What NOT to do to your W124

How about W210 headlights, chrome grill w/ huge star, 22" wheels, and little chrome egg shaped fender accents?

looking at the wind resistance that front spoiler would create, i don't think you'd ever get that monstrosity above 7mph.
can anyone find that pic of the eastern european w124 that the guy tried to make into an s-type jag?? i found the site, but the pics are not showing up any more... that was by far the worst thing ever done to these cars!

lol... I donno, I like how its different. Nearly every w124 looks the same, or everyone does the same mods because god forbid you dont do OEM or OEM+ . Props to that guy for doing something different.

I donno, the w124 is timeless, but its timelessly meh Its just not a cool looking car, I get old w124 confused with old camrys and stuff. They dont stand out unless you really put a ton of money and work into the car. IF you can afford to do that, sure, they look amazingly sleek and classy. But bone stock, boring, bland, and totally forgettable. I think the 190e was more interesting to look at :\
