Just got my C230...pics

So I sold my 2002 clk55, and after a long break i'm back to benz again, this time a 2007 c230 with 81000 miles...found the cleanest one after searching for 2 weeks...really liking the car, not as fast as my clk (obviously) but a fun little car to drive...anyways, let me know what you guys think...

Looks good. The wood trim is not my cup of tea, though... I guess I'm too used to the CF stuff that's on my daughter's W203.

Very good looking car. Personally I like the Birds Eye Maple you have much better than aluminum, now the Walnut I'm not so fond of. I think you have a great looking car for the mileage.

Thank you all...I really didn't have a choice on the color of the wood, I myself prefer birds eye also which I had on my CLK, if this is birds eye, then it looks different from my CLK...but either way I like it...

One thing i might do is changing the headlights to the OEM bi-xenons but I heard it's a hassle to try to work it...I kinda searched for some DIYs but didn't really find it, I have to look into it when I'm ready, oh and for sure I will need some tints, I hate when others see me in the car

Not too much of a hassle, just switch 'em out via the DIY here and then find an indy shop or dealer to change your Xenon code to "PRESENT" via the STAR diagnostic system, instructions for which are here.

Does the auto-leveling also work? Or these don't have auto leveling? Seems pretty simple...

The auto-leveling exist in the factory system. Most people just swap in either Depo BiX or factory MB BiX assemblies, but don't bother retrofitting the auto-leveling or the headlight washer system that would have come with them from the factory. Both can be added also, but of course it drives the total cost up and the difficulty up. Both also have to be set to present in STAR, along with the Xenon Present setting.

Gata love the way 07s look
Even thought there's not any MAJOR differences between them and the 05s and 06s, its the little things that make a big difference. Congrats on the new ride and enjoy, Facelifted w203s are great cars
