Hello one and all,

I am a new proud owner of a 2004 C320 Avantgarde

I am new to the forum but not new to forum life

I used to have a E46 330 Ci and loved it but thought I should make the change. The Benz seems to drive more heavy but with a nicer feel and def alot nicer inside.

The old car

and a few of the new " not mine" the sellers I will def take some and update on recent mods etc..

As you can see I have a pretty good start with the AMG rims only 18" but comfortable and of course the great command system which is fantastic..

I look forward to the banter and the help that I am sure is available on tap..

Dont worry I WILL SEARCH!! as I know that seems to get on peoples back's.

Oh and I am from Surrey a county in London, England.

Please come and say hi I look forward to posting with you guys/gals soon

Future Mods are :

Xenons
Black out chrome trim everywhere apart from the front grill
Sub woofer install
Decent air filter, induction kit
Maybe black rims with chrome lip
Ecu remap
Sprint booster
loads of washing clay bars polish and wax

So far.... I am sure there will be more ideas

Jay
