Wheels are off a CLK BS (black series) and yes that is an E63 front end.

Having said that, if you have a few days, some patience and feel like investing the 3-500 in supplies, you could come to the detailing and car care clinic we are going to put on at Larz Anderson. We will be paint correcting a 355 GTS

Save yourself alot of coin and have your **** always looking crisp, not to mention the pride of DIY.

On that note, Denroll-car looks awesome esp the before/after!
I recommend the flex3401 for the benz cars that are 2005 and later. The cerami-clear coat is tough to cut & correct with the basic porter cabele 7424. I've attempted to cut/correct the the wife's silver CLK but alas, it didn’t work. I had to pull out the flex 3401.

It looks like the guy who did Denrolls car used the combination of the Megs 105/205 & orange pads. I see it on the shelf in the back in the pic below and to my suprise I see a porter cable? Looks good nevertheless!!

No, Just `Digital Tuning` ECU upgrade, cat removal and BMC F1 air filter but don't think filter will effect 100-200 . Don't even have pulley Yes its running faster than normal

Don't stand there too long - your image will 'burn in" the paint and require buffing, wetsanding or even paint respray!

I dont think Ruby red looks sick at all, but depending on far along your car is, you can change it. Though, your red is not going to be some Corvette like red interior, its very dark, I've seen it.
