Hey everyone, the names Steven, im 19 and live in Australia
I've always been into the VIP scene hence why i joined.
My car is a 1978 Mercedes Benz 280CE (my first car)
Here are some pics, tell me what you think, has it got VIP potential? (despite being a coupe) I was thinking of going Pro Street style (for my shape car, it looks tough as nails)

I haven't done much to the car exterior wise except slap on a set of polished stockies, and blacked out grill, and the exhaust, which has been replaced all the way through to the engine. The car has also had a complete sound system overhaul.
Hopefully this weekend i will be lowering the car, its gonna be dumped on its ass

welcome steven, so many members r from melbourne here :P..anyway i presume it would be pain in da ass to look for a W123 bodykit nowdays.
i'm not even sure they still make 'em..anyway there's always custom ;)
plannin on changin 'em wheels?u better know ure maximum specs(offsets n etc) of the wheels for ure ride.

n also, it still look well maintained and clean from the pics :)
i gotta say it must took u a crazy detailing n maintenance job u got there for a car manufactured in the late 70s

Yeah i live in melbourne too ;D
Theres kits for the car, just extremely rare, i might get custom later down the track, not too sure where im heading with it yet.
The wheels will stay on for a fair while as i am studying at Tafe and can't really afford new wheels plus a lot of other expenses, but the polished alloys always look good.

Well one of the 2 jobs im employed at is a carwash, i wash the car every week, and polish the rims about every 2 weeks, polishing the whole car doesn't get done too often though, whenever i have enough spare time really.

Hey, another OZ boy,

Welcome, you gotta love old skool, I agree the car looks great for its age, maybe some nice dish rims and lower it a little and you would be sweet. If you have any questions just ask the peeps in here, there is lots of help. remember to check out OZ VIP in the regional areas, http://vipstylecars.com/forum/index.php?board=29.0
