Just a few of goodies for my cls 55 amg

[italian_cls55amg]

For a while I've wanted new alloys for my cls 55 amg. So after months of searching i bought myself these Projex (kr647r) 19" deep dish alloys. 20mm hub centric spacers are on the rear and 15mm are on the front.
I also went and got a carbon front lip, carbon rear diffuser and a black and chrome 3 fin grille which im so happy with.
I was happy with the standard look but i just wanted it to have a more aggressive edge to the car. I'm yet to lower it but will be doing so soon via a star machine. May tint the rear windows but still undecided about that.

Carbon front lip with and rear diffuser was all fitted by my local Mercedes specialist bodyshop. Front lip was done using 3M Mounting Tape plus around 10 screws was drilled in underneath to secure. Rear diffuser was completely stuck on using a very strong windscreen adhesive plus a few screws was put in place underneath. A black silicone sealant was used to go over some of the edges around the rear diffuser too. Both are on firmly and again very happy with the work.

Here are some pictures

Loving the Carbon. Where did you buy it from? I'm looking at options for my E63 but everythings either too expensive or not quite what I'm looking for.

I bought both my carbon bits off this seller on ebay. Not sure if this person does it for the E63 but worth a look. Both came within 1 week even though it said estimated delivery was in 6 weeks. Both came very well packaged. Paid £320 for the front lip and £280 for the rear.

Here is a link to a guy installing the rear diffuser on his cls.

As you can see they all come like that. I guess that's how they are made for this car. Looks much better in the flesh than the pictures trust me, but yes the front lip is a great look.

Lovely car. Congratulations. The rear wheels look a little lost in the wheel arch for me.

Once i lower it, it will be more flush into the arch but yes you're right.

Maybe use some spacers too, to bring them out

I have got spacers on them.
20mm on the rear and 15mm on the front. Wanted to keep it close to the standard set up as possible. This is how my original 19" alloys looked. Will upload a picture once i lower the car.

Would you mind measuring how far out the lip extends and also need low it is against the actual bumper?

Need to see if mine will clear the speed bumps along my road as I've had mine lowered.

I love that front lip

Front lip looks good, i also have it fitted to my cls but now need a replacement after damaging it.

I also bought the rear diffuser but having trial fitted it i felt it just didnt suit the car, just didnt look rite. I still think the rear needs a diffuser but maybe a different style

I agree that it definitely needs a rear diffuser but unfortunately i only saw one make for it.
Some may like it, some may not....i love it.

Nice job. Liking the wheels too and they'll look better once you lower it a little.

Here is some measurements for you mate.

The maximum the lip extends out:



The minimum it extends out:
Centre of the lip



The lip drops down only 1 inch from the original bumper.

Was just thinking as you have lowered yours which if i remember its done via the star machine, couldn't you go over speed bumps in comfort mode then drop it back down to sport 2 after? Im sure they would have kept the other settings for comfort and sport 1 and gave sport 2 the new calibration settings?

Here is my ground clearance in sport 2:
I clear all speed bumps.

Brilliant, thanks!

I have speed humps that are in the centre of the road around me and I have to straddle them. I *just* clear it at the moment, the lowest point of the car is the Diff cooler, however with a lip its going to be very very close at the front also
