Hi MB enthusiasts!

I have just purchased a `87 300E. The car is great, has almost all the extras available. Just bought her some AMG 17`s and upgraded her looks to a `94 but can`t just find Lorinser or Carlsson body kit here in Europe. Maybe you know who sells these body kits for a w124. I tried Erebuni but these were the ugliest kits I`ve ever seen. So if you have some knowlege what might help me, please tell

ashman

did you try contacting brabus or wald?

Thanks! I`m gonna order a Wald bodykit in January. Pretty wild kit I would say. And to the people who say that w124 is untunable - well, lets see....

BTW can I fit some 18`s to my 300E?

ashman

you can, I would go with an 18x8 offset 35 wheel. you will need to roll your fenders though.

You mean like the E500? Does rolling fenders do any damage to the paint?

Mikk

ashman

there is a difference between rolling fenders and flaring them.

Rolling the fenders involves bending the little inside lip of the wheel well up, rolling it so it gives you a few more mm of clearance.

Flaring, would be actually changing the wheel well to a much wider wheel well, which involves major work. a competent bodyshop or high end tire shop should easily be able to roll your fenders if its needed.

I see...
I`m probably going with flaring fenders (should look more agressive) and the price is very reasonable where I live
Now I`m choosing 18``s and don`t know what to pick. The Wald alloys look pretty neat... but there is also Brabus, Carlsson, Lorinser... ****, that alloy problem is like with your dick - you always want it to be bigger (I used to have 15`` and now even 18`` seems a bit small, but fortunately I can`t afford 19``)
So if You have some good ideas what kind of alloys should I buy, please let me know...

pics!!


and can u tell me what u did to her?

Mikk

What I did to her? I put new hood (with avantgard grille) and trunk and added 17``s. And of course a new headlight set. I have also changed the oldfashioned orange turnsignals to white ones. That`s about it so far.

I`m gonna order a Wald bodykit and thinkin` about lowering my car in the future. But that`s future.

A funny thing is that I don`t have any pics of my car and I`m not gonna take them until the project is finished. So - be patient

wow your going kit before drop. interesting. Im currently saving up for the wald kit. Ive already droped my ride.

We do fender rolling for 50 bucks. You can get a little flare using a roller butt that is the incorrect way of using the roller. Ashman explains that whole situation pretty well.
