Do you realise this means it's worth less than the base car
not more?
Probably why you cannot get any insurance for reasonable money, sorry

these are rare, but do sell for £22k+, and have sold on eBay for the same or more when ever they pop up which is every blue moon. each complete kit fitted is around £9k, and an original BLACK costs second hand £75k+
The debate of whether or not it worth xxxx is not the scope of this thread, i was purely asking for some insurance companies who specialize in modded cars, thanks to the peeps who helped, but for the rest of you - your just jealous
and thats all i have to say about that.....

Ok, so long as you're happy with it. Rest assured I am not jealous. The debate of whether or not it worth xxxx is not the scope of this thread, i was purely asking for some insurance companies who specialize in modded cars, thanks to the peeps who helped, but for the rest of you - your just jealous

I would have a genuine CLK 63 (normal) for the same price in a heartbeat though. The automotive engineer in me cringes when cars with bodykits are called 'replicas' when there is really much much more time, effort, development and investment than just styling in a car - its doing everyone at AMG a disservice. Sorry.
Oh & quoted for posterity before the expected OP delete

Hi,
Really struggling to get my 2004 MERCEDES CLK55 insured, as its a CLK63 (BLACK SERIES) REPLICA and cost thousands and thousands to build, problem is i currently have it insured on a standard policy which would pay out £10,000 if it were stolen, but its worth £25k (i paid £23k) so effectively id loose alot of money if it were nicked..
I tried adrian flux, who were very rude and never called back, same with sky insurance, no one even knows much about the conversion thats been done, feel like im out here in the dark - is there anyone who could help?

actually i agree with you, replica always made me shiver, but in this instance id never be able to afford the real car, and its too tempting not to.. engine wise is very close too, and both AMG's you get the drift I would have a genuine CLK 63 (normal) for the same price in a heartbeat though.
