Gulzar Edition Mercedes CLS63 AMG....let the pimping begin!!
Discussion
2012 car was fully loaded every single optional extra except performance pack, night vision and keyless go. Immediate plans are tinted windows, paint brake callipers red, gold plate all chrome on car (around window sills, badge on front etc) and gold chrome wrap whole car except bonet, roof and boot lid which will be either carbon print, satin black or satin white... still deciding. Will also change #AMG badge on rear to #OMG so trying to buy an "O" badge online in merc front lol
Is anyone familiar with a guy by the name of Manny Khoshbin? He is a successful property tycoon in USA with a Mansory customized Black/Gold Bugatti. If you look closely at his gold bits....

They dont seem to be real gold plated like my Phantom was or the Bentley rims etc...but still a fantastic finish and I think would be a hell of a lot easier to do. Any ideas how his are done? Looks too "rich" to just be a paint job...or is it? Ideally would love to have his tint of gold all over this one.
And thanks so much for the photoshopping Beefmeister! Could you do the same with satin white down the middle and perhaps white rims? lol

Trying to order a front lip from China to make the front a little more "edgy"....cost approx £400
And also trying to order a more aggressive carbon rear diffuser.....cost about £600
Both prooving slightly difficult to import but working on it with a friend of mine in China, could be delivery in 30 days.

I've been able to negotiate both parts I posted above for £750 from China with extra £250 for 5 day delivery, £1000 total. Am still working on closer to £850 all in price... if anyone else is interested in above too I'm sure you can jump in on same price, perhaps even lower..

I'm sorry but 690bhp!?!?! WOW!!! I bet that thing destroys all kinds of supercars (when it stops spinning its wheels)!
Does the remap also remove the 155mph limiter?
Yea bud I've raced a Bentley GT Speed so far with about 0-60 at 4.0seconds if im right and the CLS completly obliterated it lol. Trying to arrange a race with my friend's C63 to test the engines because that'll be a good indication both being RWD. Top speed taken off with remap.Does the remap also remove the 155mph limiter?
lool!
Another idea if anyone is able to do some photoshopping for me..!
White gloss rims... white down centre of car bonet/roof/boot with gold either sides of car..?
Have booked Friday 1st November for wheels on car (stock) to be painted either white or black gloss (still deciding) and brake callipers to ferrari red. Ordered diffuser and front lip should be here by between 8-15th November ! Once Ive got an idea for the wrap colours theres space first week of November and im still trying to source some kind of C63 black series spoiler for the CLS lol. Deciding on keeping the stock rims/tyres for now as theres just too much power and I cant afford to mess around with new 20" rims with lower profile tyres as we're approaching winter....unless a cracking deal comes along lol.

Danny I've tried that before and the most terrible mistake is to cover a car (or bike......this previously happened on my R1) with different shades of gold. Almost impossible to get it shiny chrome gold like the rest of the car so red is the easy (and sexier than stock black) solution.
DannyScene said:
Ah yes I remember your R1 and see your point, just not sure red is the way to go but if not red then what, perhaps white?
Do you still have all your previous cars? ie the Lambo, Bentley and Range Rover?
Nope sold the Phantom quite awhile ago, sold the Bentley last year, sold the Lambo recently and still have the range rover and bought this!Do you still have all your previous cars? ie the Lambo, Bentley and Range Rover?

Out of curiosity Gulzar, if you don't mind me asking.
Do you have to return these cars to standard before you sell them, or do you just sell them for much less than they are worth?
Or come to think of it, there is the third option of waiting for that one other potential buyer who has the same taste as you?
Despite all the criticism lol I never return cars to stock not a single bit! I sold the Phantom within 48 hours of the advert going up at £4k below asking price which I was completly happy with. Bentley I sold at asking price within 3 months. Lambo was advertised for almost 10 months on and off...and when I didnt have an advert up and decided to keep it for another summer, someone managed to find my telephone number and we struck a deal we were both happy with. The Lambo LP640 was my all time personal favourite car but was so uncomfortable, loud and inconvenient to drive I was almost happy to let it go... Now that I've just started playing with this Merc CLS which is just one year old, RIGHT HAND DRIVE! lol. new invoice price which I have was £104k but I paid £50k for it, massage and cooling seats with every luxuary known to man and now faster than the lambo, higher top speed probably between 210-220mph and dare I say sounds better... what more can a man ask for lol.Do you have to return these cars to standard before you sell them, or do you just sell them for much less than they are worth?

Much appreciated beef!
Bored have thought about it and you never know for the future lol. But if I did it, I couldnt do it half hearted and would need 100% from me.... plus wrapping facility, bodywork specialists, engine tuners, servicing, alloys, gold plating, the lot which would need a huge investment in a site/equipment.
