So I think I joined about 4 years ago but haven't really posted, tbh, forgot this website existed LOL Not until my recent upgrade when I wanted to look for more info on the car did I come across this website again.
2017 Dec: took delivery of a CLA250 Sport 4Matic (2017) in Jupiter Red. Had it stock for about 3 months (apart from ceramic coat within first week), then made some minor mods, mainly external, then started looking into exhaust, intake, BOV. After 4 years of ownership, had a few more exhaust mods done, downpipe and tuned. Then we had a new addition to our family and within 2 months of having our baby girl, things got a little cramped in the back and had to look at upgrading. Was great timing because my finance was finishing up and had a choice to either pay remaining amount owing in a balloon payment, upgrade by selling back the car to the dealership to pay remaining finance amount, or return and walk away. I obviously chose the upgrade option with a trade-in.
Pics of the old CLA250 before I said my goodbyes and traded her in
2021 Sept: took delivery of a GLA35 (2021) in designo Patagonia Red metallic (couldn't let move on from red, and my wife also said she wanted me to get another red car) with Titan Grey Pearl / Black Lugano Leather interior.. Dropped her off to get ceramic coated on the same day I took delivery and got her back a few days ago, looking incredibly glossy and shiny! Extras/Packages: AMG Aerodynamics Package, Vision Package, Innovation Package, 21-inch AMG Multi-Spoke Matt Black Alloy Wheels.
I have plans for a few mods here and there but for the timbering, it's time to break her in carefully over the next 1500km - that's going to be incredibly difficult lol.
Some pics of her during delivery and after paint correction, decontamination and protection. __PRESENT
Hi @itsmehuey and thanks for the intro and pics. Love both M-Bs and I guess it was difficult to say goodbye to the CLA. Your GLA looks awesome in red. And from Melbourne

Thank you so much. Happy to be here (finally). Yes it was extremely difficult but the fact that our baby girl is growing so fast, and I could not afford to keep both cars, meant I needed to let the CLA go as the back was getting way too difficult to load/unload the bub in and out of the car. I managed to do so for 2 months so that's a win in my books! lol. Happy to see a fellow Melbourne member!
