lol, i liked the lorinser wagon's rear and skirts (minus the gills), but then i saw the front. Not for me, thats for sure. the rear is just so clean - very fitting for a wagon.

Ultimately I wanted a change, so I started looking at/for a W/S203 wagon and here I am.

Thanks BlackC280 ! The wheels are TSW "Crofts" 18X8 up front - 32 ET Rears are 18X9.5 - 35 ET. The Crofts are a new wheel for TSW this year. haven't seen another set on the road yet. BTW, Glad you got your flat badge figured out. i had a helluva time with those sleeves too.

white and whiter
as I've always said, if only the C32 were available in wagon in the USA I would've gotten that.
i've also drove the C320 wagon as loaner before and because of the wagon has a heavier rear it actually made the car better balanced since the W203 is nose heavy to begin with.

'02 C320 Wagon, '78 308 GTS, '06 Highlander Hybrid
Hey Greg & all,
Here's some pix of my '02 C320 with sport package. It's my wife's car right now, but we're going to get her something else in a few months when the twins arrive (that'll be 3 kids including my son Lucas). It was fine with just one kid, but with 3 it would be very tight. So, then it will be come my daily driver. The plans are to lower it, quad exhaust, tint, underdrive pulley, and ECU chip (maybe, if I can find out if it really improves anything).
The last pic is what we all hope that our wagons could be...

First Two are at the Mercedes Benz Club Portugal Gathering
( Every week at Wednesdays )
Full Interior Ilumination on LED's
Only a little information here in portugal the vans are almost all Mercedes CDI, because the tax on fuel is a crazy thing ... and diesel is much cheaper than gasoline ... and anything that involves changes in the car almost a registration of 400 euros (nearly 550 dollars)

TelmoChaparro, Sweet ! Really like what you have done with your wagon. That is just plain cool, in my opinion. Please share details on those wheels and what you did to lower it. It sits nicely. Great to see some more wagons coming out of the woodwork.
