Took a long time, but well worth the wait.











Twin turbo will be installed this winter....

I'm very picky with how cars are modded, but that looks just amazing. Great job!

I like the RH drive mirror, I want one for my car, too. I can't stand the big bulky passenger side mirror.

Needs an AMG rear bumper and sideskirts to finish the look, other than that it looks great!

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I disagree with the AMG rear bumper however. If you were to add anything, I would say a wald ex over the school girl rear skirt any day.

Again though, absolutely amazing.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! The car does actually looks better in person than the pictures - the contours of the arches & how they morph into the custom cladding is amazing.

The wheels are 18" Carlsson 2/6's - which were made by OZ, so you are right...

AMG side skirts & rear bumper would have been an easy option, but I've never really liked the look of either. The custon fabrication that Mike at Motorwerks did to the original parts to make them flow with the widened front & rear fenders is much more understated, but in my opinion, much more effective. Most people don't even realize that they have been heavily modified.....

thanks again all - I have more pictures if you are interested.

I guess I'd have to see it in person, it does look hot though!

You should enlist in one of the FANTASTIC pro photographers on here or benzworld that would LOVE your car as a subject. The pics above can't possibly do it justice in terms of time and money and expertise!

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!



You just trumped all other C124s in my book! And the TT install will set you that much farther ahead!

Very nice - been waiting anxiously throughout this time to see the finish product!

I would personally slam that car on some HRE comps.

By far, the nicest one on here!

Very clean, subtle, and sleek!
I haven't seen any photos of a better looking car.

Are you in LA? Have Zorro take some shots for you.

Mark, I volunteered you.
