Right colour and kit it’ll look plenty aggressive enough. And then there’s the noise.

I think the whole aggressive look is starting to disappear with new models. Seems most manufacturers just use the same moulds for virtually every model then just add better engine some nice brakes and a bit of tech.
Look at the new RS5 very boring looks wise

I like the current C class but to my eye the saloon looks better resolved, though that looks a very nice car. The PE is a bit mad and my wife is terrified of the performance and the size, which is making me wonder how long I will keep it for, but I do love it's Jekyll & Hyde nature, never owned a car with such a split personality, it is a freak.

I think this thread needs to come to a polite end now?? When someone has just bought a lovely new merc it’s doesn’t seem right for it to appear on a thread titled “bad day “
Hopefully my bad day is now in the past 👍 onwards and upwards 👍👍👍

I shouldn’t have spoken so early. I finally get the car in to have the scratches on the bumper done. I turn up to collect this afternoon and the first words uttered from one of the owners of the paint Shop “ We didn’t go overboard on the washing with this weather !!!” It’s been a gorgeous sunny dry day.
I didn’t know how to answer that one 😂
I then look at the bumper and see they have only painted the upper right front and stopped on the natural line above the vents, not fully getting fid of all the scratches.
I point to the scratch, we both bend down to have a closer look at which point he wets his finger rubs it across the scratch and says “ You can hardly see it when it’s wet!!!”
He then offers to touch it up with a very fine brush and offers me a full bumper respray in a couple of years time at a reduced price once more stone chips have occurred.
I stay calm and ask for it to be done properly and re book.
What I’m actually thinking is not allowed on this forum 😩😩
