Yes a makeover seems to be urgently required. At least for the defective suspension an the cheap looking interior.
Cheers, Frank

Wow how did you get it to drop so much ??

I like some of the mods- the painted air cleaner and trunk look great . It's nice to see some custom benzes on here


I do agree The headrests need to be redone - the giant mb logos and the saggy upholstery creases all around them look bad .

Looks good but would definitely be too low in the area where I live. I have seven speed bumps to cross over from the time I enter my sub-division until I arrive at my driveway and I can see where that would be a major problem.

Nice looking car, but damn those headrests need to be redone! and the Mercedes sign on them would look nicer being smaller, but then again that's just my 2 cents! good looking car nonetheless
