very cool car and nice swap - Do you have a separate thread on how to get the m111 to work in the w201?

[Junya]

those Lorinsers look on point!

[Shagan]

No, sadly i don't have separate thread for m111, but in short what you want is pre redesign m111 from w202/w210/w124 that has no coded key, engine holders form w124 that had m111 in it. It works on OEM Mercedes wiring but you need to make few adjustmens to adapt it for with w201 dasboard and battery.

Dobra pila stari hehe.

[loekaaz]

nice color

[esskay]

looking good, what exhaust you got on, whats it like ?

[Shagan]

Exhaust tips are from some old school Remus, rest is custom made by one of the best local manufacturers. It sounds great especially between 2-3k rpm, but is easy to live with on day to day basis. Got my new amber side blinkers other day, and friend just finished A-pillars for Morel tweeters, they look amazing, can't wait to instal them.

Nice! 911 numberplate

[Shagan]

Got my new front lip fitted and A pillars finished.

[Shagan]

I decided to take few a photos of my Benz as it is most of the time... Dirty, but that metallic brown covers is up nicely
Car is not realy that low i only scrape with front lip if i am not that careful, arches are rolled fronts and cut in the back. I don't recall having 5 people in the car, but with 4 of us it rides like any other day... and it's still realy comfortable :P If roads and parking spots were better i would go lower, but it is my daily...

You've done some great work there! Looks killer

[aljonizle]

that front lip just made the fron end look that much better keep it up!
