2005 c230
New here!
Hello!
New to Mercedes but not to the diy lifestyle. My wife and I just bought a 2005 c230 kompressor that we love. Technically it is my wife's daily driver, but I keep up the maintaince.
Things needing to be done on it:
1. Drivers side fog light grille missing- did some research and found out this is common. Luckily I came across one on eBay for 50 bucks.
2. Passenger fog light itself is cracked. The whole assembly looks to be expensive but I found a site that will sell the individual parts. The glass is about 30 dollars or so. Hopefully that will be enough to get it fixed.
3 some punk tried to "murder" out the ride by spraying that plastic bedliner crap all over all the chrome trim pieces. I've scrapped most of it off but still have some more tedious work to do to get it looking good.
4. Finally I want to get an aux cable so my wife can listen to music in her phone.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself!
