never seen a benz with the rusted hood,seen bmws and that other small car. not bad i guess

nelson09

Isaw your w210 on the oter forum, but I'll give you props here. I love the stance, fitment is spot on and I like the direction you took with your w210...the custom work too with the 00+ bumper conversion. You touched on all the fine details that really make a huge impact. Nice work

BADwayz

Thanks bro. The car is still a work in progress as I feel its missing something. Going to start on rusting the trunk today, and the wheels aren't right yet, so I will play with some ideas there too. I just took the car on an out of state road trip and it handled great, got plenty of looks too, ha.

nelson09

For sure, never ending story over here too...maybe rust out an aluminum post shift knob, but shoot it with clear so it's smooth to the touch
...or maybe instead of rusting out the trunk get one of those chrome trunk trim pieces and rust that out or maybe just a licence plate frame just throwing some ideas your way, keep up the good work.

BADwayz

I appreciate the brainstorming, and I will have to steal one of those ideas Ill update with some results this week.

Red66GT

So, you are rusting it out on purpose? This is the first "rat rod" Mercedes I've seen. Why not use a coke can for an exhaust tip while you're at it?

I do like the way your car sits. Perfect height.

nelson09

HaHa, for sure man, I was just brain storming off your concept, it's not stealing if I gave you my .02... I'll be patiently waiting on the results like a smoker with a swet tooth. Good luck on the progress. By the way, have you checked out socal euro dot com, I think there may be a few Bimmer guys who tricked out thier rides EuroTrash style, it'd be good to share some MB EuroTrash flavor with the community over there.

BADwayz

Im using Schlitz beer can valve stem caps....

And yes, I am rusting my previously completely rust free car on purpose. I totaled the car last year, no insurance, and re-built it myself. But It will never be back to normal, and isnt worth much now, so I decided if Im gonna keep it til it dies, I may as well have some fun with it. I wouldn't have done this to a clean car.



I will check that site out. You should check out Stanceworks.com yourself. We have a few stanced MB's there, but need more, and yours is awesome.

nelson09

Cool, will do...thanks for the compliment, much like yours, it's a work in progress. I need spacers before I go posting pics of my ride at a site called stanceworks, lol, but I'll check it out for sure I;m allways down for some eye candy.

Red66GT

Freakin awesome! Where did you get the valve stem caps?

BADwayz

A guy with much more patience than I custom made them for me.

Red66GT

Hope you didnt pay more than $6 for em! There's a guy sellin em on ebay....he has other brands of beer too!

nelson09

@BADwayz - good lookin out on the site man, I love it. I assume you've checked out hellalush, fatlace and ViPstyle cars dot com too. I should have dialed in my stance before all these other mods here and there, I'm gonna see what spacers will do for me, if that dosen't satify me I'm gonna have to take a more serious look into some stretched rubber and probablly a different set of spacers..I'm somewhat limited as my wheels are 19x8.5 all around. Right now I'm running 235/35/19.

BADwayz

I think I paid about $8 shipped, might even be the same guy, I didnt find him on eBay though.
Do you have any pics of how it sits now? Whats the offset of your wheels and what spacers are you running now?

nelson09

35 offset on all four corners, no spacers right now...I saw there was a stetch calculator over there, pretty cool, I couldn't fool with it for long as I'm at work and when work comes in I gotta put down the forums lol, I havn't figured out how to post pics so if these don't show up you can see pretty current pics of my ride @ ViPstylecars dot com, or google that plus "mission bodykit comlete E320"

...only real difference between those pics and my ride now is the grill is a gloss black now, dings have been pulled and my plate reads LOEKLAS
My goal is a stance close to yours, I'm thinking some spacers on the rears first, probablly some smaller ones up front next, this weekend I'm getting my #1 spring pads installed on the rears.
-sorry for the JUMBO sized pics, cut n' paste is the only way for me to get the pics here for now.

BADwayz

Your car is on deck man, looks great! Love those wheels too. A little more flush in the rear would definitaly look better though, looks like you have some space to push them wheels out another inch?

nelson09

thanks man, an inch is exactly what I'm thinking - especially because I didn't go with the staggered set up, an inch would makes sense to me too, before we get into all the fender roll, pull and shave talk. But back to the topic - DAAAMN, I never seen a w210 fitted so proper and eurotrashed out. Nice work again man. I like the old skool ///AMG too.

my car is stock height as it is impossible to find springs or anything to lower my car....should i but the rims? can anyone photoshop the rims to a black e320?

nelson09

stretched tires and a drop it should be fine - you will deffinately need to lower it. You have good taste in wheels!!!
