No. I'm not going to Rocket Bunny this shit ( CLK Benz content )

[loekaaz]

I got the wheels back from the repairer (had to redo a shabby performed weld and had to get them straightened on all fours).







Somehow they did not weld the small curb rash spots. So I had to sand them down by hand. That sucked. But I managed to pull it off. And the results aren't that bad if you ask me
(except one spot as you can see below)





Dat weld....








The ugly spot:




That same ugly spot after some sanding and soft grinding: (still ugly though)






random shots:










LOL. Donk.













Inner barrels after sanding:





Inner barrels after paint:
















Then I tried something I may regret on doing.
Let's hope I don't anymore when I finalize my plan....














They still need some proper polishing. But that will come later.
First: Tires!

[loekaaz]

Picked up the wheels this morning from the tire shop:


It seemed that I was very excited




Fronts are some whacky Sunny tires in 235/35/R19 that came with the rear wheels. They are comfy, silent and zero wobbles. But they lack serious road-feel. Will replace them at some stage.

Rears are newly ordered Kumho Ecsta LE SPORT KU39's in 265/30/R19.
Now these are tires I would reccommend to anyone, They grip like mad, are somewhat sturdy/harsh but have good road feel and are silent.
(6.000 km side note: These tires don't really have a long life span. I'm nearly halfway through them. And I didn't really beat them THAT hard...)

[loekaaz]

Wheels are fitted!


Go enjoy my potato's


























some 'boulevard at night'-shot











Thanks for watching.

I'm out...
































NINJA POST EDIT:

I fucked up the paint on the calipers:








First thought:

"Bam! HAMMERITE"


















Second thought:

"HammerWRONG HammerSHITE HammerKOCKSUCKINGFUCKSHITTYBULLOCKS!!"
























NOTE TO SELF:

# Never combine Hammerite with Motip spraypaint.









So I had to redo everything. That sucked. Even then it started to react at some spots. But I didn't care anymore....


























Holy moly wheel gap!

Fitting a W204 diffuser on a W209 AMG bumper - part 1

YEEESSS! IT'S BACK!





A couple op weeks ago I scored a W204 C63 AMG carbonfiber diffusor

You know. One like this.



#GRANNYSWAG





This is what I'm aiming for:












Aaaaaaaand THIS is what I've been rolling with thus far... :








Tips on the left: those are actually real ones.
Tips on the right: disconnected and fake.
Because (like I've said in the beginning of this thread) the PO had a towbar installed...
#RETARDALERT












To continue the story;
My brother in law has this red C4 vette that sporadically shows up in my pictures.
That same Corvette has a set of mufflers, almost the same size of his taillights.

(No pictures of them mounted though, because he always drives without them #REDNECK)









He wants to fabricate a complete stainless system under there.
But he wants to keep the mufflers (with smaller tips) for MOT to pass dB-testing.



So then we did some choppings:











With Sander (Brolli21) I removed the Carlsson tips that were welded () onto the CLK:




#insert-BRRRAAAPAPAPAPAPAAA-noise#





After that I went to France for work for two weeks.
Sometime during those two weeks, I received the following pictures from my brother in law....




















Like:













And now I can hear you think;



"Why are you not fitting those Carlsson tips with the diffuser??"







































This is why:











Because it's the size that matters









So.

This is what I basically had in mind:























A PLAN WAS MADE THAT DAY.
















Then we came to the first problem. The lift was already taken....
Blegh! BMW's....








So then I lifted it oldschool with a jack.
Ah. Good ol' memories...












Then I did some raving and shaving...













In a different context ofcourse....



















Then comes that moment you realise that you just put the hacksaw into a genuine AMG rear bumper....

Quite

#BALLSY

or

#RETARDED

not sure yet....

















Diffuser testfit:













I will try to permanently fit it with some 2K heavy duty industrial shit this weekend





I'll keep you guys posted.



Cheers!

Fitting a W204 diffuser on a W209 AMG bumper - part 2

2-K industrial glue






Started prepping the bumper.

This shit hardens in one single freaking minute. So I needed some extra hands of both my brother in law and my dad to keep shit in place and install the clamps.






(I'm so sorry for the vertical pictures )




RESULT:


























NEXT:






Fitting it on the car....











Again, my apologies for the dark pictures. It was late and I was in a hurry to get back to France last night. You'll get better pics soon






Then, out of my previous post:

So.

This is what I basically had in mind:

Well.... Turns out, it looks kinda retarded. This would make me look like the average North African drug dealer from Amsterdam













Like,





















A NEW PLAN WAS MADE THAT DAY

























To be continued...
