Default Newbe checking in...

Greetings,

I don't know how I missed this forum, but finally found it in a search to get the low H7 lamp replaced. Thanks to several posters in the technical forum, that task went well. My Crossfire was made in December 2003 and joined us in 2005 as a new car.

Well, first things first; the question of my first post is how does one determine the serial number?

Regards, T-h

The VIN# can be seen in front of the driver, at the bottom of the windshield. The last 5 digits were sequential from day 1. There were 76,047 total, a little over 50,000 brought into the USA.

Here's # 76,028

Glad you found us, you will not be disappointed with the people here or the info you will find.

Are you by chance the one Ann ran into off Woodward Ave. with the Lambo doors??

Welcome aboard,
John

haha nope, no Lambo doors for me, thats a little too far in my opinion! While I wanted mine to have the "murdered out" look, which is all black, I dont want the lambo doors, Id feel a little more ghetto then haha. My next upgrade is the mercedes logo on the front and back, as well as the mercedes engine cover. Likely also tinted out lights and the eyebrows............. but its coming along!
