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 :norty:

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

Sweet as a nut mate. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Nize ze german beastie there Herr Lee:10:

looks excellent mate even better in real life, those seats are so comfey :nod:

Been spending on ebay today.... will post pics when my new goodies turn up :whistle:

Started a bit of cleaning on her today. She is even prettier under all the dirt on the engine

omg ive just seen what you bought :grin: think you should get ppl to guess what it is lol

I am getting old :lol:

lol its not getting old mate, its just being prepared lol

Nice one mate, comfy, luxury and performance
Whats the spec then, straight six i am guessing

2.3-16 Cosworth engine, AMG supercharger, tuned by brabus. Running approx 280bhp

Est 170 mph
0-60 Late 7's

Got so many toys on it, it weighs more than 600kg more than my old scoob :shock:


Not bad for under £2000 :-o

Nice mate, masses of torque i bet.
Best engine in a merc, loved the 190 cossie.

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 :norty:

Is everyone going German???

chunk mate nice car will it be a volvo with a caravan next lol

More likely see a caravan on the back of your scoob than on this

Your scoob is slower than my Merc :lol:

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.


Master

This was the CLK 230K Kleemann's that I sold my m8:doubleup:

I soooooooo wish we could have afforded to keep it:cry:

Finally got to take it for a blat last night....


OMG!!! :-o

It's a pure animal




MrX??? That is a very pretty car. Shame you couldn't have kept it

Really is a nice car, think youve got your self a gooden there mate :10:

really don't know what to do

Do I leave the old girl standard looking - Stealth mode

Or go for the AMG wheels & black windows

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k5...hunk/Maybe.jpg


Doing the black grille inserts whatever look i go for

those AMG wheels look pimpin on a merc, i'd do it :doubleup:

go for the wheels mate they look really good, you can allways put the others on and sell the amg ones if you dont like them

I had a 190e cosworth, The kit makes you stand out, Used to get loads of looks,
Do it you know it makes sense:grin:

Omg Mercs, Bmw's do you lot not realise this is a Subaru forum??? :brickwall: Nice looking piece of kit mate. Is this comming to the ring? :drive:

Maybe next year :nod:

I'm a Subaru owners partner and former owner, and my brother (Moley_WRX) owns one. Which means i'm noit leaving this site :lol:

My Merc is a Subaru funded car, sold The Panda to buy it :lol:


SurreyScoobies is a forum about bikes & dogs

And hopefully not too many women who fit into both categories ;)

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

it aint bad :-D



My mate Allan owns the Legacy, but he is selling it very soon......

To be replace with a newer one :CUP:

It's a 2.5 non-turbo with full lux pack

Will be doing a full for sale thread when it goes up for sale

your welcome mate ill get your other one done soon too it has made a big difference

Can't decide if to debadge the Merc or not

What do you all think?


With

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k5...hunk/nonon.jpg


Without

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k5...unk/media1.jpg

without for me, looks much more sleek :doubleup:

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

Debadge it mate

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

In which case out with the hairdrier!

Off they come and as Nick said, when Emmas not looking, steal the hairdryer:razz::angst:

De-badge

Got the Kompressor grill in black now on the car.... thanks AndyWRX

Booked into Mercedes in Redhill for poly-v belts to be replaced on friday

Now 2 of my tyres are down to 1.1mm, i have had to order the new ones. Gone for 4 of these.....

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

looks good mate very stealthy, think the window tints will set it off nicely

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....

Needs the rear windows tinted. Go up and see Mark and Chris @ Road Radio

You could treat me to them for Christmas

Errrr..... no!!!!

Wow! Clearly, it's good at the top. Good work.

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

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k5...FlatWipers.jpg

Now tipping down outside so can give them a test

Also finally got round to carbon wrapping the trims on the doors...
