Very cool, really like what you've done so far. So will it still go on air now?

I bought a golf lip for mine, it didn't fit the valance is too curved. Scroll down my friend!  lol Love it when people use pics as replies! Thanks dude. quality - i've just enjoyed a few months of W123 280e ownership although I have to say I prefer the look of the T - looking forward to seeing it on the deck! They drive so damn nice don't they. Mine seems to like petrol stations ALOT lol Is yours a manual too? I think manuals are pretty rare. Cheers Man! This thread makes me sad  my white 200 is sat in a friends garage waiting for me to pull my finger out and sort some leaky fuel lines and give (get someone) to give it a tune up. The poor old girl has been pushed aside but the daily, an fantastically unreliable Eunos Grr! Really good work with everything you've done so far, the beer mat thing is a genius touch I may steal for mine actually .... Be interested to see what happens with the whitewalls, again something I'd planned for mine but the Eunos eat the money for tyres, black and silver plates etc.... Thread bookmarked! Ahh man, order the parts up and get it running again! Very cool, really like what you've done so far. So will it still go on air now? Ummm not so sure now as I'm looking at Honda's again already, 80's ones though so still retro! I need flippy head lights in my life! Would look boss on the floor, but £1.5K for a car I might not keep that long might just be a bit silly . . . I don't think ive ever seen a Nardi steering wheel suit an 80s car so well! Yea man, it's one of my favourite bits! Feels amazing in hand and makes it feel like your sailing a boat even more so Haha Cool car AND Cool pics.Bookmarked. Many thanks man  If anyone does like my photography please go ahead and like my page on FB. www.facebook.com/pages/Shoot-All-Photography/163083497077520Time for an update! Painted the other three arches and it now looks factory fresh and ready for winter salt. Managed to fit a MK1 golf chin spoiler to the front. It required lots of fannying with a jigsaw and file to get it to fit the curvature of the Merc front end. I absolutely love it though! Looks like it was meant to be there! Apologies for the Mobile phone images, Havn't had the time to get the DSLR out yet.    |

Awesome dude! Looks to be a great find and a quick turnaround from barnfind to cool motor! Good work. Ive got a 123 230 coupe on air if you want to have a look underneath at the setup?   Not sure where your located tho. Also, it was me that posted the pic of the the sidewall damage from the whitewall flaps on that other thread. Just go to your tyre fitters and get them to put a smear of tyre soap behind, should work. |

Did you do it yourself or did a company do it. Also how much was it if you don't mind me asking. I'm Bournemouth way mate, so pretty far! Another thing . . . what the hell is that below the rear bumper? |

Bought some German style pressed plates. Love 'em! See how long I can go before getting fined. Hoping it'll be alright due to the age of the vehicle.   |

Clean! No too sure on the combination of front spoiler and whitewalls though - both look great, but the spoiler feels a bit out of place. It'd work great with black steelies and blackwalls, but the whitewalls are too fresh to lose I also think it's too high for a stanceworks sticker! ;D Otherwise - Beautiful car, lovely interior. I'll follow this one |

I'll follow this one Yea man you seem to have the same ideas, I'm watching some dark coloured steel wheels on eBay at the mo actually And I know, It was originally going straight to the Hot rod shop to get air put after quoting £1K fitted I think they've shot them selves in the foot and they've gone all quiet. But as I thought about it more I would always be driving it as low as possible anyway so I'm sticking with a static drop. |

Hmmm - I think I'll give that spoiler a try too. Looks better than the 'usual' AMG/BBS/Zender etc. front spoilers. Subtle. But I think it would look better in body colour? I wish mine would be on the road allready... Cheers, Jan |

Just for a giggle I Repainted my steels in a nice apple green. You wont see it at all with the hub caps on but If I fancy a fruity change then I'll run with them off. I have a proper Mercedes roof rack I'm going to spray the same colour too.    Also bought some 20mm Spacers for the rear as the rear wheels look a little lost in there! Really nice quality CNC milled parts  |

Couple from last night with the colour coded rack on. I'm not massively fussed about it. Best thing is take the rack off and hubcaps on and you wouldn't know any of the green was there.   |

Manuals are rare and can do nearly 100mph in 3rd gear! I've always had low w123s on whitewalls. Back in 96 I had a champagne gold 280E manual slammed to the floor(cut springs) on penta rims. Used to attract nearly as much attention as my w123 limo on hydraulics. A shame to see you're selling it as they go on forever. You will miss it & look for another sooner or later.
