Sorry about the delay. Been busy with work, starting a business, and maintaining/restoring 2 Mercedes.

Will get another shoot done once I replace the glass and re-tint the car (and hopefully get the front bumper valence).

Very nice car and pics. I like the one with the bird view and the wiper in the middle of the windshield.

Yeah. I made a brief post after the rebuild the other year. Now I'm back to doing regular maintenance and slowly restoring the rest of the car. The goal is to get it back to OEM+ status (need to find 18" monos, some trim pieces, etc).

I said "OEM+"

18s would fall under the +. They looked better than 17s on this car anyway.

Nice pixs. Pity you lost the teeth brace in the front... That's an expensive part to buy if you can find it

Hey what are the width and offset of those rims?

I have a spare tooth brace lying around has a few small cracks, can you still get these new?

17x8 ET35 front
18x8.5 ET25 rear

Not sure if the lower valence is still available. I'm trying to find out.

so i do not have much knowledge about wheels, but would the different wheel size affect abs/esp? are your tires low pro in the rear to even out the ratio with front tires?

on first blush (as a non-expert), i feel like the smaller front wheel might improve ride/handling with the taller sidewall. whats the general consensus on this idea?

As long as you keep the rolling diameter the same, it's ok. Yes, went 35 sidewall on rear (45 on front).

ha ha ha!
is this a joke?
didn't you already replace your bumper after you bought your car many years ago?
now the new one fell off, is this correct?

how the hell can a bumper fall off?
didn't you bolt it correctly?

I'm assuming he's referring to the small center section that attaches to the bumper. Not the entire thing. Lol.
