There's one for sale near me by a private owner. I would love to pick it up. Not sure I want 2 Benzes again

[Laef]

Well I'd say it's the simplest and cheapest temporary solution right now since one wheel is fucked up, and I kinda like it so...

The paint is already ordered anyway

[P78]

black no work for me either.


maybe color match it to the darker grey on your two tone

[loekaaz]

I must admit that the black wheels look a bit 'trailer-trash-ish'

[Mehowski]

You sure you don't want to keep the lips silver mate? Like the ones in the old photoshop?

Either way the ride height looks sweet man, has me thinking about cutting my own coils but I know I shouldn't haha

[Laef]

Activated my photoshop trial, so I did this... And this is what's next

[Laef]

DON'T do what I did on my last w201, Just buy the shit that the subie blowbangers use, I bought some cheap shit and I didn't follow the process needed to do it because I was in a rush and fucked up my euro tails. Any idea on how long the springs you have right now are?you might be inclined to purchasing some swift springs and making your life wayyyy easier. and are you by chance still on stock shocks?

Oh you mean like nightshades or something? Yeah already tried with a shitty rattle can and ended up cleaning the taillight with nail polish remover

Well, swift springs, I thought about it when I saw your thread. And it might be just great.

But honestly i'm getting there by cutting and it's like free (junk) stance haha...

I'm still on stock shocks, why is that?

[190Evan]

Haha thanks man!

- and a new spring compressor for moar low.

Hello budget build again...

Btw, is there a special type of paint to red out the taillights ?

that is indeed a huge difference, good job on that!!

Haha thanks man!

I was actually looking at the difference of the bushes in the background

Yeah right?! Winter sucks for bushes too

Anyway, headed to a wheel repair shop today.
Well, er, one wheel is bent and it'll be too expensive to repair right now... I'm just gonna make them "rebalanced" and put them back on the car asap.

So plan B:

- ordered new (thinner) front tires
- four cans of plastidip (yes I'm a bad person but it will do)
- and a new spring compressor for moar low.
