Hi all,
New member here, I recently bought a '08 Vito Sport-X which is my first Mercedes so I thought I'd sign up here and benefit from owners knowledge.
It has replaced my Ford F150 Lightning as my work van/trackday tow car and now due to the birth of my first daughter 1year ago it will be the occasional family wagon when the larger load area is needed. So far the 3.0 V6 hasn't disappointed and the step down in power hasn't been too bad.
The previous owner added some 'choice' mods which I am the process of removing and/or improving. So far I have removed some horrible daytime running lights and a hideous twin exhaust that stuck out about 4 inches from the rear bumper!
Spec as it stands is:- Black LWB 5 seater in black leather with grey inserts. Solid barn doors. Carpeted rear bulkhead. Checker plated rear cargo area. Sun visor above windscreen (it's growing on me) rear roof mounted L.E.D spot lights for loading trailer in the dark (not my taste at first but have already come in handy so will stay). Wolfrace twin 5 spoke black with chrome rim alloys.
Future mods:- Fit Brabus wheels (newer shape ordered) so wolf race wheels will be for sale soon. Fit JBL speakers in doors to replace standards, speakers in rear bulkhead. Also fit power inverter to provide 240v sockets. Fit headrest DVD for daughter. Fit rear camera to keep an eye on trailer whilst towing track car. Can this be fitted to Command unit?
