2005 Orion Blue C230 SS spotted in North Broward Last night

Hey I spooted this Sweet Orion Blue C230 sport sedan on 95 going southbound and exiting at Oakland Park. It was lowered had the Bixenons and 19" rims. I go nuts over Orion Blue and I wished I picked up that Orion Blue C32 I saw earlier this year.

Anyways Who is it? Anyone in South Florida seen this car?

This car was nicely modded, like something you would see on the west coast. As you know everyone here in South Florida has wacky taste!

07 C230 Sport Sedan Orion Blue
Hey Folks,

I have lurked around here and just browsed previously. I just received my factory ordered 07 C230 Orion Blue Sport Sedan and I thought this thread would be fitting to show up in. I have a picture on my avatar and on my profile but I can't upload photos because I understand that you have to have them hosted somewhere. I don't have webspace so I can't link up to them. Any advice on how to post would be greatly appreciated. I also post periodically on the other MB Forum but I think this one is better for the W203. Later folks and hopefully my profile photo shows up ok.

Sure you can. What you've read about this by now is considered an old wife's tale. The picture sticky up top is open for business.

Pics of my new car. Crappy because of the angles and the fact the sun wasn't shining. Hope this works. Mod, if nothing appears can you please delete this post. Thanks!

Yup I think it was after 10 tho. I pulled up next to you to get a closer look. I had the black C32 with the dark tint and neons. Man I totally am envious of that color. Your Car looks great even at night. Please post some pics.....

Haha thanks a lot. Yeah I definitely saw you! I have to take some new pics and post them. I am still waiting to get my springs installed and then I was going to post pictures. I hate the gap right now.

We need to get a South FL group meet one day and take some pics of everyone's rides.

Thats my boy! That Orion blue is show stopping again...we got to meet up so that I can take a look at your new and improved ride - plus you can see my new rims (just received them today - will be putting them on tomorrow - it feels like christmas in November ) plus you can also take my car for a test drive to see if you like the SB.

I got a vacation coming up in 2 weeks or so - we gotta meet up for a photo shoot! Maybe some other MBWORLD members can join in and we can have a south FL group meet.

Moosejaw - Your car is lowered right? wehre did you get it done? I have had some springs sitting in my house for over a month now waiting for my uncle to put them on, but he never has time. Do you know a good place in the area?
Also do you still have the RX-7? My uncle races Rx-7's with Pettit Racing. You heard of them?

07 C230 Sport Sedan Orion Blue
Thanks everyone for the nice words. I don't plan on modding this car at all because I like it the way it is. Au Natural is the best. I want to keep the classis Benz look to it. Later!

Hey Tangerine,

If you are interested in that Tangerine smart car I will call the dealer and ask them to hold it for you. It would suit your username that is for sure. LOL!

I bought my car that way, however I lowered my previous C230 at Royal Motors right here in NMB. They are practically across the street. They charged me 200 bucks and did it in 2 -1/2 hours. They also did a four wheel alignment for me for a little extra.

Yeah my rx7 is still in my garage, you can check out my photobucket site at http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h74/sparkyhollywood/ to see more rx7 and c32 pics there.

Whose your uncle? , i need a new motor....

No I'm in Sunny Isles/Aventura area. But i'm out in miami lakes every weekend.
I'm all for a South Florida GTG. It would be nice to meet other C class fanatics.
