After 2 years of wonderful AMG ownership the time came to part company with my beloved C55, honestly, it's the best car I've owned by a country mile, the combination performance modification polished off an already great car, reliable and amazing to drive and a car I don't think I'll ever be...

The car is the 203 (C55 AMG) I have identified what appears to be the SLK Space Master Vredestein 145/70/17 92P in the boot, I thought it would be an idea to check the fitment on the car and inflate it, well it fits over the rear SLK55 rear brakes but the onboard Merc mini compressor used to...
