Hello MBWorld!

Hi everyone!
Just got my first Mercedes through pure serendipity...a 2009 C63 with a bit of a bruise (looks like a semi backed into the side). I'll be working hard to bring her back to health in the next few weeks in our cold Ontario winter.


I've been toying with interesting cars for a few years now. Been mostly a BMW and Alfa guy, but I'm excited to own a small piece of AMG.


No pics that do her justice quite yet...hopefully to follow soon!

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the pickup. W204 AMG really is a beast with an exhaust roar that's second to none backed by that big block V8

Let us know if we can help you out with any aftermarket lighting upgrades. We have specialized plug and play LEDs to change out some of those dingy yellowish color lights to newer whiter bulbs. Eyebrows, rear plates, signals, reverse, interior, we can swap them all out

Thanks guys. I'd feel horrible posting pictures of the car minus about a quarter of its sheet metal. The compete one will come soon, I promise!
