1978 Mercedes-Benz 280CE

Nice looking car. How about a bit of history? How long you had it, what have you done with it, things like that. It looks like it`s had a bit of a drop.
Not so keen on the gear knob but like the steering wheel and the seat covers ;D

8-)Cool motah

I think the arch trims suit the car - go with the rest of the chrome. Not so keen on the gear nob - mainly coz its not chrome like the rest of the interior trim. Only things i'd do to it would be maybe fit clear front indicators and tint the orange parts of the rear lights red, but apart from that it looks very nice. Oh, and perhaps spacers to bring the wheels out of the arches a little

Welcome along, the car looks ace, I wouldn't change anything, just cruise!

Hehe sorry guys about the really brief intro, was in a hurry to post up before i got kicked off.

I live in Australia.

PhoenixC: I bought the car early 2005, before i turned 18, The history of the car has been alright, has had one ding from one of the previous owners, and somebody reversed into it while i was owning it, early this year, which was all fixed up on their insurance.

Pretty much everything i listed has been done, as soon as i got it i replaced the entire exhaust with a better twin system and a loud Genie Turbo Muffler.
Everything with the sound system has been replaced, Head unit, speakers all around, and added amplifier and sub, as you can see.
Steering wheel is a recent one, got it not long before i lowered it a couple of weeks ago.
The polished rims have been with us for ages, they were originally on my Stepdads SLC, and now onto my car, and that added little look, fluffy dice

vrskodanorman: Lose the arch trims?!? Looks too good to lose, every Merc my family has had either had chrome arch trims or we put it on.

VWDan: Yeah i've been wanting to get teh clear indicators actually, but i'm not to keen on tinting the rear orange lens' red, they would look better clear like the front. Never thought of getting spacers for the rears, thats a good idea, will keep that in mind, thanks ;D I was just thinking of getting some fatter tyres, maybe 225s...

Thanks for the comments guys

I think that rust is one of the last things he'll worry about over there!

Looks sweet. Just needs wires and Hydro's
