Wake Up

this must be the underused forum of the century.
Why is the V class so badly served on MBWorld?
even though I own 3 Mercs,the other classes forums are very active.
I have to log in onto another forum for my V class.
Should'nt we make this forum lively and more interesting about the V class?
My Vito 114 [v230] auto,2002 model had some work done to it:
1-18X8.5 S class wheels,polished alloys with 245/45/18 yokohamas
2-reverse sensors
3-tinted windows
4- all wood ****pit
5-front elec windows,fitted central locking with remote
6-Gemini alarm
7-Meta bluetooth .operates with radio[mute on,off]
8-Pioneer 6600,DVD,auto screen,TV module,4 VDO speakers,4 channel Lanzar
amp,12" 400W Lanzar Sub.
9-roof bars[silver]
10-Dual oval rear exaust.

And I've only had it for 3 months...

nextt on the list:uprated brakes,springs,full carpeting,leather interior,
superchip,K&N filter,and I think that's it for this year.....

Alan,nice van...
Certainly,nicer than mine...
What size wheels do you have on it and tyres?
I had to take off the 18's as they were making the ride very bad and
putting lots of pressure on the front steering,etc...
I'm thinking to put only 16's on it with wide rims...
Was the interior leather already?
I'll post pics of mine soon...

Thanks
The Wheels are standed merc 16inch with 225/55VR tyres instead of 225/60 ,mainly due to price £55 instead of £90 each.Trouble is it reminds me of the original mini cooper with small wide wheels.The leather was standard as was the twin sunroofs.
