Awesome to see there's some community around this model, I have a 2001 and it's entirely enjoyable, this turned out beautifully, you did a fantastic job
Thanks a lot. I love MB as a brand but especially appreciate older models like 124, 126, 210, 219, etc. At the moment I have R171 as my daily driver, a very fun car to drive
Very interesting to see the wrap process. The results are very nice without all of the spray booth work. The nice thing is you can do this at home with just patients and attention to detail.
This is crazy because i crashed my blue 01’ 430 the same way this car got hit i thought this was my old car and i crashed it a month before this upload only difference is i had black interior
What’s the height of the front lip ? Bc my CLK has lowering springs that’s why I don’t want it to be touching the ground 24/7 if it is like 40 mm in height Edit : I have 40 mm lowering springs on from H&R
How are these as a daily driver? Don't want to break the bank owning one. Where I live these still cost a pretty penny specially if you want a convertible or one with sunroof etc. Is it good value or should I just go with a CVIC X
This particular vehicle has been driven 40,000 miles since the video and has only had one issue: the starter replacement. Other than that, the car is being driven daily with no issues. The key is the initial condition of the vehicle. If it was beaten daily by the former owner, then there is a high possibility that the car will be problematic. Otherwise, W208s with 4.3 engines are known for their good reliability
@ikajeiOFFICIAL thanks that says allot! I am looking at a w208 1997, I believe it's a 240 hard top, no sunroof. 122k kms on the meter, well kept. Owner is asking a pretty penny. No experience with mercs so not sure what to check for
You know, I don’t wanna be this guy. Nowhere near having the accessibility that you have yet probably gonna be another 10 to 15 years before I restore my car. I hate when you guys do this to Beautiful Mercedes. It’s not a rice burner dude. And you may think that all of these modifications and these ground kits are doing justice, but really it’s putting stress on the car and it’s gonna fall apart because it wasn’t made to look like that.

@@ikajeiOFFICIAL I'm new to the euro scene but the older Mercedes do seem lovely to drive
This is incredible, anyone who takes the time to revive one of these and get them back on the road is a legend in my book
These cars are still beautiful even among modern cars.
Agree 100% 👍

Great job man, kudos from Ireland. Had a 2000 clk 200, loved it and it broke my heart! Will be getting another one though!

Crazy clean build, I might need to wrap mine
Thanks for the video! It will come in handy as I'm going from silver to a darker tone of gray. Keep it up!
Looks really good!
Such a nice car, I own the 230 kompressor version of this car and this video is perfect to imagine how I want it to look like in the future

I’m looking to get a front bumper for this car in Canada. Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can get one for a good price?
Снимайте по Чаше ролики 💪
What is the material you use to strap the side chair bolster under the lifting handles please great job by the way looks mint
3M leather repair strip
It just sticks on
@@phildrummond8571 Yup. It is a self-adhesive
I am also restoring my clk430. How much wrap in foot did you need ?
Around 70'
How much did it go for usd I'm flipping mine too and it's in similar condition
What’s the height of the front lip ?
Bc my CLK has lowering springs that’s why I don’t want it to be touching the ground 24/7 if it is like 40 mm in height
Edit : I have 40 mm lowering springs on from H&R
Hi, i have that bumper, and the springs waiting to be mounted but im afraid that i will touch it all day long...it s very low
@@Teo4.7.8 hmmm a bummer oh well maybe I need to change the height then
appreciate your reply 😊

Where did you find that front lip for the bumper?
Chech the link in the description under the video. I have links for lowering springs and front lip there
What bumper is that ? And how did you make it fit , looks like a 320 bumper .
That bumper looks alot more sport than the stock 430 they had on there
You are correct. It is a 320 bumper with an added front lip splitter. The original bumper that was on the car originally is 430 AMG package bumper
Thanks for answering , does it fit right on or did you have to modify it alot
Im thinking of installing one of those bumpers myself
@unkown1113 the 320 bumper is a direct fit. No modifications are needed
Nice thank you for the info
What color wrap is that ? And what kind is it ?
VViViD+ Gloss Slate Grey (Grigio Telesto)
U got down👍
18" or 19" Wheels?
How much wrap did you use?
Around 50ft
@@ikajeiOFFICIAL Okay thank you, looks great btw!!
@@TristinMcNeary You are welcome and thanks a lot!
Wow do that to mine please
This is my car with the red bumper exact same wtf 😂
Where you buy the shocks ?
Check the description under the video. The second link is for the springs

Talk about Clickbait how come the main picture looks like a Honda with a drop kit on it?
I respect the work 👍🏾. That color is ugly though
Don’t hold back buddy 🙂🙂
