my blue C400
Hello all and good evening(well at least here it is)from Belgium.
I'm walter and relatively new to the Mercedes crowd.Why Mercedes?Well after driving Volvo's for close to 20 years(855R and V70T6)it was time to replace the "old"and trusted V70."Houston we have a problem",lol,why?Well i was used to 5 cylinders and after that 6 cylinders,but since Volvo doesn't make anything "bigger"then 4 cylinders nowadays,i had to switch maques![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So the search was on
,truth be told i'm not a Beemer guy(sorry that's just me),so there were 2 left Audi and Mercedes.Run them both past the blond "boss"and well to make a long story short ,Mercedes came out on top.Now it was time to search the models,and since we both agreed it could be smaller as the V70,the logical choice was,...................................you've guessed it the C-Class
,so the "hunt" was on![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Since C-400's are quite rare here,i just "stumbled" on this one,and loved the colour(and the performance)so,went to have a look and well,bought the car on the spot.Still love this C to bitts and it has done about 30K miles and is now how i like it
,few mods![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Here is how i bought it:

hi everyone,a few small upgrades;
Had the grille ,back star and back chrome piece wrapped,much better.
Never understood why Mercedes(if you opt for the night package,)did this themselves
The black fender guard is there so our little chubby guy(english bulldog)doesn't scratch it
