Funny how you mentioned that. I was planning to or planning to reorder another set of smoked Euros from Germany Ebay but my friend let me in on a 500E E-Code Hella headlight group buy so I'm going to get those instead. It's gonna be awhile for it to go through but it's pretty much going to be worth it.

They are going for $600+ dollars. E-code corner lights are a little bit extra.

Ummm ... So I want to get rid of my Chrome Monoblocks. Good condition. Anyone interested?

Yup, Glad to be back in this W124 game of ours.

Give me a offer for the wheels and I'll consider it. I'm looking to get rid of these quick since I might be ordering new wheels soon.

and ... what front bumper???

hey chris, you need to investigate the differential mod for the e420. I believe you can put in a mid 90's S 420 rear gears into your differential which would make it a 2.82 instead of the 2.2 somthing that is in there now.

It will make the car quicker off the line.

The guy that wrote most of this is an mb tech and has done extensive research into it. He has some great articles.

I've been looking into the differential swap and I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. I'm already speeding a lot with how the car is now. I don't even want to see how many times I'll be speeding off the line when the light turns green. I will do it someday though!

As for the other mods, his car really looks good with the Eibach/Bilstein combination as well as the 18's. When I take my car in, Hopefully the Vogtlands will work or parting with them they go.

Already looking into getting a set of 500E front and rear sway bars for the car.

Thanks for posting the link. I have his website in my favorites but totally forgot about it. His write ups are very helpful.

White is my ultimate favorite color in cars but I always wanted a black car in the W124. Something about black makes it look so nice especially modded.

I still love my old white one though ...

Hi Chris,

The Hammer's wheels are nice but some how with the black car the AMG chrome wheels stand out a lot more!
