2009 White W204 Mercedes-Benz C350 CDi - Weekend Ride

Hello Everyone

So I decided to post about my Mercedes-Benz ride. I am from sunny South Africa and bought a 2009 White W204 Mercedes-Benz C350 CDi below when it had 88 000 km. See some pictures below at the dealer when I took ownership of the vehicle:

My daily work car is a VW Polo 1.9TDi with some modifications and the Merc my weekend car. The reason i bought the Merc is because Mercedes-Benz is in my roots and I just love the sound of the 350CDi engine . My grandfather drove a W115 240D, my father drives a W203 C320CDi and now I drive the W204 C350 CDi. I think I will do a few minor modifications to the car like LED interior lighting, Xenon HID and maybe some DRL's.

I tried some detailing work on the Merc, inside and outside. The inside include dash and trim clean and dress and leather seat clean and condition. The outside include window clean, paint wash, claying, polish of all swirl marks, waxing, tire dressing and exhaust & alloy wheel metal polish. The engine bay is still nice and clean so I did not take pictures of that and I forgot to take pictures of the interior so I only have outside pictures that I can share with you all: [P.S. Unfortunately I only have after pictures, no before and the quality is cellphone quality so not the greatest after compressing the size for better internet downloading]
