    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!

      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...)

        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:

                        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...
