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

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.

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..

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

http://erebuni.net/ge/mercew124.htm

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....

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.

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.

BTW, does anyone know if there is a Xeon Conversion kit of these 95 w124 benz's, i would love to get one.
