Talking about boundaries, last month we talked about the brave 168GTR to tear up his Nissan GTR R35’s Fenders to applied the Liberty Walk wide body kit. But now, it’s about a person who brave enough to put a custom job to get the best fitment into his car. This guy is one proof of ‘out of the box’ works. He’s Azka Yuqatamma, a fellow Mercedes Benz W210 Owner. Born in a European Motorhead family, he got a lot of European taste from his father a motorhead. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” was the result of a father influences to Azka. But an influences won’t make a person will go like their old man wants. There’s always be a rebellious act from a son to a father like their differences in taste. Just like Azka who’s a BMW fan and his Father, A Mercedes Benz Fanatic. But both of them still a car enthusiast. 
The story with this W210 began when Azka’s father told him to sold his BMW E46 which is a car he loved very much and changed it into W210 E260. It was a tough choice and after a long debate, finally Azka respect his father intentions and sold his beloved BMW. Azka still respect that his father is a person that still runs the family, and the kids should respect their father’s choice. But, the search of the pristine W210 was quite a long time, after look for many W210s on sale, finally he found this pristine condition W210 with Java Brown interiors. Suddenly Azka got interested with this car. While on the process of getting this car, there’s a funny situations while he need to pay up front in the morning just for not losing the car from another bidder. 
Applying modifications into a great car is one of a difficulties. Especially this E Class W210. A big bodied sedan from Mercedes-Benz that shows elegance and targeted for successful executives. That’s why at first, Azka found difficulties on what theme he must into. He believe that the Mercedes Benz W210 was made for executives who praise class and elegance but for an old mans charms, and he’s not that kind of person. He want to put some young charisma into this car. A lot of experiments he put into this car, like putting Deep dish Work Meisters, lowered the car, put Brabus add on all around his W210 Bumpers and side skirts. Even thou the result was quite amazing, he still feels that something is missing, and the search of identities still goes on.
The story begin again when suddenly he got an offers about a set of customized 3 piece constructions wheels from a fellow Euro car enthusiast and also a wheels collector, Eurovolution. The wheels was basically based on Carlsson 3/11 16 Inch one piece constructions. Then customized into a 3 piece constructions wheels with step lips. The result was outstanding. The specifications meets what Azka needs, a 19 inch Carlsson 3/11 3 Piece Constructions 9,5 and 10,5 wide.
When first he got the wheels, Azka personalized it with orange coats from Eurovolution. He want to make it twisted, and he succeed. It was quite awesome while we first see this Solid Black E Klasse with an elegant charm combined with bright orange coated alongside its gold coated rivets. But it’s the purpose of modifying cars, a mirror to the owner. But, then a groovy color can be bored sometimes. That’s why, Azka change the wheel’s colors into dark grey. This time, his purposes was just to make the car looks more elegant but still youthful. For the suspensions, he still running it on a static suspensions. But with this solid fitment, he didn’t have to ruin his fenders. As we see, the car still pristine and outstanding.
Using a customized wheels may be a tricky decisions. But it works! Just like the famous E38 with a deep dish 3 Piece Constructions customized OEM Wheels. When we asked why Azka want to use this wheels so bad, his answers was just because he wanted it to, and others opinions is not his concerns. He just feel pleased of what he did into his car, eventhou he’s still a BMW Fan. 
While build this car into a proper modifications, Azka admitted that he took a long time to get some feels to personalized this car. From first being abandoned, until a neck-breaking E-Klasse. It was quite hard while building cars that we don’t love. But, just like the others says, “time heals everything”. this car makes him met a lot of fellow car enthusiast, and he love the way it is. Azka is one of an example of a good taste, or a proper class. Kudos to him. 
Anyway, this Photoshoot won’t happens and turns great without the help of my good friend, Mr. Randy. Not just he’s one of Azka’s friend that introduced me to Azka, But he’s also my good High School friend that have a good will to help me shoot this car. Thanks Sob!
