My new baby has arrived

Got a call from my MB sales rep earlier today to notify me that my C250 CDI has landed in the Country and I'll be able to see it at the dealership this weekend - so excited

However it won't be ready for delivery until probably the following week, I can only hope I take delivery before Easter and have a nice long 4 day weekend to begin enjoying my new pride and joy can't wait

Pictures please. BTW, I think you need to change your avatar to 'C350' and not 'C359'.

^Hehe Thanks!

I must have made a typo, I'll throw my other cars up there too.

I only took like 3-4 pictures from my iphone to send to some friends so I'll throw those up.










I only have very little mods planned for this one after I spent way too much on my 350Z I had before this. Basically just the windows will get tinted, the front grille might be changed, some matte black rims, maybe that quad tip conversion that a lot of people are doing cause I really like that. That's pretty much it so far I guess.

Very nice papashango ^^^

I just love the C Class in white with the dark panoramic roof option, they look soooo cool

When I get to view mine this weekend, if it's in a decent (ie. clean) state I'll take some pics and put those up here as well

Nice. A blacked out grille and maybe mirrors would make for an awesome contrast. Congratulations.

God, i'm so jealous at the states that don't require front plates. Up here in Canada, (at least over in Vancouver) it's required by law. Completely ruins the car imo

Congrats at the car, nevertheless. Have fun with it!

Funny you say that cause that's exactly what I was looking for online. Gone check out ebay as there are a few there around the $200 mark. Is there a DIY with pictures showing how to do this anywhere? Also doing this wouldn't ruin my factory warranty would it? You'd think that it shouldn't but some companies are crazy like that. I know BMW is.
