My Mercedes C 180 1997

[lead_foot]

I have just recently bought this

1997 R reg Mercedes C180 classic
Lowered suspension
19" brabus replica wheels .

Is lovely to drive , and considering just turned 19 i dont think is bad at all.

Why has it got a C43 badge on the back ?

So that people think twice before messing with his mojo....

Firstly the badge has to go. Also IMO, I think the wheels are too big. The ones in the pic above however

Overall however, good choice and outside the box for a 19 y/o

Well done on the new car

It looks better in this photo.



Those wheels make it look a bit drugdealertastic.

[Maty]

I like that and as previously mentioned a bit different for a 19 y/o!

I was looking at that in the classfields yesterday. whats your insurance like? im gona consider a C200 when my 2 years no claims come through.

AMG monoblocks are just about the best looking wheel on the W202. The others pictured are too bling. Blech!

The c36 and c55 Amg versions are ace its trying to find a low mileage one thats the problem.

[Beyond Rational]

I bet the ride comfort is off the scale with those wheels.

Hi mate

[190E Matt]

Ah another 19 year old with a Merc

I was thinking of a C Class (W202) as a next car (principly because it's easier to tune and I have a strange urge to stick with Mercedes), I am not too sure on the styling though.

Hope you enjoy MB ownership; I was enjoying my 190E up until the moment the alternator broke.

Thanks for the comments ,

for person who asked about insurance at 19 . search around and there are ways around the ridiculous prices at the minute .

Also as it happens this is my 2nd w202 merc , i had one when i was 17 aswel had a 2ltr manual esprit ,

Strange though as im sure this 1.8 is quicker than my 2ltr one was.

That looks a total and utter mess ! What a shame to ruin a car with all that blingy crap. You should live in Slough with a car like that, the place if full of em !

You must be either mad ! Gay ! or Stupid ! to drive a car like that, basically a clapped out Merc 190. Why not buy the car you always wanted 'a Nova' !

Since when does a set of wheels count as "all that blingy crap"? I note you don't list your car in your profile, so you're free to anonymously abuse other people, classy.
