CLK Black Series
Discussion
I've heard about this, any tips before I try it ? Is it as awkward/painful as it sounds ? Is there a minimum size requirement ..... 
Wtdoom - Noooo! Why?!
To answer an earlier poster, yes I bet it hurt the 1,000 mice they used to ball polish those alloys. Poor little b*stards.
TheJimi - yep I still have Spike. He's been through the wars though and I've struggled to get him road/track worthy for a while now. I think I'm close to the end though, just fitting the new gauges into the dash, new steering wheel and fixing the odd oil leak but should be back on the track soon. Car is now running an omex with throttle bodies inside an airbox and is pushing about 320 bhp but at a lower boost (1.5 bar rather than 1.8).
It would be a difficult day to choose between selling them if I had to, right now there's no chance of me selling any of the cars outside of the S500 which is going up for sale soon. Just don't have the time... that said I can't stop looking at T-5R volvo's... gah.

I love everything EXCEPT the fact they removed the rear seats...
There are plenty of 2 seaters which offer way more fun - the novelty with cars like this is the fact they have back seats/boot making them more usable.
I'm told some people figured-out how to put them back (obviously removing harnesses etc.)??

Hi all, sorry for gate crashing the original thread (beautiful btw) but I am also a proud owner of one of these stunning machines and couldn't resist posting a few pics also, as I never really see people talking about them much. My is LHD (European specs thankfully) as I am currently living in Abu Dhabi. Its in stunning condition, full history and best bit is looks like new underneath as we only have dry weather and smooth tarmac out here : )) first pics are from the dealer I got her and last from my friends work shop (GTEC Motorsports) who stores and polishes her for me.
