So, some of you may know me from the W124 project/rebuild that I still haven't finished yet after 2,5 years...
(if you don't; I don't blame you because progress is damn slow and somewhat boring)

Well, I got myself this 2002 CLK500 as a daily in February this year.

Yes. a 5.0 v8 as a daily doesn't sound like a great plan. And it probably isn't. But I was planning on keeping it stock anyway.

Yep.
You saw that right.
It has a freaking towbar
![Confused](https://stanceworks.com/forums/core/images/smilies/confused.png)
Oh well. At least it's a removable one
![Smile](https://stanceworks.com/forums/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
So that's what I did. I removed it... (4*) klick*

Oh by the way: See those exhaust tips on the right?
THEY ARE FUCKIN FAKES
![Shifty](https://stanceworks.com/forums/core/images/smilies/shifty.gif)
Actually they were real. But the connection tube running behind the rear bumper had to be disconnected due to the installation of that freakin towbar

Yep. THE PO HAD AN ORIGINAL CARLSSON EXHAUST SYSTEM CUT TO PIECES SO HE COULD FIT A TOWBAR

I heard he hauled his speedboat with this thing.
And apparently he drives a W221 S-class now because he couldn't fit inside the CLK anymore.
First world problems...
After this I removed the hideous LED strips below the headlights (7*) klick*:
