WIP: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=977350

This project I spent time about 1 year to finish it. Needed a lot of sanding. I used a lot of parts from SLK & S-Class W140 Tamiya.

The colour is Tamiya TS-45 Pearl White. I also installed the simple LED light system since I managed not to do the interior so I can put AA batteries easily into the body without worrying about space.

The wheels are Fujimi Fabulous Profound 18". I thought it suits well with this car.

The metal transfer emblems are from Hobby Design except "Kompressor" letters are came from SLK Tamiya.

I converted from this one :

Well done. I would'nt have thought the race car would make such a nice street car.

Very nice CLK.

I'm a big fan of Mercs since I work at the Mercedes-benz Portugal.

Should have been great to have some similar wheels to yours as optional equipment when we were selling the CLK's. The white is very popular colour for the E Coupé now.

Great job. Congratulations.

The results are nice, you should weather the chassis a little.
