Hey guys, I picked up my matte Alanite '12 CLS63 PP about a month ago now and decided to go all in from the get go. The car is currently at the dealership getting the finishing touches put on but my SA sent me this teaser pic, so I thought I'd share. I will take some better photos as soon as I get it back.
I'm really happy with the look of the car. It's a nice balance between a little show and a little go. I will provide a more in-depth review on the mods in the next few weeks once I get to spend more time in the car.
Phase 1 mods (pictured):
-Eurocharged Tune (shout out to Jerry for taking care of me so quickly!)
-Weistec Spark Plugs (shout out to Zach for the amazing customer service!)
-Resonator removed and replaced with straight pipes
-K&N Filters
-Vorsteiner FF-102 in Gunmetal (20x9, 20x11 with 255 and 305 Hankook V12's)
-H&R Sport Springs
-Evolution Lowering Links
-Smoked Reflectors
Phase 2 mods:
-Gloss Black badges (en route)
-Gloss black wrapped window trim, front grille and trunk lid
-Paint matched wrapped front reflectors

I use K&N's on mine too... They work great. I just replace them when a normal filter needs replacing instead of cleaning and oiling them. It prevents the over oiling issue.

I'm running bmc oil filter in my sls. But I ordered dry. The oil is bad for the maf sensors
When do you get it back? I want to see how it sits on sport springs... Might just cancel my order for coilovers since they are taking forever!
Hopefully Friday or Saturday. They are repainting the front bumper as it had been re-sprayed before and didn't match to my liking. There were also a few mechanical issues like the rear cargo tray lid and sunroof cover not staying closed under acceleration. Oh and they gave me the wrong 2nd key!

Ah yes, the damn sunroof cover drives me nuts! Let me know if they fix that and I'll bring mine in. lol
Congrats on the beast and the transformation. Wheels look cool and will fit well with the blacked out trim.
Nice chatting with you and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else.

Thanks E! I didn't want to do an exact copy of your car, so I thought I'd mix it up a little! Hoping everything comes together nicely when I finally see it in person.
Adding another teaser pic before all the chrome gets deleted for gloss black. I should have the car back on Friday and then I will take some more official pics.
looks nice, that chrome trim will be a lot nicer when it's done
Black interior with piano black trim. Obviously wanted CF but could not find an Alanite car locally that had it.
Next step is RW Carbon CF rear diffuser, RW Carbon standard CF front lip and Vorsteiner CF trunk spoiler.
Also, the dealership offered to black out my exhaust tips with high temp paint but I decided against it. I worried the tips would lose their "pop" if they were black. Plus if I don't like it then there's no going back! lol.
