I'm sorry but...

Dislike the overall exterior apperance, why did they have to put red colouring around the wheels?

Why can't these tuners just stop smoking whatever they're smoking?

Looks disgusting. What a way to ruin a CLS.

I agree wimmer, looks like something a 5-year old would enjoy looking at.
In truth the CLS doesn`t need to be flashed out as much as the normal sports sedan. It has a language of it`s own that already says "I`m sexy enough ". tuners need to understand this when trying to customize the CLS.
