CLK55 AMG (C209)
Good morning all. Doug here from North Somerset.
Just bought a CLK55 AMG which I am collecting later this month. I have owned two Mercs previously, a C250 Sport Estate and then a 2013 C350 sport.

Being a lover of V8's I have always coveted the CLK63 Black Series and still believe it to be the best AMG ever made (my opinion of course).
But as I can't afford one of those or a C63 at the moment I decided the nearest thing to it would be the CLK55. These are slowly appreciating so hopefully a good choice.

I look forward to chatting with you all through this medium and hope I can find any answers I will surely have questions for! Here's my car:

Very nice photo and I'm liking the wheels.

Welcome to the forum.
If you are handy with the odd tool you will find this forum is a mine of information for any number of Mercedes car niggles that crop up and can therefore save you some serious money (or if you can't do the job yourself, some good recommendations on fault finding, independent specialists and costs).

Thanks.
I have been on "the spanners" since a young child, grew up in our independent garage and didn't fall far from the tree. Got out of it in 2009 and now sell / train diagnostic and workshop equipment.

Nice CLK!

What year is that? Did you add the facelift grill and rear lights or is the a very late and rare facelift CLK 55?
