    Who says black cars always look dirty...

    I took delivery of a 2015 obsidian black C220 AMG LINE last month and have to say how disappointed I am with the paint finish. Mine is orange peely and in the wrong light is quite noticeable. It's looks more noticeable now it's had a polish and a couple of coats of blackfire wax/sealant. i...

    W205 Sport Trim - Black or White ?

    I had the same dilemma. I love black cars and personally think it looks classier in black but more sporty in white maybe? Both colours require the car to be kept clean as dirty neither look great, whereas metallic greys and silvers can get away with it. Doesn't bother me too much as I...

    Auto Express Driver Power Survey 2015

    Agreed. Lower expectations and less of them on the road. Interesting how the best selling compact exec cars ie bmw, merc and Audi are nowhere. Also you do find that people who own dacia's, Kia's etc kind of feel they have a point to prove and have to justify their decision so are always keen...

    New C-class - Please advise me :)

    I know what you mean with the AMG LINE. I think for ultimate Mercedes ride comfort you are better off with the sport. That also seems to be the verdict of most reviews. I however have ordered an AMG line in black because the big kid in me took over when ordering and I'm happy to sacrifice a bit...

    W205 start stop

    Agreed. It would be useful/interesting. I dont take delivery until the new year but would be good to hear owners first impressions rather than the usual you tube reviews by journalists which whilst they seem positive are all very samey.

    'Eurocharged' remap experience

    Good stuff. Glad its resolved and the business in question should come out unscathed. I for one would use them in future.

    New w205 owner

    Hi all. I joined the forum last year when I was about to change my car for an 09 plate C63. That never happened in the end but I have now just ordered a 2015 C220 AMG Line. Slightly different to a C63!!, but just fancied going 'new' again and was bowled over by the looks of the new C.

    Re-Map or Tuning Box!

    Remap for me. A remap will be done specifically for your car (even the same models can vary) where's the tuning boxes are generic. A good mapper will get the most out of the car for both performance and economy and are worth their weight in gold.

    To Detail or not to Detail?

    I generally strip off the old wax, clay, Polish then wax twice a year. I find that doing that it Makes the car easier to clean through the year with much better results even just washing and also gives a bit more protection from grime/birds etc. I found Blackfire products work very well...

    DTM 2012 MB and Audi

    Looking good. Was lucky enough to go to Brands a couple of weeks ago and watch it. First time I had been and was amazed at the noise. I didnt think it would be nearly as loud as F1, but was wrong!.

    Engine bay pressure washing / steaming and foaming question

    Agreed. There isnt any need to attack it with a pressure washer. I tend to cover electrics with tin foil or plastic bags. Then, with a paint brush go over everywhere with a degreaser, then very lightly rinse either with a hose on a fine spray, or a pressurised bottle. Then start the engine and...

    PPP difference?

    Hi, I am completely new to all things merc, so need some advice and pointers if possible. I am currently looking out for a 2008/2009 C63 and have read/seen that there is a Performance pack that some seem to have. Can someone tell me what difference BHP/lbft this makes and is it something that...

    Hi guys, I am currently looking to buy a 2008/2009 C63. Absolute car nut, and always enjoyed belonging to good car forums for whichever make I have at the time. I will post up a few questions as I get them, but is there anything I need to look out for specifically?. Steve
