I agree... that grill looks good!!! I hate the grills with the star in them on the 124's and 126's... but that one is nicely done... I think its the chrome strips that are more like the CLK's rather than just looking like our stock grills with a star stuck in them.

But yes, higher res pics please!?!?!?

Hi buddies, I got that grille off the german ebay. I also had the grille frame powder-coated black. Car is equipped with a Lorinser Bodykit, with modified AMG C36 side skirts. Rear wheel arches flared to accomodate 18" x 8" ET30 Brabus Monoblock II 245/40ZR18 tires.

The pics are actually of pretty good resolution but turned out crappy after I had them resized to conform to forum standards. How do I resize them w/o affecting the picture quality?

You actually like those rims? Im no fan... I like the hammers better.. But somehow on this car, the grill (which Ive never seen & liked on w124) and rims work. Go figure. I guess you really put alot of thought and effort into styling your car because the individual parts I dont like, but the overall look of the car is quite nice.

Also got it from a Brabus dealer who had it sitting in his display with no buyers. It's specific for a M103 engine. Came with Mechanical Lifters and supposed to yield about 15-20 bhp. I believe it runs on higher compression too!
