Your car looks brand new, in all honesty as long as you take care of your pride and joy it will look good for many years.

Under the MCP programme, the dealer replaced the very minior deterioating rear shocks to brand new recently, it feels great!

Hope to meet you on the road.

Yes, I am addicted to the C55's solid build, just right & sporty suspension and the endless power feel even I could have given it up since we bought a 330i E90 2 years ago.

I must say Merc Brilliant Silver Nano paint is the best car paint in the world. No matter how long I left the car unattended, a quick good wax will bring the car back to new shine.

I love the C63 but not enough to make me buying a gaint powered C-class twice for our limited highways and huge car tax (C63 full options ~USD160K in HK). Hoping for the best, my next Benz will be a 2009 306hp CLK350 (code C210?) hard top convertible.

I hear you on the tax...My best friend just bought a new S5 over there...and the tax, garage and fuel fees are a lot more than we have in New York!
Your car looks great! - Keep it up!

We need those stickers, the very top one is the road licence. Below that could be car park stickers, club membership etc.............

You know, I got something on the other side of the windshield which is the auto toll sensor.

I only have the road licence on my car, lucky that we now use a remote entrance system for my condo. I took the car wash membership and other stickers off.
