E500 Conversion
Hey everyone i am knew to the forum. I have a 1994 E320 Sedan with 44K miles. I recently bought it off of an older woman who never drove it. I love the car and have been enjoying it ever since. I was just curious if anyone has gotten the E500 front fenders, front bumper, and the rear bumper ever put on? I would like to have the look of the E500. I was also wondering if anyone knew of any great body shops that would do the work in Massachusetts? Thanks.

You might as well sell it and just buy an E500 if that the case, or go with a different body kit if you want your car to look better. Front bumper/fenders etc = expensive. Is there even a difference between the bumpers though? I thought it was just the fenders...

You are better off buying a 500 or getting a different style body kit like Wald, AMG, Carlsson, etc. My mom got her 95 e320 with 24,000mi on it, and with cars in this good of original shape, it is almost a shame to repaint and rebody them when there are so many w124's out there that are cheaper and in need of such work.

It's not worth it. Trust me...
You're better off selling your car now and put more money towards an actual 500E. Also, It's not as simply putting the fenders, molding the rear flared quarter panels and bumpers too. There's a lot more too it that most people don't know.

500E Signal Rot
The front fenders, rear quarters and both front/rear bumpers and lower body cladding, are all unique to the 500e.
If I were you, I would pick up a gen 2 or Wald body kit.

Other than that, just buy a 500E.
