99 MB C280 SPORT
First thread
Hello folks,
I come to Mercedes Benz from the Volkswagen community. I've owned numerous VW's: 97 Jetta GLX, 96 GTI VR6, 92 Golf, 88 Golf, 95 GTI VR6 and now I've moved forward into Mercedes Benz.
I now own a white 99 C280 sport with H&R sport springs, Bilstein shocks, 18x8 front & 18x9 rear Rial Nogaro wheels, tinted windows, flat star hood badge, Seat front lip spoiler. I love it! It's not the first Mercedes I've owned though. Me and my wife purchased an 04 C240 4matic earlier this year and I was hooked. Then I found this at the end of June:
with my wife's c240 4matic
enjoy!

the term panda is universal lingo, not benz-exclusive
Is the lip carbon fiber? :o

i'm not sure if the fenders are rolled or not. it doesn't rub at all unless the car is loaded with people. the lip came on the car when i bought it and is apparently hard to find. it's from a Seat Cupra.

Seat lip is now gone for a cleaner look. Also purchased a newer C class sport style grille, love it!
car runs/drives great. only issue thus far has been flat tires (alignment is needed) and the tensioner pulley flying apart but that wasn't too bad either. love my merc!
