520,000KM C230! C55 Coming THIS WEEK!

Hi guys! I’m so excited! It’s my first post here after years of lurking!

So my 06 C230 hit 520,000KM today! Its still going strong and I’ll have mixed emotions when I give my brother the keys!

My C55 AMG is in the body shop and will be out this week! I can't wait! Its fully stock so my first mods will be:
1. 5.5 AMG stickers!
2. Res delete!
3. CLK style grill
4. H&H rear swaybar

See pics of my C230 attached

Lol my clock is always wrong! It was 8:17am!!

Welcome and congrats on your purchase.
It will be night and day between both cars!
The AMG is very addictive in a good way.

Your new car what is going to be fixed at the body shop?

Thank you! Yeah I was blown away when I test drove the AMG!

Well I bought the car at auction & shipped it to Nigeria. Both bumpers were cracked so we fixed that & it's getting a new paint job!
The car has 91,000 miles, single owner since 2006, garage kept & dealer serviced. It's also fully stock with all the options so I got lucky

What country did you import from?
Australia, USA or UK?

In Nigeria for official imports from dealer do you have mileage or kilometer clusters?

Black car is that the AMG you bought?
It doesn't have AMG wheels but has an AMG bumper up front

Hood seems to have some dents, this will be fixed?
Low front bumpers work like snow plows, need to be careful dodging obstacles.
