Saying "Hello!"
I figured since I just ordered my '06 C230 I had better join this board and start learning from y'all. I have spent the last 3 years, well 39 months actually, enjoying modding and driving my 2002 Audi TT Roadster. With a baby on the way the Benz seems like a better alternative and the lease numbers on the A4 were nutz!

I'll post some pics when my car arrives. If anyone has a good site for performance and appearance mods, please share it!

Thanks!

hello & welcome....

searching these forums will probably answer most of your questions regarding appearance / styling modifications (wheels, body kits, grills, lights, etc...)
So please "search" away, and enjoy.

for performance mods to your new '06 C230, you may have to wait a while, since it's a new engine, much different than the 2000-2005 C230 engines.

I'm surprised the lease numbers were much different between Audi and MB, for better deals Lexus seems the way to go currently.

Post pics of your old ride.
