Old school! Glad to see you're still around and doing your thing!! Nice work since back then. I got rid of my 210 but am picking one up again in the near future it's reassuring to see I'm not the only one crazy about these cars!!!
Thanks Nelson09! Would love to see how you would build another one. I love my 210...if something ever happened to it, I would get another one in a heartbeat.
Hahahaha, yes, in the facelift model is not possible to replace the lenses alone. But you can bought some depo´s and made some bi-xenon projector retrofit. they looks pretty cool and the light quality is beauty
Teaser pic of my next mod. Finally got Brabus front calipers to match the rears. These are used off of a 7.3 V12 O.o Need some touching up before going on. Will post more pics once installed.

test fit the front brakes today and it was a success. I still need to refinish the calipers but im excited to mount these up the caliper BARELY clears the barrel of the wheel by about 2mm. 370mm 2pc rotors and 6pot calipers.
Ready to go Before. After.
I'm not happy with how my paint turned out. I did them with high temp paint and it was quite thick. I plan to get them sprayed professionally in a couple months when I can down the car for a few days. Right now I still need it for a daily. Just passed 190k miles.
here's the Italian leather wrapped armrest. Believe it or not, that's what color my seats are supposed to be lol. I need new Leather on the seats too. More to come.
So after installing front and rear brabus calipers, I wanted to replace all the brake fluid. Even with bleeding, I was sure that some of the original 21 year old MB fluid was in there. Had a brake flush done by my buddy. He used his shops tools and did a bleed on all 8 nipples. All new DOT4 fluid installed.
Pedal feel is amazing now and the brakes bite so hard

Been a while so i thought i would update you guys. Been using her as a daily driver. Getting close to 200k miles now. Most recently, someone hit and ran my front bumper. They left a bit of rubber in combination with a cracked bumper trim. Luckily the rest of the car and the bumper are in good shape.
Here is a before pic. You can barely notice the trim is cracked, but it was an eye sore for me. Also, the cracked trim gave me an excuse to get the euro version...so that's what i ordered. I also hate the way the US plates look on the front of the w210. So i wanted to opt for the German plate with the same letters and digits as my Hawaii plate. Also, added bonus, i was going to integrate my parking sticker on the right side of the plate, so that's not so much of an eyesore as well.
Lets go. Replacing the trim requires removal of the bumper and any sensors/wires.
New trim installed. Love the way it looks.
Added bonus and best part of the euro trim is the sidemarker delete. My OEM sidemarkers were smoked with my body color so they weren't that noticeable, but having none really makes for a clean look IMO.
And After! Complete euro impact strip, corner light delete, german plate with dusseldorf registration/emissions stickers.
