My C220 CDI [pics]

[nickvandijk]

Thought i'd stick some pictures of my CDI 220 which I've owned for six months now. Must say I'm enjoying it! I've always had smaller hatchbacks like the Golf mk4 GTi, so to move to the C class was a big jump!

My love of biger cars came when I was travelling and bought a Ford Falcon 3.9l auto in Australia, that was superb fun!

Anyway, I'll get to the pictures. They're not great but if the weather ever gets better then they'll improve! I have a few questions I want to ask later on so hopefully some people will be able to answer!

And I've just made an Ebay purchase to improve it a little. The current wheels really let the car down so I splashed out (still in the box!):

Nice photos!

Welcome to the forums Nick!

I was just thinking - before seeing the last pic - that the wheels were letting it down!
Very nice.
I am also a recent C220 CDI owner. One of the things that I like about the car is the wheels - nice and easy to clean.

Thanks for the welcome! Everytime I clean it I think how c**p the wheels are!

I've just got to decide on tyres and what wheel bolts to get as mine are so rusty. Any help is very appreciated! I don't even know if my original wheel bolts will do the job...

Mmmmmm nice car.....nice wheels! You may have already found this site . I came across it the other day looking for tyres. The prices look very competitive and the site seems quite hassle free...
