w210 e240 Build thread

[blink_me92]

How you all doing folks, thought i would like to share my joy. I recently had an upgrade from w202 C280 to an w210 elegance E240.

To be honest the car is flawless, black on black with 32k miles in it.
Not much has been done to it besides installing a new CD player, but I have a few things in mind.

Here is when I first picked it up from the seller.



Unlike my c280, this will be a slow build knowing the fact that the parts for this car is quite expensive in my country. Right after I picked it up...i had a good friend of mine buffed the car and clay waxed it to maxed out the original paint and took off the tints.




I already have a set of wheels that I am going to put on the car, and they are Lorinser RSK II 18 by 9 and 10.5, with a 2 inch lips up front and 3.25 on the rears. Wheels is currently still on the work (repolished lips and etc) . As of today I am quite positive that i will be running 225 and 235 on the rear. I already have a set of cut eibach sport kits and billsteins shocks laying around the house.

here are the wheels...waiting to be sealed.




Other than that I already have these things in mind to install

- electric rear sun shade
- OEM folding mirrors
- Jet washer lamps
- halfcut roof of OEM W210 with sunroof
- and other goodies from the standard of a w210 Avantgarde

be on the look out fellas, as I know there arent much mercedes love in stanceworks.

Here are pics of my c280 on Napre wheels 17 by 9 and 10.5 for shit and giggles...

over the weekend i purchased a set of eibach springs...lower the bish..



to acquire the low that I want...i had to cut the spring a coil or to up front and in the rear....and this is the finish products..




I am almost definite that I will lower the car once I get my lorinser on...

Thanks boss!

anyways...couple of updates.

Its been raining very bad lately and Jakarta was hit with a massive flood last week or so.

The rain has been leaving spots to my car so I decided to give it a nice wax...anyways, all i have is a crappy cellphone pics and here they are....

These bad boys with elbow grease is the shizz


end result...dont mind the pink Scooter....my daily is the red hot 250r with couple of goodies on them as well





I know most of you guys are tired of my wheels pic...but here is the final result. The final measurements are 18 by 9 and 10.5 on 2 and 3.25 outer lips. I will run 225 and 235 40's on these bad boys, with 10-15mm all around, depending on the fitment.

i should be getting those things done by next week.

28 January update

over the weekend, I traded ,my c280 cluster plus a lil a bit of cash on my end for a rear OEM electric sun shade, should be installing that very soon as well.

Update 30 January

Last night I decided to pay a visit to my buddy's workshop to install new tires...all and all, nothing fancy i decided to with 235/40 and 255/35 on my 18 9 by 10.5.

To be frank the reason why I choose those tire is that, the barrels on these lorinsers are very thin, and the roads down here is rough...potholes everywhere.

the final offset is yet to be confirm as I will still be needing to make spacer all around, the rear sits perfectly imo, however the fronts needs another 10-15...and fender roll is badly needed as well....

I think imma go with this height for a while....not sure till when but not for long i guess...

Here is the pic for those who are curious..crappy blackberry pics FTW!









and here is my old car that my buddy bought from me (who owns the shop). The car is now sitting on 3 piece carlsson rx's 17 by 9.5 and 11
