Hi everyone,

Long time member of Benzworld and Ozbenz, looking for another place to post and talk crap with like minded enthusiasts

I have 2 cars, a highly modified W126 500SEC which i've just retired to weekend duties as it is more a race car than a street car and i want to keep it nice. I absolutely love driving it on the street the way it is however as an older car it does have it's issues from time to time so i would like to minimise that, also having a backup car is handy.

And my newly acquired MY10 C200 CGI which i just picked up today with 40,000kms on the clock. Already begun mods, i just purchased a coilover suspension which will arrive next week.

Nevermind, saw in your sig. Never had any experience with Dkubus. Let us know how they ride. Majority of us w204 owners go with H&R, Eibach, KW, Bilstein, etc.

And let us know if you want to upgrade your lighting to whiter LEDs. Eyebrows, signals, rear plates, and interior are popular upgrades.

Thanks , i have plenty of experience with Dkubus as my SEC is running a few Dkubus goodies. Very good quality products that work great.

I would love to do more mods to my 204, there was a stocky thread but mone of the pictures in the links were working for me.
