LOL! All by just looking at the exterior upgrades? Wow!

Too bad that we have so much snow around here. Otherwise I would have been able to actually see the car myself this past weekend... ah well, I guess I still have a better chance looking at this car 'live' than most of you guys.

209/W210 Estate /W211 modded by MBENZNL
Looking Good!...The color choice is great ...The Silver Hearse...Nice Job!
A Lot more fun than the Vito!

This Estate WILL Be one of the MOST Modded Estates out there!

Update on the dreaded rust?

Wanda a little Snow should Not Stop you from going to the garage to inspect Brothers Work...UNLESS you think that the Ultimate Driving Machine cant handle a little Snow...Maybe Its Time to STEP up and Get a Real car
One WITH a Three pointed Star MB! :p

WOW, that AMG body kit is wonderfull

Steve, how much for the AMG body kit for the wagon???
(I sended you a mail because of the C30 sport coupe muffler, did you get it?)

I'm in the process of selling my mom wagon she never liked too much the wagon, (because she allways wanted the CLK ) beside being a nice car, but only if I could change the wagon looks a little more, maybe we keep it :p

STOP teasing the poor slave, Mark! I may be able to drive to Steve to take a look at his car again, if it weren't for my brother being in Germany all day.

BTW, look who's talking about snow. Do you actually know how it looks like, and how it feels? And what mess you get from it every time you walk into your house with those snowy, wet shoes / boots? I like snow, but it should disappear within half an hour, no matter how much there is of it... And I would like it even more if it would fall in LA! Hah!

... I think the car is too low for all the 'humps' we have here in Holland, though. Would be a real shame if Steve were to wreck his beautiful AMG bumper...

greetingz,

BigSis

Bad Wanda Snow rules and it should be around way more than an hour. That is what snowmobiles were made for.

a TWOTONED interior was a MUST - and that must made it take 6 months to source the used car I wanted (originally I wanted a C30CDI station but those are scarce and impossible to find with a twotoned interior).

the thing in the center console is the booster blower for the rear passengers
