Wheels now replaced for the third time :). Now fitted with a set of 8Jx16 Lorinser RS-90 rims previously fitted to KLP92's T202 which have been freshly refurbished by Spit & Polish in Tonbridge Kent. Have also fitted a genuine Lorinser rear spoiler from david_h's W202.

Some more pictures taken this evening. Just got the car back from Steve the Mechanic where he has fitted my latest additions.

latest1.jpg


Now with lowered suspension using Spax springs and lowered 40mm. Have kept the standard shocks and my comfortable ride quality has not changed at all. Also added a chrome boot handle (thanks GRAV888) and Lorinser badging. Also seen is the Lorinser rear spoiler (thanks to david_h)

latest4.jpg


Have added a SportService Lorinser chrome badge which has replaced my Elegance badge. With my genuine Lorinser RS-90 wheels and rear spoiler I think it deserves to wear the badge :)

latest5.jpg


Replaced the Elegance B pillar trims with carbon ones (thanks again R2D2)

latest6.jpg


Steering wheel replaced for a black leather one with chrome star on airbag (thanks Pluggers)

latest7.jpg


Wood insert for the gearshift which matches the wood trim perfectly

latest8.jpg


Rear blind fitted (another ex-R2D2 item :bannana: )

latest9.jpg


Finally fitted the illuminated sills. Looks fantastic in the night.
 
A few more pics taken today in the glorious sunshine whilst my little girl was asleep in the back. Have booked in for my Remus backbox to be fitted next Saturday at Elite in Rainham, Essex. Twin square pipes :)

This is my 3rd number plate change on the W202 in the last 2 months! I keep getting offers that I can't refuse on my cherished plates. Don't plan to sell this one so its here to stay (unless I sell the car) :D
