2006 c230 6spd
Finally got my first Mercedes )))
it's a 2006 c230 6 speed manual transmission, dark blue with black interior, 28000 miles on it, and i believe its almost fully loaded,please correct me if i'm wrong, with the exclusion of premium sound and power seats and CD changer. It has heated seats, bi-xenons, navigation, sunroof, rain sensing wipers and probably something else I'm forgetting.
so far i'm loving it, great smooth car, a bit slow, but with manual you can still have fun with it.
as for the future i plan to maybe tint the windows( though not sure how it will look, as there already is a stock blue tint) and get some nice rims, maybe f14 or c63 eom rims? and maybe in far future drop and get some performance mods, like ecu re-flash( powerchip or something along those lines) and headers.
what do you think? all feedback are welcome...

Nice thanks for introducing yourself. I wonder if the nav is factory strange to have standard radio with nav. How do you like the BIX they are awesome my favorite thing about my car! GL

you should get a flat hood badge and a cf lip. the blue tint is actually not a tint but the glass itself, I'd keep it that way IMO, I love the blue hue tinted glass, wish I had them. Congrats on the car! I love my 6 spd as well i can never get an automatic all my previous cars were standard.

Maybe split-folding rear seat, Sirius, Tele-Aid, premium sound, rear sunshade, power seats, and CD changer may be the only US options that you may not have. Of course, there are many other options that are not available in the US that you don't have as well - folding side mirrors, parctronic, distronic, to name a few. Always something more that you could do.
I don't think that chipping would be cost-effective, but new sways, a drop, and some lightweight 18s are good for a start.
Good to see a new member in here, especially in manny form.

but the only option i would want, out of the ones i'm missing, is premium sound. don't get me wrong i like the stock system but a little upgrade wouldn't hurt. though i'm not planning doing anything about it its fine the way it is.
thanks for help

I meant if the nav was added by the previous owner or was ordered from factory that way. The nice thing is that the stock system is easier to upgrade then the premium HK system. Happy Modding

Congratulations on the new car. Awesome ride!!!
Now watch out for these guys, they plant little seeds of ideas. It seems all innocent and then you start thinking "I could just order one part this week and another next week -- until I have everything I need for.....(voice control, the blue tooth phone stuff, AMG sways, etc)."
Then you find yourself surfing ebay or making friends with your parts guy and before you know it....
