Do none of youall remember that the Mona Lisa changed the whole time Mr DaVinci was alive? The Acoropolis wasn't always a ruin, and Pisa's tower didn't always lean.
Many of the world's irreplacable objects have been reshaped and remade to suit certain contemporary tastes! The Flemish painting of St. Eloy is but a singular example. At one time, a golden halo was added, but modern historians have removed it because it was not original to the work-- This says volumes about this small 300D. That it lived long enough to be reborn is a testament to the company responsible for its creation! We should be happy that the car was given new life-- It was obviously battered and beaten prior to this restoration, and even if it is wearing the automotive equivalent of a liesure suit and golden zodiac medallion, it should be commended for having come so far as it has. Please just don't let me live my twilight years so ridiculously dressed--

I just had one of the best laughs since i subscribed to this forum...
You guys are great.... Adding the Guadalupe, the fuzzy (fussy! ) dices, and the 22"rims with spinners (gilded as well) would make it sparkly-ghetto-fabulous. Something you don't want. However, the Dollar Green paint job, Gilded Trim, White interior and wood stering wheels still keep the natural humble majesty of the original design... I have seen worse factory color combinations particularly in europe (orange paint/ avocado green MBtex). Just a matter of taste... On the subject of the air-suspension... that can actually be a plus if the installation was correctly made (yeah i know i am optimistic)... This can add a plus in the drivability if the car can be lowered and suspenssion stiffened at speed. Or elevate the car to clear that bump in the road...

Do you think if someone were to drive that abomination through the ghetto, people would respect him for the nice Benzo or laugh at him, throw his *** out of the car and then steal the wheels & the gold trim?
I can see the future owner sending a video to MTV: "Xzibit - please UNpimp my ride...."

I'm in the bowels crowd myself, but that's 'cause I hate gold trim. Now if you want to go all out like this and plate the whole damn car then I'll bow before the boundless waste of money. (sorry, couldn't find a GW300 gold plated on-line...)

I think that gold plating was a factory option.

I'll buy it
The "inner self" in me is telling me to buy it. Looks like somebody did a good job with the interior. The first thing I'll do if I am the winner of the bidding is put oem wheels back on it. I'd be interested in taking a close look at the suspension.
