The Official Low-Budget Non-Baller Stance Thread!

[Mkv Flipp]

Car as it sits in these pics is right around 2000 dollars including the car, coils, wheels, bumper, etc.

Unfortunately it's no longer stanced at the moment because the Borbets sold, but once something else that's a deal pops up, it'll get lookin sexy again.

WOW! those borbets are f%^king cleaaan.

-Bought the car dirt cheap from a small dealer that had no idea what he had (needed a lot of tlc) $50 worth of plastic welder and paint, $12 in upholstery dye
-AMG springs installed back in the 80's in Germany, I put in $20 shortened spring pads
-I refinished the AMG splits myself, already had the paint, $100 for OZ wheel tools. $200 set of Federal tires.
Lots of blood, sweat, and time.

this Merc is DOPE!

saw one on craigslist for $600 mint condition.
if not sold by next week, will have to get it.

If it's $600 I promise it isn't in mint condition.

^^^ For a budget setup, that Merc is effing BALLER.

Merc is fucking sweet! black grill and lack of front plate and its done

Thanks everyone . I try and keep everything DIY as possible. Even had to rebuild the cooling system in my garage after a foreign student with no insurance hit me. The grill is actually all black. with the frame sticker bombed in black and white stickers. Had no front plate and all black grill before the trim was black. It used to be "elegance edition" gray. and b4 that it was color matched polar white. Decided to shoot it to black for the "euro-spec" look to match the amber lights.
I plan to go all chrome with black fin AMG/avantgarde/ S600 style grill .


^ that Mk1 rocco is soooooo clean . Very nice. I always liked that vw orange for some reason


The 88 535i with hella front yellow fogs reminds me of old school rally cars Looks fresh. Love the yellow fogs man . Do you plan to ditch those meaty tires at all though ?

Excellent thread! I need to man up and twist my coils down in the front and take out one of the rings in the rear so i can go lower with my ebay specials and find some low offset wheels on craigslist so i can post up in this thread!

Spent less than $4000 on everything, even with the swap and wheels
