Here's My Mercedes 300E

[MBDriver]

Hello Everyone,

Thought since I justed join this group, I should share my ride with all of you fellow members. It's a 1990 Mercedes Benz 300E.

I have a few goodies installed.

Lowered with Vogtland springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks.
Black Housing Euro Headlights
Smoked Clear Corners
Smoked Taillights
Black Grill
Audio System
and a few more little things here and there.

Let's just get to the pictures already!

Me and my buddies got bored this saturday so decided to drive around looking for good spots to take pictures. Sure enough, we found some decent spots. Here are the pictures. Don't mind my friend sitting in the first two picturs. I had him drive my car around looking for the perfect spot.

[SilviaEvo]

nice car and cool pics on the top of the building! it seems in great shape for a 14 year old car nice job!

[MBDriver]

Thanks guys! :) I try to keep the car looking good. 8)

oscargarza88, yeah I have interior pictures. Awhile ago I covered all the wood trim with silver metallic vinyl. I think it looks pretty good and shaved some years off to make it look more modern.

Here is the before pictures of the interior...

[blah]

Thats one bad ass looking car. 8)

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Cool car and great pics, but I would left the wood trim, looks more MB 8)

[adamwich]

Very nice car you have got!
The pictures from the top of the building looks great..

[saadie]

i see alot of those here ..... but they are all dead stock ...
the best thing abt this car is that it looks mean from the front .. and on the back .. its like .. kiss my ass .. lol :lol:
u've kept your car really nice .. keep up the good work .....
this is like a very good example for a man's love to his car :mrgreen:

[marcelobb82]

well hello again Mr Pham.. :lol:

[MBDriver]

SPEEDKILLAR, I was thinking about keeping the wood trim, but the good thing is...that I used Vinyl Decal Tape to cover the wood trim rather than painting them so I can easily remove it anytime. :)

Thanks for all the nice compliments. I think the parking structure I took pictures of my car will be my new photoshoot place!

Saadie, I'll have to agree with what you said about how mean the car looks in the front. My friends said the same thing awhile ago and they said when I drive behind them during the day and night my car looks like a monster. Especially at night. :twisted:

I have a couple goodies that I want to install by the end of summer. I'll keep you guys posted. Just a hit, complete banging audio system, wheels and maybe color match the lower panels and a AMG GenII body kit. Wish me luck!

well hello again Mr Pham.. :lol:

hello Dan!

Not a bad car to have at 18, for sure. I like the interior mod - its not very often you can improve something on a budget like that, but you did a good job there!

I had the pleasure of driving a 96 S320 for a month or so last year, very underpowered but like, well, a limo. Real magic carpet ride...

[oscargarza88]

hey nice touch with tht interior! i really like it, it doest take some years off the car! i would have done it, good idea.
btw how many miles does it have?
and keep tking care of it, it looks much better thatn all the ones i see in the road here!

[DeMoN]

Lookin fine looking fine. You seem to have kept it garaged. Did you repaint it or that is stock paint?

[MBDriver]

Yeah, the total pricing to change up the interior and add the silver vinyl was 10 dollars! In my opinion, that was the best 10 bucks I've ever spent. lol

Currently the car has about 115,000 miles. Very low for a car being 15 yearsold.

TransAm2001, my family use to have a 300SE, it very much was like a limo! shatter proof windows, limo tint all around when we had it, but we removed it. Secret compartments. That car was awesome!

DeMoN, yup you're correct. The car is always garaged. It's funny because my sister has a brand new IS300 and I made her park outside. :lol:

Still have the stock paint. All you have to do is take car of it and it'll look new like day one.

[MBDriver]

Bump. :)

I got a new set of wheels. If anyone doesnt know....they are AMG AERO I HAMMER wheels. Which may I add...very rare to find these days. Took me a good 5 months but was well worth it. check out the pictures!

[blah]

Nice. Ill see you at the meet rolling on AMGs?

[MBDriver]

Sadly, you won't be seeing me at the meet this weekend with the wheels installed. I'll have them in my trunk though to showcase. :)

Reasons being are that I have to do a lot of major prep to make them fit right and don't rub.

The size is 17 x 8 with ET28 offset...which is really agressive. I'll have to roll the fenders, install AMG Fender spacers, purchase tires. On top of that, I'm getting the lips repolished, the faces repainted and the curb rashes and bent lips removed. All worth it though! :D

[ferrarif1fan89]

hey, do you plan on doing anything performance-wise?

[MBDriver]

there isn't much performance add-ons available for the W124's unless...I wanna get a engine conversion. lol C32 or E55 engine in my car. that would be insane.

but in reality, I'm just going to rebuild the whole engine and get a tune up. Should work like new afterwards.

[SilviaEvo]

is that itsthepham?!!?

[Yablokov]

wow m8, awesome car! i may be joining you with a merc by the end of this summer:D

[MBDriver]

That's awesome. What model Mercedes will you be getting?
