As far as I know many were scrapped back when these cars were newish. I'd say you're better off getting a custom made one

That looks absolutely stunning! Love the star mags on it!
As for cages your only real option as others have mentioned is a custom jobby me thinks!

Safety Devices used to do them, not sure if they do anymore!

Yeh safety devices still do them but they are not cheap. @ around £700 I believe. My front cage was £320.

I'm in agreement, Starmags are the sex, i had 10's on my Mini found at the local recycling plant for the pricely sum of ten whole English pounds.
Like the subtlety aswell, do you not have speed bumps where you live? I'm currently in the process of destroying my SS side exit as some places i need to go can't be accessed without going over the stupid things, doesn't matter how slow i go, it scrapes with a 2" drop

yes i have speed bumps the only way to take them is slow and at an angle i can't make it over the speed bump to get out of the petrol station at the top of my road so usually only drive and go places that are flat lol

Both of them look good together, sexy AMG Penta Merc style rims aswell.
So are there lots of drifters hiding in the shadows with nicely looked after and modded 300's rather than the sheds we usually get through these parts?

Thats the ones , lovely rims.
You say sheds but both of them look pretty neat and tidy and looked after, even though they both get used for drifting it looks like you've lavished a bit of time and love on them. Not just the usual chopped springs, black bonnet and obligatory stoved in rear quarter
Keep it up, get your mate and others to sign up if they arent already, be nice to have some new people and of course more 300's for us to perv over
