into place, however, the installer snagged the harness wiring when he was drilling and pulled the wires out. Need a new hardness, then the Bluetooth will work.
Installed 6000K HID and mirrored parking lights and changed all interior lights to LED as well as the lic plt lights.
I ordered a CF rear spoiler and clear side markers, I'll post pictures as soon as I have them installed.
Removed the mufflers and went with straight pipes, sounds amazing but not as loud as my CLK BS.
Next up, CLK BS CF steering wheel.

Close up pictures of my CF knob I bought from DTC. Keep in mind, this is a custom CF Knob and the CF weave matches the OEM CF perfectly. Nice job, I highly recommend them. I'm going to be purchasaing a CF CLK BS steering wheel from them.

Yes, I like the all cf knob better, but this is what they had in stock and did not want to wait for the all cf knob and I had the installer scheduled. Yes, I'm planning on the cf wheel, but I'll be looking to buy the clk bs wheel, also looking to buy cf side mirror covers and I already bought the cf spoiler ( I am a cf junky, that's one thing I like about my clk bs, it comes stock with a lot of cf goodies!)

2007 Väth SL65 AMG. 2007 BMW Alpina B5s. 2007 BMW M6.
Goes nicely to your lighter (than mine) interior!
And with 9 hours, I bet it's made with love...
You're mensioning 6000 HID bulbs for plate lights. That has that xenon-look, right..?
I want that too!
But how does that work, without lighting the "broken-bulb-lamp" on the cluster..?
I mean, because of the different watts, the car thinks it's broken...
BTW, did you speak with the customs about why they snatched your package..?

Well, never found out why customs put a hold on my package. I think you misunderstood what I was saying about the 6000 HID bulbs, these replaced the stock HID 4300 "headlight" bulbs, although HID for lic plate would be cool.
SUNIR, yes, I know a lot of the CF isn't real CF, although everything I've purchased is.
