hello and welcome onboard

did you repaint your car from silver to gold?
did you strip your car in molecules when you had it repainted?

car looks nice, trunk is an interesting mod.
i hope you didn't have to drill your trunk to fit Duckie?
Duck spoiler reminds me of Interceptor car from Mad Max

those shuriken rims in the first picture are really nice, the other rims are really cool too.
what brand are they?

what did you lower your car with?
what brand of springs are you using?

do you have Koni adjustable shox?

Front spoiler lip, who sells them and how did you fit this lip?

Did you roll front and rear fenders?
they look very wide.
i can't remember if my C43 fenders are that wide from factory?

Do you have parktronic sensors on rear bumper?

can you show some interior pictures of your cluster, dashboard and centre console

[djjs]

Oh, you didn't read all the way down to the list did ya?
^ ^

It was silver then repainted to gold. Only stripped the sills and seals, I purposely didn't paint the inside, so when you open the dorrs you can still see the original color.
No holes were drilled for fitting the Duckie, it was glued and taped on securely using 3M and other Epoxy stuff.
These wheels are Messer Turbo Fan 1-piece cast version. (19x9J ET35 all around, spaced 15mm at the back with 225/35/19 tires all around)
The other wheels from before were Rotiform TMB 2-piece. (18x9 ET30 215/40/18, 18X10 ET22 225/40/18)

I lowered it with a set of Yellow Speed Coilovers with ride height and 30 levels of damping force adjustment. Spring rate and damper were custom ordered specs.
Front 18kg/mm, Rear 14kg/mm

I sell those lips here back in Asia, I could do international shipping if you guys are interested. Oh, and the Duckie too.
(The duckie was molded after late model trunk lids, so it is a direct perfect fit for 97 and on trunk/boot lids, for 93-96 will need to be fitted on by professionals.)

Fenders are rolled, I had those bends rolled back to straight and flush with the lines of the fenders. Which widens them by about 15-20mm each side.
I have another set of wheels that are 19x9.5 ET12 up front, 19x11 ET12 Rear, I rolled the fenders for them actually.
Yes parking sensors are there on the bumper.

I will take some interior pictures and post them up soon.

For the US the trunk lids were pre-update 94-97 and post-update with slight lip and extra crease below the plate years 98-00.

[perzbenz]

orralayyy amigo

[djjs]

We get the Euro version here, so our plate frames are wider, others are same as usual, 93-96/97 with flat top trunk lid and no crease below plate. 97/98-01 with slight lip and extra crease below plate.
US and Japan has narrower plate frames.

[Auxive]

Beautiful. Only thing I don't like is the red and black lines on the trunk extending from the tail lights.
But other than that, very clean build, very unique!

[predrag1]

I like the choice of color and the rims are interesting. Id ditch the spoiler and the lines across the trunk are unnecessary but to each his own. I think amber corner lights would make that color look even better

It looked good when it was silver too.

[Vetruck]

That rear shot made me think immediately of the Vintage BMW factory race car paint jobs. I was looking at the Hella reflector license plate panels but opted not to do it solely because I thought it looked BMW. Its a nice look, just not Mercedes looking from the rear in my opinion.

Color is tight.

[SD202]

can you email me some pictures and price of the lip shipped to CA? The bottom part of the lip. Not the Easy lip part. thats just garage door liner. it can be bought locally. sd2oh2@gmail.com Thanks, Color looks great btw.

[NW_Merc]

I'm sorry it looks like a giant roller skate, not feeling the wheels or the ricer rear spoiler. Colour looks good.

[96c280man]

don't like the rims but I like the car

[Bogdan Tsyura]

Nice pictures !!! Whatever you say but it looks sick

[Edward SB]

You know the rims say that you Sir. have very large stones....good for you ! love the car !

[CARiD]

There's a lot of work in this Benz, it definitely deserves respect. Are the fenders rolled?

[Edward SB]

the crazy rims make the car and absolute stand out, at first I was like what the heck,....But now I truly love them...it looks like a giant C/R car....it's a super toy...!

[djjs]

Fenders were rolled, now they are CUT...
Those early lips were in fact easylip stuff but with 2 different products combined. The top half was Juran Racing Multi Deflector cut to fit only in the center as support, then easylip at the bottom all around for the extended look. Juran's lip was made from harder rubber like materiel so it acted as support for the easylip.
Now no more easylip, I got the entire Ballistic turtle kit installed.
