A160AV in Hong Kong

hi, nice to meet you guys! my girlfriend and I have our first baby benz years ago in Hong kong, we love the car so much and it is very rare and eye-catching on the street. I won't say it's a very nice and reliable car compare to my previous Japanese Mazda, (spent over HKD20000, around us2.5k to fix little problems so far - chip for fuel supply, censor right behind the driving wheel, replaced a set of bilsten shocks and springs...) but the compact outside and roomy inside fit perfectly in the most crowded city here. Sometimes I really want to modify the car to make it look even better, however, no matter how hard we search, there's only one MB sole dealer selling very expensive AMG stuff for higher class... we feel so helpless for being a minority MB user while looking at other brabus rims, wald aero bodykit, wishing one day we can also have them all on my car! just wonder anyone here know anyway to have oversea trade for new or used parts, which I believe that could be a good business, will upload some my car pixs here on the gallery, cheers![:D]

I suppose you can install COMAND and TV tuner. That would make it unusual.

RE: A160AV in Hong Kong

usually we have only short trip since Hong Kong is such a small place without super highway, difficult to enjoy TV on the car. btw, I have replaced a sony MP3 stereo, one cd contain 100+ songs, no need to use cd changer at all! also the AMG front grill as u see on my attachments...
Thanks for your recommendation, at the moment I'd like to make up the outlook is my first priority.. [:D]

RE: A160AV in Hong Kong

Nice car....You got there...I think it's pratical to have smaller car in HK where it is very croweded and can easily find parking...etc...And A class is the right one since it has the best safety...

Hmmm Very Nice Car... Just On A Side Not... Don't Post Your Licence Plate Number On The Web... People Can Easily Use That To Steal your Identity... I Suggest you Remove it And Repost The Pics.. [|)]

But Onto The Car... Yeah I Actually Want Those Mags On My Car But Im About To Change It Something Else Soon And Can't Be Bothered... [:p]

Very Nice Car On the Whole [^]

RE: A160AV in Hong Kong

As A Past Owner Of A A160RS, I Can Safely Say That I Makes A Huge Difference... The Ride Is Hardly Affected But You Feel Much More Confidence In Taking Sharp Turns At Speed :D
