CLK 280 [to be precise] Avantgarde Cabriolet TipAuto


Congrats, a great looking car, the auto extending seatbelt thingy justifies the price on its own!

The fit was never close enough to justify the research expense!!!!!!!

Mind you Peugeot manage it on their 308CC, as do Merc on the SL and no doubt all their DHCs :roll:
