First Mercedes

I traded an 2002 Audi TT 3 months ago for a 2006 C55. Couldn't be happier.

Nice

i thought the original rims on the C55 were super nice but apparently, you found something that you like better (last pic).

Those are my winter wheels with Blizzak LM 25s. I live in Chicago and you have to have them. I really like the birdseye trim with the ash interior.

ur right in that u will need winter tires if ur driving her in the winter here in chicago.

i actually like ur C55 in bright red.

i too had a bright red 4 door sedan, an Audi A6 2.7T and i loved the way it looked after a nice wash.

we, mbworld members, have to definately have a meet in spring/early summer '06 for chicagoland members.

take care and maybe i'll see u around.

I still have a 2000 S4. Love the car. I am in the process of going APR stage 3 with Autospeed Performance downpipes and cat back. My Winter project. I am not sure if I will mod the Mercedes or not.

My TT was a ALMS in Misano Red. Cleaned up really nice.

Meeting in the spring sounds fun.

clean and hot at the same time...

visit your local dealer and pick up the v8 emblem and place on your fenders, it needs it.

Ebay should have the as well.
