hi guys and gals! i have not posted much but have been lurking around a lot and been gathering some very good info from such knowledgable people on here! I have only recently purchased my Merc on 15th May 2007 after owning a couple BMWs. Originally i was on the look out for a C280 sport but i found them very hard to come by. I have actually only seen one for sale but it was quite abused. After waiting for a good few months i just gave up and thought i'd give the more popular C240 sport a go. Went to view it and didnt see anything wrong with it so laid a deposit and went back the next day with cash. Its not as chuckable and powerful as i'm used to but it does the job very well and really is very comfortable.
anyway enough of this chit chat and lets get to some details.

its a 1999 W202 240 sport.
Please excuse the quality of the pics. They are taken on my phone and have actually not come out as good as i thought. I will take some another day with a digi cam. Heres how she looked when i brought her:

And this is how she looks when i got off my **** yesterday and decided to give it a clay and polish. I also replaced the original grill with the avantgarde style one from ebay. It really has transformed the front:

Sorry if i got a bit carried away with the pics. I couldnt decide which ones to post up so thought i'd just put them all up! These have not actually come out too bad with my camera phone. But i will post some more up with a digicam next time i give it a clean as it does not justify the colour of the car. Azurite blue is a very strange colour. It actually looks very normal and nothing special when grubby. But after a good polish and when the suns out it really transforms the colour of the car. Looks sparkly blue from some angles and then violet from others. It really is beautiful! Anyway here is where i welcome any comments and suggestions good or bad. hope you enjoyed!

 

links are down but congrats on the buy

 

A couple of the links still work, but yeah... most are down.
I love that color and those wheels. Looks sharp!!
