Where did you get your headlights? Those are sweet looking. How much were they? Do you have the chrome rings around them or is that how they come?

well in lebanon the deal is bmws / mercs 1995+ models u find many beautifully modded cars esp the e46/w210s but the problem is u find most of them have a tiny engine... and off course u have the usual idiot with neons, strobes a crappy sound system with 16" spinners (yes the do exist in lebanon)

well most modded cars in Bahrain are mainly japs and yes the styles are the definition of RICE

anyways i'm on the lookot for a nice MB Coupe (maybe a W208 with a decent engine or a R129 SL500) so i'm toning down on the 210 a bit

BTW I've been around the UAE plenty of times so I can find my way in terms of parts

ur right but on very high speeds, and on stock shocks this should never be done, my car is a daily driver/ cruise-er with occasional street racing ( around every other Saturday) but the drive is very harsh esp on ****ty roads ... some say the shocks some say the pads.... in the winter i am thinking of putting the stocks back on ...
