NICE NICE very beautiful this is what a mercedes is suppose to look like.. hmm maybe clear corners and tints will finish the job... but no engine mods just keep it clean and make it look a lil different from the crowd. i love your benz

Wow I can't believe how well the condition of your benz is, interior and exterior. You should take a look at my 83 240D, I think the leather interior is basically the same.
