Hey all,

New guy and as promised would post mods and info on car so far.

So CLA45S++ Magno selenite grey,
Mods,
● Xpel PPF, full front end, half doors, side skirts, rear spoiler, boot lip, rear bumper corners, interior screens and all major vulnerable areas. (Wear and tear pack)
● Custom tune by DMS Automotive including gearbox tune. Currently 498bhp and 620nm
● Supersprint centre pipe to remove centre box. (Sounds so much better, especially with DMS tune)
● Blacked badges all round, blacked front grille slats, blacked door handle tops by Mulgari cars.
● 25mm H&R spring drop and 12mm TPI spacers all round. Much better stance.

Pics bellow.

That looks to be a very expensive nose job... you'll have to be exceptionally careful when parking. I see it doesn't have space for a number plate... what is your long term plan for your plate?

Blimey you don't hang around! Looks great....
Haha. No I do tend to just get it all done straight away. Some of the bits were done at the dealer thanks to an awesome dealer relationship. Meant I could just post him the parts and had the techs there fit before I collected.

Ah well it's only metal, it's got to be used right that's why I had it PPF'D to be honest. I love caring for my cars but I drive them the way they're designed to be driven.

Plate looked so much better off it accidentally stayed off and sits in the front window now. I do want a smaller one made with a small custom bracket, but I haven't sorted that yet.

Being honest about it, absolutely rightly so anywhere in the UK. Might as well stick a big sign on the roof saying POLICE, PLEASE PULL ME OVER! :D

Awesome looking car Dan, I like that very much! :cool:
That is quite an increase in power your car has....I would have been more than happy with the standard 415bhp. :geek:
It's the massive 120Nm increase in torque that will likely be more noticeable though.
Its probably immaterial but do you know what all this has done to the standard 0-62mph time?

That is assuming you can get the power cleanly to the road :rolleyes:

This is true, but the 4MATIC+ system is very capable. :cool:

Extremely so.....
I remember running alongside (ish) another members E63s (213) 4 matic against my E63 MSL tuned 700bhpish (212) , so on paper I had 80-100 more horses but that 4matic just put the power down more effectively (and went round corners too!)

Hey all. Yes it puts it down incredibly well.

On the Track Pace telemetry option you have in the car I have multiple runs between 3.3 and 3.6 seconds on my 0-60 runs.
And yes with the 4 matic+ there is just not slip. Unless of course I put it in drift mode. ;);)

How did you do it to remove the side emblems with the satin paint? I’m struggling to remove the adhesive.
