2005 C230 Kompressor Sport, 1990 Jaguar XJS V12
NewB from Central Florida

Hello All, My name is Sean and I am new here posting I have been a lurker for some time now. I used to have a 2006 Acura TSX that I purchased new and it was pretty much hooked up until a drunk driver T Boned me while standing still in traffic!

Any how I just recently purchased a 2005 C230 Kompressor on Sunday 3 days ago and actually love the car, it has 40K Factory HID's, rear curtain, 6 disc changer, etc. Nice car glad I made the purchase, I am also thinking seriously about purchasing a C55 now and use the other as a daily! I hope to get good links on where to make purchases for my C230 as I do enjoy fixing up cars..

Next I will be ordering staggered 19" forged wheels my borther has E Forged on his SRT8 3oo I like and the '07 trunk spoiler. Those will be my first mods.

Haha! We had one meet, but only two of us showed. I had a nice lunch in Orlando with Nick (AdidasC230). Next time will be better, though. Welcome!
