If that's a real Benz part you got an awesome deal! I paid $550 for a new one when mine broke when I was trying to take it off.

Shot of MPG @ 70+mph on 2.5hr rd trip home in 6th gear
and sneak peek of what's to come this Spring. Yes they are authentic and no theyve NEVER been mounted since their manufcured date in April of 2000
I may need some help with the correct lug bolt sizes though.

Interesting rim choice.. not as good looking as the ones you have on there now but definitely not bad, either.
Also the 3.5L M272 is more efficient than the 2.5L M272 in a lot of cases.. weird, eh?

I've only ever driven an 07 230.. Drew's and a relative's. Driving around Atlanta it seems like Drew's car was at 21mpg or so.. my relative's 07 C230 has an average of about 18 but she makes only short trips. The M271 is much more efficient.. I've got a lifetime average of 27 even with a lot of hard driving.

I just know that the second I buy snow tires, thats the second it doesnt snow the rest of the season! Im holding out til next season, Ive committed! (now that Ive said it will snow 10 more feet this season). Unless school attendance is life or death, no more renting cars to make it in the day after one of these big storms. (aka more $ for mods hehe)
Thank you my crossfire brethren! While Brabus got a little lax with their bodykit design on the w203, they made up with the Mono V. I can't wait to get them on, such a classic. Despite the lackluster bodykit, the wheels have got me on a Brabus kick, and would like to retrofit it with as much authentic Brabus propaganda as possible. If nothing else, it'll all set it apart from the sea of AMG sport kits. Suiting for the monster line up of power mods on deck.
