Glad to join the group

First MBZ and I am glad to be here. Just picked up this little beauty and glad to say badges are off and let the fun begin.

I am planning to tint and look into springs and possible wheels. I will be searching and posting for some help I am sure. HRE flowforms seem to be a top contender.

Congrats on the purchase Trout! Lowering springs + HRE's are an excellent combo to start off on. Enjoy the ride and let me know if there's anything I can do to help

It all started with my old Audi wagon. It looked so clean and ever since I have always taken them off my cars. In my opinion it just looks way better. Everyone knows what it is so I never saw the purpose.
