What do you think of my CLS 55? Sharing pics for the first time

Been on here a few years but never posted pics. Since I just listed it for sale on here, here they are.

Disclaimer - no where near as clean as it should be! Detailing bag is coming out over the bank holiday weekend

Looking good!
I think it would benefit from the 19” Alloys though!

Or maybe some spacers.

I'm actually not a fan of the normal 19 inch w219 alloys at all. They crack often and just don't look special (unpopular opinion perhaps). These 18 inch AMGs (and the split rim similar 19 versions) are my favourite alloys on the W219. They just suit it so well and look timeless. I will be getting them done in anthracite at some point and spacers are definitely on the list (thinking 10mm as lowered).

I think it looks stunning, cracking car a guy round the corner to me has 1. His is silver so not as appealing as yours in black.

Not feeling the headlights, otherwise great!

Cracking car
Drivers seat needs some love and the exhaust tips would drive me mad unless they are cleaned up.
Thats being picky though. Someone will get a lovely motor.

Nope all fair points! The exhaust tips are getting a treatment on the bank holiday weekend detail, as is the full interior.

If I do keep her a bit longer, I'm not sure what colour to do the wheels? Very much love black/anthracite combos, so maybe anthracite. The wheels are in perfect un-kerbed condition so it's just a colour change - but would need to be stripped back/powder coat again. Not a huge fan of normal paint jobs on wheels.

I think she is stunning pal, just the way it is.

That looks a beauty! I like the headlights, really goes with the rest of the cars dark look.

One thing though; what do you mean by “Black Edition homage”? There was no “Black Edition” CLS55?

 

[Jukie]

Am I right in saying you've painted the grille fines black?

Looks moody in black.

Yes was done before my ownership. Same colour code as the rest of the car!

Nope, there was never an official black edition. It's my own creation for now

Yes you are right, spacers just ordered

I love the styling of the CLS. Really caught my eye the first time I saw one.

I do however think it would look better, sleeker and meaner with shallower, wider headlights.

How much is the car?

Looks very nice.
