2008 Mercedes Benz CL w/ full Lorinser Pkg, 22" Forgiato 3-pc, and a drop. :)

Just curious how many here like or dislike this type of modded Luxo-Coupe?

Why or Why Not?

And I'm sure u already know my answer... "Thank u sir may I have another!" :eek2::thumbup::thumbup::eek2:
I absolutely l o v e how they did away with the B Pillar and it's this loooong looking wedge of glass (actually 2 pieces). Just absolutely, positively, stunningly, crazily, insanely N I C E!!!

That would be practical for Beverly Hills.

The wheels on the 2nd one look okay. As far as the kit is concerned, it's a bit gaudy for my tastes. I'd prefer the AMG bodykit over the Lorinser anyday.

new CL is ugly, surprising that someone would actually copy the 6 series down syndrome

Wow that's pretty funny... LOL!

This car in this form would easily draw as much attention and curbside appeal as any Exotic, believe that. ;)

Both wheels are pretty nice. That first one is more aggressive looking though:eek2:

I've seen the new cl in person and won't bash it too much:p.
Don't like that hideous front grill and acura RL/CL taillight.
I love the old 215, much more sleeker:thumbup:

not feeling the kits at all.

between the two sets of wheels, the first one is better imho

I would not have chosen them myself, not fond of the spokes
As far as the kit is concerned, it's a bit gaudy for my tastes. I'd prefer the AMG bodykit over the Lorinser anyday.+1 :agreed: :thumbup:, I think the AMG body kit is still the best choice over the others.

+1 The current one is ok, but I much prefer the previous generation of this car.

The kit is a bit much for my taste but I do like the wheels on the first car.

The Lorinser kit's are going downhill but the CL is pretty sick. It's growing on me, I think I'm starting to like it over the previous.
As for the wheels, it depends on the kit.

In the first configuration... absolutely.

Not focusing on any one part the car looks sick.

Looking at the details, the kit is so so.

I am sure if it was rolling by it would look hot.

The Lorinser kits have become gaudy as of late. The front bumper seems ok, the fender vents :thumbdn: the lower rocker :thumbdn: rear bumper :thumbup: most my aversion is the fender vents.

Its something how MBZ tail lights are looking more and more like the Japanese imports.

Nice show car but too gauddy for everyday driving.

I'd buy it then sell it and buy a W124 E500 and a W210.

I spoke to the owner of this car at a gas station next to my house. The work is done by 310 motoring and its not just body work either. The car sounds absolutely wild.

I wouldn't touch the first pic with a ten foot pole. You might as well take of the Mercedes badge.

I'm not that crazy about the Forgiato wheel line. They have 2 models I would consider but not either of these. I've seen them in person many times and I'm not feeling them. As for the kit, it's a little extreme but at least it's on a coupe instead of a sedan. I can deal with it. A better set of wheels and we're ready to go.

Just give me a stock CL63. I hate aftermarket junks.

I actually like the style of the new CL, I've never been a fan of Lorinser products. Makes the car look cheap sorry to say. On the other hand Brabus and Wald...their designs are a lot more appealing and convey a lot more class.

I would drive it.

I think it's one of the better looking cars coming out of Germany these days.

I like the AMG kit much more, but I think the CL is definately a hot car:thumbup:
