Hello! Picked up my first Benz last week - a 2012 C220 AMG Sport+ with a manual six speed gear box. Never had a Merc before, had Audi's and BMW's but have always wanted a Merc ..... and now I do.

The car has 60,000 miles with a full MBSH. Lots of extras including the glass roof and command system.

I like everything about it .... apart from the wheels - I dislike black wheels.



C220 W204 AMG Sport+

Welcome. Don’t think I’ve ever come across a manual W204. There are options for those wheels - check out adi-benz’s thread here...

I was thinking about having the wheels stripped and then powder coated in Bronze?
