Ah well, the view is splendid when there is snow - but the end results (melting, dirty snow) are not the kind of things I am waiting for. Not to mention all the salt they are spraying on the streets to prevent us from 'skating' with our cars. :p

I raised it 3cm in the back and 1cm in the front...I can take speedbumps without scraping noises again.

cars that come with the auto dimming mirrors from factory do not have an auto dimming pass side glass - mine now has that glass auto dimming as well (have to change the actual mirrorframe itself as well to get the connector and wiring to support that dimming glass)
H&R cupkit is a height adjusteable kit with lowering springs and sport shocks.

I was there some time ago and I saw alot of Benz (rent-a-car I guess), not sport sedans but some C-classes and E class, but no coupe, lucky for you seeing one, and a 2004 model!

Tell me about it - how long have you been trying to find one for me? :0(

But Steve, the car looks amazing. I think I speak for everyone when I say

When are you coming back out here again?

Hey STEVE, today I saw one wagon, exactly the same as yours (except the AMG brakes, but sport ones and AMG suspension not coilovers), also with the designo interior and designo exterior color (I thinked it was silver I don't know).
The wagon passed by me with a lady on it and after looking at the lady :p I saw the 2 toned interior and it was also a 2005 version!!!
I couldn't take pics even with my cell phone, I was in trafic, and she passed me at 3mph, not enought time
