As you can see its pretty damn near mint as you can feasibly expect for a 1995 Mercedes. However, it needs a bit more style, so I got these.. ssr strahls 17x8 and 17x9. they reminded me of the 8 holes also everyone seems to just fit AMG wheels on which is a bit boring..

obviously it needs some lowering stick - i got these for a BARGAIN - reckon ill need to cut a coil off em though.

Was already wondering if you started a taxi service

I forgot they used these in Europe as taxis, except this is a 3.2 coupe so hardly a taxi now is it! anyway they dont have the taxi image here, we had Nissan bluebirds, and Toyota carinas, and Peugeot 405's

Anyway so I fitted the billys on but theres a problem with ride height, the front is ok.... but the rear is still near enough the stock height! I think ill have to take a coil off the rear.

the handling is so improved, its almost comical but the magic carpet ride has gone.

Haha I think it is. I'm not too sure about the colour of the merc, but I'm not paying to replace it.

That Mercedes, I'm gonna slam it, smoke it then sell it. Just something different.

That Merc has quite wide panel gaps - have you all its history?

is all OK? Has it had a crump?

Honest John at DT swears by W123s!

Hpi clear and the boot / under bonnet are all straight.

The panel gaps look fine in real life, the car has had a respray at one point not long ago. There's no stone chips or rust.
