UPDATE #8

So most of you will probably hate me for this but I decided to pull the trigger on flaring the car to run wide tires. I actually like how the look personal I cut them to meet the body line they're also rocked forward a bit purposely to line the the rivets on the body and so that it tucks back in towards the rear.
Theyre not perfect but they will work for now. might end up doing metal flares welded on when I have the car painted.

did you just cut your front fenders?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh My God!
you've got *****!

AMG__Dom

Yeah! I wasnt too worried about front since theyre easy enough to replace, rears are getting done tonight I'm more worried about them... but its for a good cause going to be running some very meaty tires

KJI3jflarryfe93

i hope you know what ya doin to your car when you custom tweak it?

front fenders are not rolled from MB if you have to buy replacements.
if you need new fenders you will get stock w202 fenders.
w202 AMG cars had custom tweaked fenders from factory, these are not sold anymore.

AMG__Dom

Yeah I know that, if anything would just get some stock 202 fenders from the junkyard and roll them with a real fender roller if need be. I put a lot of time thinking about doing this before I pulled the trigger haha

No difference between OE 202 fender and the AMG apart from the rolled lip which is easy to do if you have the correct tool. It seems that a baseball bat does the thing perfectly.

Update #9
Hey everyone haven't updated in quite some time, lots has changed as well as a few new projects!
Helping two friends complete E55 Swaps into W210 E320 Wagons entire E55's were bought for parts cars and its coming along quite nicely they should have them both done in the next month or two will have to share pics in another post.

I finished up the fender flares, have yet to space out the rears to fill the flares or mount the 295's but that should all happen in the next week or two, Cleaned up the engine a bay a bit and painted the intake box ( I have two now so just playing with this one)

Anyways on to the pics

Update #10

One more update for you guys, I picked up a new project / daily from a good friend I met through the car community. 145K miles clean title and a whopping price tag of $200 USD

There are a few small issues rear suspension has DIY aftermarket short camber arms , toe arms and push arms that make the rear end feel like its swaying nothing some stock arms cant fix, waiting to hit the junk yard this weekend for everything. Also the front drivers side wheel got pushed back an inch or two previous owner hit a curb on that side replaced all arms and suspension components but the frame will need to be pulled a touch, all in all for $200 cant beat it. Picking up some Brabus VI reps for it tomorrow and should have suspension / frame work fixed up over the weekend







All Washed up

That's great MaaaaaaaaN..,,

W124 is one of a REAL heart of MB touch...

,,ZAYED,,

DRBC43AMG

I had a W124 before my w202s. After a long rusty love affair, it started a new life in Africa

Sulaco

Nice! I'm almost ready to get a w124 wagon while I start upgrading my C55.

What have you done to your exhaust?

JohnnyRock

Dig it! Where did you score the fender flares from?

MarcusF

SoCal, who's doing the paint work, and where are they getting their supplies?

Update #11
Not too much new going on right now but I finally got my custom plates i've been waiting for! and my buddy's finished 55 swapping their 210 wagons

AMG__Dom

Awesome! I've removed secondary cats, resonator and the muffler going to be adding an X Pipe and race muffler soon to get a little back pressure

Thanks! They're actually ZG flares for an old datsun picked them up from a guy who makes them locally

Its all vinyl wrap me and my friends did at the garage

cm60k

Amazing Maaaaaaan..,, love the lowering as well..

,,ZAYED,,

PJmak

Hey Dom any tips on doing the wrap??

I am considering doing one my self.

KJI3jflarryfe93

what size are your Brabus rims.
they look very wide infront
are they 18" 9.5 all 4 of them?

AMG__Dom

Thanks man! Drive low, park lower

definitely use a heat gun, and the correct squeegees to not scratch the vinyl, other than that just a lot of patience and probably a helping hand or two would be a great idea, DM if you want more specifics/ where to get the supplies

Theyre 18x9.5 up front 18x10.5 rear, +25 et all around fronts are spaced out 30mm so -5 offset up front. Waiting to do the same to the rears but need to run a full flare in the back for clearance. Eventually will remove the spacers and relip them larger but not for awhile. Planning on putting my 10.5's up front and relipping the fronts to 11.5 for the rear

KJI3jflarryfe93

9.5 in front with wide lips is FAT!

9.5 front wheels do they touch anything on full steering wheel lock?

did front wheels poke outside the upper part of the factory fenders before you bolted the wider arches?

did you get lots of stone chips around the factory front fenders from 9.5 wheels?

I love the blue, looks great! I understand showing the rivets in the flares is a look some people are going for (i.e. liberty walk) but IMO the fender flares would look better if you bondo'd the rivets. It would look like it came from the factory.

P.S. LOVE THE LICENSE PLATE

Agreeeeeee..

Take your time, 2 people is almost necessary imo (especially for first time), buy more than you need in case of error, use heat, but use it sparingly at first until you figure out how it works (too much heat and it will shrink, tear, or get too malleable), if your outside don't do it in direct sunlight, if your inside do it in proper temperature because it can be too hot or too cold and it makes it difficult,buy good wrap (3m or avery is best) that does make a difference, finally.. prep, prep, prep!

It isn't too difficult, just veryyy time consuming. I did it panel by panel over 2-3 weeks after work or school and did a ton of prep work to make it easier and make sure it lasts.
