Welcome.
I inherited my dads one, but eventually sold it as I was not using it, and it was in South Africa.
Lovely cars.

Hi there, welcome.
There's a lot of love for a W123 on here. I think they are ace, I've had a saloon and coupe in the past. They always look better closer to the ground!

Welcome! Nice Mercedes, it looks really good! I bet the Jordanian climate has been kind to the chassis! Looks a nicely specced model too, black leather interior!

Are the laws on modifying cars strict in Jordan? Is there anywhere you can get springs custom-made? That way you have not cut the spring! ;D Or is there more complicated rules on ride-height?
I think the square tailpipes look good - subtle!

I think the square tailpipes look good - subtle! strict not really cut springs is not big problem , the rideheight is the mean problem and since it will be slammed they will noticed that and reject it when I register the car. I could lower it 1-2inch and it wont be problem but I want it slammed

New headlights look far cooler! And the chequered bonnet bit looks good, different Just buy a second set of standard springs, and cut yours to get it slammed (i cut 3 coils from my front springs, and 2 from the backs) Then when it comes to registering the car, swap the second set of standard springs in = stock height! It'll take a few hours work, but worth it imho! Good luck!
