Hey
This is my first MB and first car and she has 223000km on it. When I purchased she was in really bad shape beacause she had been in one place for 2 years. Now most of the bigger problems are fixed. ABS, ASD are next in list (+hundreds of smaller things), winter is coming and ASD would make it much funnier. :D
Also she needs new paint and I hope that that will come in spring.

I was afraid of that. I remember they made very cool motorized tin trucks and very credible-looking F1-type cars.
Yes... its a shame.

is that the OE spoiler for the ce?
Nope, it's a zender aftermarket spoiler, it was already there when I brought my CE and I still cant decide that should i leave or lose it when i'm going to repaint. Of course new color will be original 147 arctic white.
My plan is to keep original line outside and inside (maybe I'll make exception for audio... head, amp and speakers... but nothing spectacular, i mean more like stealth install oslt)

That's a nice car, and a good year. It's a good idea to repaint in the same color.
I like it with the deck spoiler on it- but it's a very personal thing to keep it or take it off.

Tallinn is a beautiful, lovely place, I had a wonderful time seeing the old town especially, a few years ago....I still have a small bottle of Vana Tallinn liquor and vodka left. The Finns made a business coming from Helsinki to shop in Tallinn and return. I loved your country.:)

i'd lower it just a tad, but that's just me.
You mean spoiler or car? If car then i have been thinking about -20mm sportline springs, I would like -40mm more but the roads are so bad and with -40 would be impossible to drive normaly. In the pic the tires are bit small too, 195/60 15 (OE are 195/65 15) and irl they look bit silly.
Btw are the ordinary and sportline shocks same?

yeah i meant the car, since there is that big gap between tire and fender.
