Soon to be a MB Owner!

[funkyfresh]

Hi everyone,

Joining the forum as I will be the proud owner of a C250 CDI AMG Sport Coupe Auto in Iridium Silver.

The car should be delivered in around 2 weeks, and I can't wait to get it!

My current car is a 1.6 Audi A3 Auto, so I'm looking forward to putting my foot down and something actually happening. Will update this thread with pics as soon as I can.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone on the forum. I've already spent many hours going through various threads. Amazing the wealth of knowledge on here.

Excellent! New car or a used example?

Congrats on your new amg.

Thanks guys! It's a new car, got a great deal on a lease. I would have preferred one in Obsidian Black but the only one available was in silver. Seems there are a lot of C220's available but hardly any C250's. At least that's what they told me

Hello, and welcome to the light.

Premium pack? I chose Obsidian black on a C220 estate AMG Premium Plus...take delivery in September. I'm actually having 2nd thoughts on the black, no contrast with the black roof or black interior. Looks menacing though. Merc use silver alot in press photo's...looks good me!

I've just gone for the car with no options as that's what was available, still seems to have a fair bit of kit on it.

I think you'll have a cracking car, I absolutely love black on black, I think it's so elegant.

I hope the silver comes out ok!

 

[james.raban]

I'm sure the silver will be awesome fella!

 

[funkyfresh]

In love!

Just an update for everyone, got the car yesterday and I am in love!

I've done a mixture of driving and I just love how smooth and powerful the car is. The level of refinement is amazing.

All I can think about now is getting home and driving the car!

Will post some pics once I've given her a good clean, not too keen on the bug splatter finish

 

[james.raban]

Sounds great...silver looking good in the August sun?

Congrats on the new car, look forward to some pictures.

Welcome

 

[funkyfresh]

It does! I was really happy in the end with how the car looks. Quite like the silver now, and I think my initial worries about the colour have gone. Very happy with it!

Car Pics

So I quickly snapped a couple of pictures yesterday of the car. Haven't had a chance to clean it so please excuse the dirt!

Still love the car! Makes me smile so much. Love how it's silent and comfortable when I want it to be but then can bark into life when I put my foot down.

Looking forward to getting out to a meet soon!

Cheers, Funky.
