Hello & Welcome, I am from India and quite new here too. You have definately come to the right place, great group, helpful, friendly and knowladgeable.

Mercedes and particularly theW201 are quite rare in India, I just missed buying a 2.6 in July this year. You are very fortunate as your dad owns a MB service set up.

Drive safe.

welcome to the forum dude.

I like the dark grey on the lamborghini murcielago. I think the colour is grigio avlon. Saw a skyline gtr that had this colour and black wheels. awesome.

have to say the pic shows the colour looking a bit flat but the photo of the skyline showed a deep richness.

Oh and sorry for the dirty car im going to wash her tomorrow, what do you guys think of the racks on or off?? as for the stickers they were on their when i bought the car.

So i guess you're into mountain-biking?
The roof rack is only acceptable when there's something on it.
(I've got a Thule one, and I hate the look even though I know it's the best quality).
Still, they are very handy...

Seriously - nice car if you lose the Turbo badge & Roof rack for a while.
Definitely needs new paint though.
Don't go crazy with the modifications, you'll ruin it ;)

Turbo badge only belongs when you have a turbo :D even then I wouldnt bother, let them figure it out at the traffic lights!

Never saw the deflector thingy on the roof rack before, still unless you use it much you might as well take it off, it wont do wonders for your fuel economy :)
