My First Unveil

I have seen many beautiful cars on this forum that have inspired me time and time again. Thank you to all of those who post and continue to share the vast wealth of knowledge that allow us to keep our W208's the in a class all of their own.

Included are a few pictures before and after my 430 got her first pair of shoes.

Thanks for viewing.

Thanks man. Wheels are two piece so besides spacers and fender rolling to give it that flush look i am always on the look out for new "iForged" barrels with lower offsets.

All I can say is sexy car man. For some reason I think silver was the best color for the w208's and w210's. No other color compares

Brabus Springs paired with Bilstein Shocks. These pictures were taken right after the install. The car has settled nicely since. Will post pictures of the difference as soon as I take some.
