Some of you may recall i was the proud owner of a CLS55 AMG which subsequently suffered an engine blow up at the vmax event this year.
Well this is its sucessor, when i first bought it in May i was not that enamoured with the aesthetics, but loved the engine.
After the drive back to birmingham and acid at MSL was kind enough to swap my wheels back over and fit the euroteck front splitter and rear boot spoiler, it was on the way.
The next step was getting it lowered, with links from lower my air ride, however it was only worth doing the front as the back would rub on the tyres
After that the roof was wrapped in carbon by its a wrap in tyseley
With the car lowered the front wheels stuck out to much on the 25mm spacers fro the CLS, so they were switched for 12mm, much better
Next was the fitment of the carbon roof spoiler from Taiwan (ebay) and switch the star for a flat AMG badge, also china based.
Finally the long wait for the euroteck rear diffuser was over and it was fitted at MSL, the bumper had to come off and it was fitted with both screws and adhesive, that things never coming off.
Only thing left to do now is paint the calipers, I have both red and yellow paint, bit of indecision going on in my head
Anyhoo, here are the pics
I borrowed acids black grille to see what it would look like,
I quite like it, i found on in metal rather than plastic, but its in the USA and they are out of stock 'till July, so i'll have to wait
Anyway thanks for looking, like it or hate it, i don't much care, i like it, though its grown on me rather than the wow that my CLS had
