C220
*updated* My 1 month old C220 with few mods

Hello guys!

I am new to this forum but have been following it for a while since i got my 2nd Mercedes. I used to drive mostly BMW and Volvo.... than i got myself a Mercedes CLS 2010 year model... One of the most problematic car I ever had so I went back to Volvo BUT now I gave Mercedes another chance and finally I can say that this car is very good! Here is some pictures taken with my Galaxy S2


Before:


After AMG trunk and roof spoiler:


After LED lights:


After tint:


Interior:


Just a nice shot:


For more pictures about my old cars: www.garaget.org/saabra

The next thing to do is smoke tint headlight. I was thinking of changing wheels to 19" but some how i find the 17" AMG wheels very good looking

Welcome to the forum

Glad you gave Mercedes another shot. You won't be disappointed.

I agree with you that the stock AMG rims look very good compared to most aftermarket ones.

I doubt BMW or Volvo is much better when it comes to reliability, hahaha.

Good luck with your car!

edit: Also, I think you get flamed on these forums for claiming your car is an AMG when its not.

Ohh lets hope so.
Hmm i have been trying to update the thread subject but cant find how to do it. The car has a AMG package. Not sure if you guys have that option in America. My car is made for the swedish market.

Get flamed even more for not knowing that installing the AMG sport package is classified as AMG by the dealer. Plus I don't see an AMG badge on his car, only his thread title.

These look like OEM wheels with AMG package.

Thanks! Those are AMG reps which have turned out to be quite a great buy at about $500 for the set. High quality, required little weight to balance. My original MB wheels are in boxes in my garage. I bought my winter rims/tires before I got the reps, so I didn't time this all very well, and wound up with an extra set of wheels. Good to have just in case, I guess.
