I don't like it. Rims are ugly, and are those emblems flat black? At least get black chrome...

and yeah, don't like the tails either.

also looks like it needs a wax.

THose rims are ugly as shit, and they look like they cost maybe $1000 for the set. Should never be seen on such an expensive car

I like the tails though.....

all that car needs is one of these, and it'll be a complete package:





can't understand why people STILL KEEP doing that full black-black-black black-on-black treatment..... yeah... that was really hot.......... IN 1988.

same goes for that Z06 in the other thread..... sorry but that look only reminds me of 3 things, all from the 80's: Knight Rider, the black Toyota pickup from Back to the Future, and all the various Buick "T-Type" models.... things I'd kind of not like to think about when looking at an otherwise bad ass car such as the CL55.

I agree with the group, I'd prefer a stock 55 to these. Just not that good looking with the mods.

That CL is a big coupe. I'm still partial to AMG style wheels though.

This is one of my favorite CLs.

Am I the only one who is still in love with the W140 CL?

ya that W126 coupe owns and so does the W140. Present day benzes may have 600hp but they sure dont make them like they used to. Theres a big difference when you shut the door of a 98 CL500 and a 2000 S500. Pre-2000 benzes are sooo much more solid. the G will always be solid
