[Pillarless Coupe]

I originally bought a set of GMP's Billet Specialties wheels for my DC Buick GN, hoping they would make the car look less cartoonish. I knew the Buick was larger than 1:18, but it turned out to be larger than I expected. Since that swap was out, I started looking through my collection to find a car in need new shoes. The Kyosho MB E-class turned out to be the perfect candidate. So with some cutting, drilling and sanding, here's the result. I know the design is not what you would expect to find on a MB, but that's what I like the most about the swap. :feedback

Lloyd, who makes this particular model?

The wheels really do not look bad on it, without you mentioning it, I would have not guessed it was a set of billets.

hmm...maybe with a bit of lowering that wld look even MORE superb.
how about a blacked out grille and tinted windows..hahaah

Wow! Those wheels actually look very cool on the E-Class SW! You've really turned that family car into a mean-looking machine!

Man! You PS guys are good! Actually I do want to tint and lower the car. Without the springs I thought it sat too low, and I didn't feel like trying to cut them. I'm not certain how to do the tint. My last experiment with a plastic kit using auto tint didn't work too well.

As for the black wheels and grill, you've put something on my mind...

Darrick, the model is made by Kyosho.

Definately not what you would see on any Mercedes , but you did a good job and they look fine .

Personally I wouldnt go painting them Black . Bling is best :giggle
