Can I get my Benz in the club?

[Jorgen]

Been here for some time, might as well do a build thread, because the car is looking as stock as ever at the moment.
My last car was a Mk2 Golf with some taste of US Spec and on BBS RM's 15x8.5/15x9.


Now onto the new car, it's a Mercedes-Benz 190, 1.8 4spd-automatic. Some extras, electric front windows, sunroof, passenger mirror.





Updates so far are only amber corner lights, removed the rear tint and US sized plates. Also fixed the leaking water pump.
On Monday, found a set of BBS RF's for a really cheap price from a local ad. They are RF014, 16x7.5, ET33, 4x100




Not sure yet how I'm gonna make them fit. 3 options really - adapters, redrill or center swap. If anyone is interested in swapping 16" centers, let me know.
The next problem is how I'm gonna get it low, because there are so many options. If anyone can suggest a great option, yet again, let me know.
Progress will be slow though, but it will get somewhere soon.

One of the cheap and good option for lowering is E36 front coilovers in the front, and Saab 900 sport shock with cut lowering springs in the back.

Your Golf Mk2 was beautiful, good luck with 190

Finally saw the wheels after almost a month has passed since I bought them. They arein really good shape, all original BBS bolts, even has factory stickers on the barrels. Slight curbing on the lips, nothing major. They will however see a complete restoration. Should split them during Christmas. Also did a bad testfit, can't bolt them on due to CB.

It's a start.

haha! I love Ye music... funny and has messaging

Well this turned from Benz to Yeezus fast, can't complain doe, Yeezus is the shit.

No updates at the moment, been enjoying the winter with this car, got the yearly inspection done. Nothing major, brake lines and hoses need to be replaced at some point. Hopefully getting the centers swapped soon and taking an order for lows next month.

HAHA thread needs more Ye

[Jorgen]

I sold the RFs. Too sketchy to swap centers with someone over the internet and fitting 4x100 wheels to a Merc is too much of a hassle. Got a great profit off them and will look for wheels in correct PCD now, hopefully find something soon.

BBS RF 007 & 008 17x8.5/9.5

Swapped the barrels and end result is 17x8 ja 17x10
