Yours needs to be lowered about 1.5 inches.

cantdriveonly55 · 08-17-2006, 04:21 PM

Looks very nice. Lowered, cover the orange side reflector, and do silver brake calipers. then you have a pretty convincing and good looking car. not that it isnt already.

Nice ride man. Thats what I always liked about the CLK500, it has the same aggressive style as the 55.

TA-9FF · 08-17-2006, 07:05 PM

Looks the same for me, except for the different front bumper.

It's the same with a 06 C230 SS and an 03 C32 AMG; they look exactly the same on the outside. The only difference is in the interior and the engine.

That's pretty close! I say upgrade to 18s (like we talked about before), drop it at least 1" or 1.5" max and tint the back windows.

I thought the W209 CLK55's came with the double spoked amg's....???

buzz888 · 08-17-2006, 10:58 PM

where would i get clear side markers from? how much?

If i get 18" double spoke wheels, do i have to lower it? (more $$)

Nah, you don't have to lower it. But lowering it does give it a more aggressive stance and handle better as well (along w/ H&R sways). Yes, it will cost a lot more $$$$. But then again, if you go w/ 18s, you gotta buy new tires as well. That upgade is pricey by itself, although you could sell the 17s and get some money back.

Get color matched markers at evosport for around $80. Way worth the money!

Yeah...I was gonna say that. The CLK55 shouldn't have those rims. They should have the double spoke AMG rims. Maybe thats not a CLK55 in the top picture?

it said clk55

Highend · 08-21-2006, 03:09 AM

Muahah yeah...spend $80 on colored reflectors, makes sense.... You can get your stock ones painted for $25, exactly what evosport does, take amber ones and paints them. And the difference between evo sports and having yours painted?? You dont get bent over when u hand over the cash.

I'm sure it is a CLK55....it just doesn't have the correct rims from the factory....at least the ones that come here to the states. Look at my sig pic. Those are the rims that come stock.
