Default Chunks new car
Finally bought my new car

Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport

She is a bit of a beast. AMG did their bit on the car, but Brabus have had their hands on this one, they fitted their ECU and tuned it

Bonus bit with this one.... The £3900 Nappa electric leathers








Not much spare room in here, but i'm sure i can fit something in.....

It's the same basic engine as the 190E cosssie, but AMG made a few changes to it for the Kompressor.

I'm not complaining

Your scoob is slower than my Merc

Chunky.....chunky...........chunky.

You sir are a lesbian.

No mate that looks a beast. Well put together lump those too. Bet she goes on some jungle juice etc.

What size super charger they run?

Also how good do them seats wipe down? May need to borrow it for my dogging sessions as my seats stain and the car is too loud.

Thanks to AndyWRX for Spraying my temporary grill

Bought a grill and sprayed it black to make sure it looks good on my C230. As mine is Ltd edition, i really didnt want to spray the grill & not like it...

think it looks good so going to do my rare one in black





Fitted my new mats today too

Suppose it depends if they're stuck on or not - looks great without but if it means a boot respray is it worth it?

They are easy to remove, just the black 3M tape type stuff, but boot does need a spray anyway as there is the usual rust and a scatch

UPDATE!!!

Got bored of how the engine bay looks. So when i had a few spare minutes (with help from Andy) we set about my engine.

I will get shot by Mercedes enthusiasts for hiding the red, it's like de-spoilering a scoob and getting rid of the burble.

From this....



To this.....



Now it all needs a clean & something to make the black shine

Had my new tyres on about a month now, still sideways all the time.... it's brilliant

K&N air filter fitted
Uprated spark plugs ready to go in

Next up are window tints and an AMG exhaust

Bit of an update


After a recent trip to Mercedes-Benz of Redhill, finally found out a few of the mods


AMG HPS Generation 1 supercharger
Kleemann reduced size supercharger clutch
Bosch High flow fuel pump

Got a pile of panels to fit to her to get rid of the rust spots inc, door, boot, front wing
Set of AMG pedals to fit

On the lookout for some Samco to tart the engine bay up a bit

Replaced the brake pads that looked nearly new. They were Halford quality, so fitted genuine Mercedes ones. Stops a hell of a lot better now

Even used it as a wedding car in the summer....

Had a little play with the car while i've been off work

New wipers, very highly recommended by Moley

Tracked down the seller on ebay that Gary used... Mr Wiper.

£6.95 for 2 wipers, even though my car has a single wiper



Now tipping down outside so can give them a test
