@ smartchoice,I didn't see your name mentioned in that post so what's your point? CEO gave a warning card to his employee that will expire in 20yrs plus time so what's your own? I thought one of the moderators of Nairaland banned you that made you say you want to leave. Well,i rest my case.

No worries Bros.



Gee welcome back , we've got to do some drifting and twisting like these ones here:

When discussing matters such as drifting or cone slalom-tackling, a Maybach is probably the last car that comes to mind. This is precisely the reason for which seeing F1 development racer Susie Wolf bashing a 57S way past the limit made our day. Naturally, we wanted to share this with you.

I'd love to see the S-Class or BMW 7 Series being drifted here. Sure there is at least one Maybach in Abuja, but it isn't used for drifting LOL.
And this one is being drifted by a lady!!

Hmm! very interesting
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:15pm On Oct 27, 2014
Armed with the advise from auhanson that bushings could be worked instead of being replaced I took a trip to Trinity in Apapa the home of benz parts and I got mine replaced.

The worn bushings.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:23pm On Oct 27, 2014
The new ones installed along side the new linkages.

After all said and done in about 5hrs the thoroughly done work was over , the gumming alone took me about 4 hrs, because i wanted it the best that will last, since Benz is about durability.
nice one bro, had mine done for abt 7k.

if I had that car the only possible face lift for me will be headlamps, front spoiler, and the rims. something like this......

Ok this should be from 2004. The interior will assist confirm if it's a 2004 or 2005 because there wasn't an Harman Kardon sound system installed in the 2004 and the steering of the 2004 is different from the 2005.

I would be putting the Headlamps with Ballasts OEM, I'm getting those exact OEM rims, The front bumper is quite pricey if I get a good swap deal I might change plus an interior upgrade i.e The cluster, Upper control Panel, AC Panel and Command unit stereo all OEM aka follow come.

I'm having less orgasms now cos I have been driving responsibly cos of the new bushings and coupled with the fact that I entered a bad pothole that bent my rim on descending 3MB changed a ball joint got that for 4k in Trinity today. Luckily I bought the same 7 finger rim on my spare so I'm rocking my spare now would be doing a swap for the new styled rim. You need to look at the speedo or you won't know the difference btw 120 and 160 on a lonely 3MB.

This is probably a 2006 Kompressor.

There's a C350 exactly like that so it may not be a kompressor. Also it's between a 2004-2006 but not sure the exact year.

2004 to 2006 for same Exterior but 2007 has a complete different alloy wheels. You can google it.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 8:58pm On Oct 29, 2014
@ Cne010.... The first and second pics are for 2004 Mercedes C230 Kompressor interior and exterior while the 3rd is for the 2005 C230 Kompressor. If you notice the interior pics,the steering and sound system of the 2004 are different from the 2005 but they both have the same exterior. The 2004 sound system is BOSE while the 2005 comes with Harman Kardon which was the first year it was introduced on the W203 C Class. Even the instrument cluster are not same. A lot changed from 2005 but just that it has the same Exterior.
