Oneofakindtrini's C280 4matic thread

So I been on here for a year and had my car for about the same time. I figured I should make a thread for it since I have made the final decision to keep the car after I almost bought a lemon G37 with a tranny that grinded. The car is a D.D. with currently 53,XXX miles and counting. Arctic white which is the best color right next to Iridium Silver. As far as 9-6-10 the car has flat hood badge, hids and a grille. More stuff to come.

This was my first day with the car June 15th 2009. No that jag isn't mine


The first abusive winter this car has been through. Sometime in feb.


To the blazing heat of NYC's summers.


This was taken on 9-5-10. Had to prepare the car for a night of labor day weekend chilling


Then I took a moment to reflect what I drive. Doesn't matter if it's a b-class, C-class, or e-class it's still a BENZ.

I agree with TC.. the W203 does not have a broad enough fascia to support a huge star and the car ends up looked cross-eyed.

Nice car. Sidemarkers will certainly clean it up!

I've always wanted to put 20k's or something outrageous in my fogs... see a cop, turn 'em off.

But if you don't want to be crazy, 3k or 6k to match.

I'll just go with 6k's to match the look top and bottom. Next will be the W7 in the trunk then some rims for spring.

Yeah definately. I have my eye on a set of MRR GT1's which I'll get powdercoated black 18's non staggered or TSW Nurburgring's black non stag for 4matic.

I know everyone is familiar with the MRR GT1's, but not the Nurburgrings.

TSW NURBURGRING
