New here and new to MB ownership

[Chimpsteaparty]

Hi all,

New here and new to owning a Merc.

Having owned several other German made cars (mostly 2L diesels) to commute to work in, I decided to take a leap and buy a Merc.

Jumped straight in with a 2013 C63 Estate. The missus said I had to get something practical hence the estate owned it for 5 months now, travelled across Europe in it and put 12k miles on it, best decision I've made, makes me giggle like a kid everytime I drive it.

The previous owner tinkered with it somewhat, the rattle canned black mirrors will be going along with the aftermarket wheels which are criminal IMO.

Welcome to the forum. Not a bad first choice.

Cant really see the wheels to make any comment.

Seems a rear view mirror was changed and needs a paint.

In the meantime enjoy the forum and the ride.

Have fun

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Abit of a better view of the wheels, they're not the worst but my preference would certainly be the 19" wheels it was sold with (previous owner cracked one, so replaced them all with them ones, weirdly)

The mirrors have a paint job that comes off if it's rubbed and the black stripe, I think it suits the car but it's been cut square where it meets the rear arches :/

You can get an idea of the original wheels at alloywheels direct, they usually have good stock.

I guess the PO wanted a bit of a contrast black/white look with the wheels, stripe and mirror housing. All easy to get the car how you want.

Lovely looking car!

Welcome to the forum.

Not a fan of the wheels either and I see the previous owner stuck the 507 decals along the sides too.

Looking at the pic again. Are those plastic wind deflectors on the windows original....

They're another previous owner addition, split on them, don't look the greatest but nice when it's raining to have the window cracked a bit.
