Photoshoot of my first car - CLS55 - Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridge

X-Vert · 11-07-2009, 03:59 AM

It's almost been a week since I had this car and I'm enjoying it to the fullest. This is my first car that I've owned, so I'm still getting used to the power and trying not to spin the tires from a start because it breaks traction as much as it breaks necks.

Car runs great, but I did figure out it has a bad fuel pump, after beasting on the car for a bit, the SC turns off, gotta restart the car, it only happens once in while though. For a 67K mile car, its in great shape aside from a few minor things that are getting fixed by the dealer when it goes in for service next week, getting the comfort access on the driver door fixed, the IC pump, and belts replaced because they sequel when the car is cold.

Other than that, the interior and exterior of the car is in excellent condition, few tiny dents that will get taken care of. I've seen another CLS550 with 35K miles on it, and it looked worse than mine... the suede is in immaculate condition.

Anyway enough talking, here's a shoot I had today after removing the tint that came with the car, def made the car look like it's worth more, and newer.

I won't be doing any mods till the car is running 100% and every little thing is fixed.

Here you go.

And my companion

Here's what the car looked like prior to the tint removal.

it is most likely your cooling pump that is malfunctioning, not your fuel pump, its a common problem on 55 kompressor cars.

very nice pics, your car look great! what color is that? ive never seen it before.
btw where did u get the pedobear? lol

You car is sick!!! I love the color man good job, can't wait to see what mods you have in store! Based on my own taste I like the look better with the windows tinted, but either way its sexy so good job.

Awesome pictures man. It's good to see you are now enjoying your car like you wanted to!
Get the CM30 IC pump and your SC cutting off problems will vanish

btw look at your 4th pic the inner fender plastic cover sort of looks detached?

Oliverk · 11-07-2009, 07:27 PM

the pictures are great, but they seem to showcase the bridge more than the car. The color doesn't quite pop under those lights.

Either way, enjoy.

Will the dealer warranty the pump or should I just get it and install it myself?

The plastic flap is actually rubber, I just need to pop it in, I hardly had any time to work on the car since I got it.

I also need to remove the entire back deck to clean all the glue that came off the rear window, it's deep inside the shop couldn't get all the way in there.

Definitely agree, not one of my favorite shoots and unfortunately it was my car. lol The lighting conditions were really poor and the bridge was lit up 100x better. I'll snap some nice rolling shots next week.
