Long story short, earlier this year I purchased an R230 from FB marketplace (never again). The car was cosmetically rough, but the rare combo of black opal metallic over a berry red interior was too cool to pass up.

After enjoying her all summer I decided to put in the TLC she deserved. The front bumper, hood, and front fenders were resprayed to address 20 years rock chips/peppering.

Next the car received a 4 day paint correction by LC Detail Garage in NJ. These guys are some of the most well versed in working on MB cars of this era.

And then to top it off, I replaced the replica “BBS LMs” the car came in with a custom set of Euroteck wheels inspired by the shape and design of Mercedes classic “8 hole” wheel. The wheels are 19” but look larger in the photos due to the angle.

Here is the final result, what do you think:

I am jealous! Great vision on your part. I have a silver Sl55, still looking for the right wheels.
