I like the wheels! Never liked the wald kits though...too ricey IMO, and don't preserve the proper lines of the W124.

Good job on originality though

duuude.....whats with the us license plate over the euro?? because i plan to do the same thing but just put the us license plate on the dash or something, because "by law" its required to have 2 plates on the car etc....or whatever. but still! lol take one of them off IMO =/

Cool car.....looks in great shape too. Never saw an airbag like yours either. Neat.

CaliE320

If you look close on the Wald kit there's a large molded spot just for Euro plates. If U just put a standard US plate there it would look ridculous, it'd be too small. I take off the US plates at shows, so it's all good.

You're from So Cal U should know better then to ask me why I did it like that.Yeah it's the law to have two license plates, & it's also the law not for cops beat somebody's A$$, but U go try telling that to Rodney King. Go ahead and put your license plate on your dash and see how many times U get pulled over & hassled.. My car is low enough and draws enough attention from the Po Po's , don't need to add another reason for them to get me.

* As for the airbag it came with the Brabus Sport steering wheel I have, not OEM.

Hi CaliE320 !
Please tell me where you get side body panels?
Looks nice I like to get.

Regards.

CaliE320

You can get from different places, MB dismantlers, MB dealer, Ebay.

You are missing the question. He meant the panels with the fake vents behind the front wheels

CaliE320

SL gills are really rare, you have to look and ask around. I got lucky another member sold them to me. From what I remembr I think Autorice used to sell them. You can try with him..

DID YOU INSTALL THE PEDALS ON THE RUBBERS? ....AND WHY?

CaliE320

They feel better, more ergonomic. The metal on metal felt weird.

Don't knock it till U try it

looking at your bonnet looks as this car has been in acident and has not been repaired propely, i know coz same think with mine 230E, bonnet is poped up a bit.

And by the way i am back to this forum

I think it was because Ben updated this hood. Maybe?

ashman

You can get those vents from erebuni.net it is the sl style bodykit they sell you can see those same side vent type pices.

ash based on that site u gotta buy the whole banana.

i checked with my mechanic and measure a few different sl's and s' classes. the s is 18" at the top of that peice. the sl is 17.5 inches and the ce is 14 inches. so the ones you have MUST be an aftermarket item.

i have yet to see anyone who sells that part separately. i would love a set since i am repainting my car.


hey chris btw i found those wiper cover ups. they were 10 bux each....

ashman

there is a shop in burbank, right across the street from costco, I forgett he name,

I would see if they can order you those side panels seperately from erebuni.

AshMan

CDP

Eric, good job. Just the right price to get them for. Some places charge 15, full price is 20 at the stealership. where did you get them by the way?

E320BENZ

NICE RIMS... the center caps should be dark also.

AMG_Eric

i got them at cost from my buddies shop in pasadena. :P

ashman

I got my wiper delete panels for $8.00 each... They vary from place to place...

AshMan

X03

do you think you can tell me where in pasadena so i can just get some too?

CDP

I get them at wholesale, so whatever that means.

AMG_Eric

same here. wholesale = cost.

the place is import auto works on foothill and san gabriel blvd. www.importaw.com

tell them eric sent you.

Nice car Cali, think i have seen you on the road before. Those side fender vents looks nice btw. Been thinking of making some custom ones for mine, didn't think they would look good tho. Check out my ride, these are old pics, will put some new ones once the car is ready, been making some changes to it.
