I wish someone would do Mercedes a favour and kill A R T tuning because they've wrecked other cars aswell.

It doesn't look too bad from the side...though there's more vents and scoops than what I'd prefer. And maybe different wheels. And maybe an actual AMG DTM car...


I rate this car...meh images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Doh!! images/smilies/blush.gif (We need a slap head smilie...). I'll use the excuse that I was temporarily stunned by those images...

It's still revolting wrong on a CLS (though I'm not a big fan of CLS in any case)

(I probably someday will regret what I'm saying now, but...)

1. I'm not particular keen on the Merc CLS's looks in general - saw one on the motorway yesterday, and especially at distance from the back it seems like somebody lowered the roof along with the good looks of the car somehow, also the side windows are too tiny in proprtion to the car. Question of taste anyway, I have to admit.

2. I think all the modifications are an improvement on the car somehow, I like the rims, the front and the interior but wouldn't open the hood to brag with the red coloured engine block. The spoiler's a question of personal preferences again, but as the car suggests to be a coupe it's acceptable as are the air scoopes because they distract from the fact that the doors ar too big for the windows (or the other way round) - the only thing wrong now is that it's wearing the Mercedes badge instead of a Japanese which would suit the car in this shape definitely better.
