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

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

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

Here is how i bought it:

so what has happened since i'have owned it?first things first,wheels,those 18"(AMG) were not big enough

Wanted something bigger and a bit more agressive.So i went for 20" Quantum SFF2 flow forged rimms(much better)

So,people i'm back(after a long absence here on the forum,sorry for that)

Few things first:

Saw that there were a few people interested in the rims,so here it goes

-front:Quantum44 SFF2|8.5Jx20 ET45.00 5x112 CB66.60

-Back:Quantum44 SFF2|10.0Jx20 ET42.00 5x112 CB66.60

Thats done

Next thing ,Sold the C400 and bought myself a 2020 C43 T (so ready to be in the hated club,lmao)

White,nightpackage,drivers package,performance exhaust,etc,etc

will upload a picture and still use the same rims because i still find them awsome(but spacers were needed in the front)

gr,walter

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
