This thing looks just beautiful.

i like that you're only running on 1 side

i assume this bumper is gonna need painting?

dunno how hard that would be, but would it be able to change the right side so that it seems stock that you only have the exhaust on the left

glad i'm subbed to this thread

gilberg delivers

Yes i will only have 1 outlet in the diffusor so it looks original =) would just look stupid in my mind with t2 outtakes in the diffusor and only exhaust in one =p hehe.

One of the key things in my mind when i do something on a car is that it have to look "original" and not "home made" and look like itīs suposed to be that way =)

Thanks man, wil do my best to get this thing lookin hard

Now i have ordered c63 front and rear bumper =)

And since itīs not an real amg i planning on running dubble amg exhaust tips just on one side like this =)

[D.Gillberg]

It hurts that i think the same thing myself ;-p

[P78]

i can't help but wondering how they would have looked like on your former merc

[D.Gillberg]

Now the car is parked in the garage for the winter so i will hopefully start working on it soon =)

Some pics a friend of mine took in the garage one evening when i was polishing the rims =)

I would agree about S204/212. After my Merc I tried Golf GTi MK6, Skoda Superb Combi, they were nice as well, but anyway Merc is something special always. I would respect family cars like W124, W126, C126, W140, C140 forever
Don't know yet may be I will go for S211... But today it is difficult to find nice one.
What is the engine on your S204?

Yeah i think i am stuck for the rest of my life with mercedes, and w124 have a special place in my heart =)

Hello! Verry nice s204 you had there, i like that you painted the chrome, looks way better when painted black =)

Thank you! took me some hours to get em looking like that and im still not done =)

As soon as i get to work on the air, i will post everything =)

I think you should do that mercedes 204/212 is in my mind the best new put together cars that you can by these days =) get a realy good qualityfeel of the cars =)

Again, thanx! =)

Hi, indeed very rare choice for the project, but it is fantastic! I had S204 couple of years ago. The only thing I did with suspension was H&R springs -35mm. I can share some pics if you don't mind:

From the very beginning it was like that:


Then I finally found Carlssons 19s 8,5 front and 10 rear. Were in bad shape and were painted for me unproperly



Finally I installed springs and made some shadow line by painting all chrome except relings to glossy black


As well I had nice winter mode found them in Germany and bought from there. They were perfect



Sorry for too many pics BTW your Brabus and their restoration are perfect!!!
My next project was on coilcovers.
I will appreciate if you could share later on your air setup and instalation process.

I am now thinking of S204 again or S212

Good luck man!!! Very nice ideas, style!!!

I love the w211 you've made, and I also like the way you're doing with these w204..

but imo, 20" is oversized, I think 19 would look and rides better..maybe some concave wheels with amg bumpers (very important imo, like you've done on the w211)

Thank you verry much =)

the w204 have wider wheelarches than the w211. so 20" on this looks like 19" on the w211 =)

And since im going air, 20" will look fine =)

im pretty tierd of concave wheels since everybody runs on them ( even to they look verry good )

So this 3 piece brabus wheel is a bit more exciting than a massproduced wheel =)

Yes i will fit an amg kit when i am done with the rims =)
