Smile formal introduction

hello all, my name is dino and i just picked up a 2005 c230k. im new to the w203 but not so much to euros and benz's. i previously owned a w210, a4 and currently own an audi tt as well as the c class. i frequent audiworld, and show my TT at many local and HIN shows with eurotechniks. so far im loving this benz and am sure that i will amass a great amount of knowledge from mbworld and its members. the c230 has bix, comand, 6MT, 18'' mandrus regenmeisters (will become winter wheels), clear sidemarkers, flat hood emblem, tinted windows and tails, xenon city and fog lights, debadged, lip spoiler, and steath bulbs for all blinkers. happy modding!

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
