The ends of the spoiler might conflict with the CE trunk considering the fact that the CE's have a very flat trunk.

Therefore I do not think it will fit. Also, the auction mentions no fitment for the CE model

Yeah, its weird how different the CE trunk is at times. I always thought it was identical, but Im not sure. Id have to measure a CE and a sedan side-by-side to verify.

It's not identical. the CE trunk is FLAT. The sedan trunks are straight and curve at the ends.

brett, if u are in the same situation as me...its a pipe dream for both of us
im assuming that you as a college student are in the same situation as me, as well as geographic area where 300ce's are uncommon and the people who drive w124s arent really into their cars. tell me if im wrong and ill take back everything

I think spoilers and fins ruin the 124's flow, i think fins look lame in general unless they are molded onto the car's end or over the rear window like brabus' cls kit

heh, sorry man...just telling it like it is. im delivering pizzas now for money, just over winter break. it make me feel bad when i have to drive the benz that hard. plus i think my suspension might be shot. is there anyway to tell if its had just about enough? the car didnt isnt lower than stock, but its easy to push the car a lot lower and from inside it feels like im driving an suv now, as well as hitting bumps i heard a loud groan from all four wheels(i first thought it was the bounce of leaving my trunk open, it wasnt) help is appreciated as usual

I dont have a job, and am not allowed to get one yet because of my academic standing. :C I like the look of the OE spoiler on the 300ce/300e, I think it adds features to an otherwise HUGE and FLAT trunk. I plan to go all out and kit the 300ce with either the WALD kit, the AMG kit, or the Demec w124 kit.

hey Chris...thanks for posting the Fifth Gear safety test clips (one thru four) on YouTube. They were great, and definitely confirmed for me the build quality of the W124! I think I am soundly convinced that it must be one of the best designed chassis of all time, and a better purchase as a used car than MOST new or newer cars, regardless the make.

Anyway, thanks again.

dang. Id be down for a roadtrip if you sent me the money for the gas to get there.

Anyways..


I looked through about 30 pages and never DID find the wiring diagram for converting OEM 4-pin to 6-pin euro headlights.

Anyone got that?

Matt: Let me know if you need anything when you get here - I am a busy MF Saturday but I can get away for a while if you need some help. If you have to fly in I can pick you up.
