I've got a 91 300E that has rusting front fenders, need to replace them. Would the fenders from an 86-90 W124 work with my car? The 86-90 cars have different door trim than the 91-95........

Regardless of trim level, front fenders be it sedan or coupe are interchangeable.
Only variants, but still interchangeable front fenders are the right side vented diesel and the 500E flared wheel well fender.

No, RBYCC the 500E500 fenders will require the front bumper as well. The non 500 front will be ridiculously misaligned.

Totally agree...didn't get that far as he was only asking about the front fenders and was trying to inform him of the available variants

Doubtful he'll find the 500E's in a wrecking yard !!!!

Just trying to point out that with the exception of the coupe most body panels are interchangeable....

Same thing with a post face lift hood...it will fit a pre face lift car, but you need to change out the grille and lights...

This is one of the great things about the W124 design.....

Thanks to all, looks like I'll be buying a pair of fenders from an 87 for my 91. Just need to figure out how to take off the side cladding. Any pointers?

i want to say the cladding can be pulled off if you start in the top corner... i'm not 100% sure though, so i'll let someone else jump in before you break your car
