The wide body kit was more than just four pieces, to complete the vehicle, there were bumpers, lower cladding, side skirts etc. None of those parts would be of much use without the four piece steel body panels though

I just talked to an individual who worked at Westmont.
They never did a widebody W124 coupe, and he's not sure if BHMA in L.A. ever did one....but he said on the W126 coupes they did use steel in Westmont instead of the fiberglass that AMG had available.
Only reason he stated was that they had a great sheet metal man !!!

Go post that on 500e.com and see where that gets you. Thats what I originally posted as well, but one person claims to have seen the kit with AMG part numbers, which goes completely against everything I have read. Normally the proof is in the documentation or the pictures, none of which I have yet to see.

The boxed kit 300ce's all seem to look the same, whether or not they are from Germany or Japan, which leeds me to believe that this is some sort of pre-fabricated kit, but I just can't nail down the specifics or any pictures of it

Rik and Ed. You guys need to do a joint dissertation on MB/AMG history. You guys really seem to enjoy the research aspect!!!

Nice car, great post RBYCC!
I stared at it for a while, and it looks chrome to me, but I've got no concrete evidence to base that on!

anyone know which headlight assembly I can get on the market to get that look? Same thing with the corners... they just don't look like the stock ones but I can't tell what the diff is.. smoked maybe?

Grill frame is white, grill painted black and chrome grill trim painted white.

Headlights are standard euro's. Lighting is playing tricks, could be because of camera flash.

Just to clear things up; the rear & front fenders I did on the cabrio was all stock parts from the 500E made of fg.

Kind regards,

Docbellpa; was showing my wife your car last night on BAT. We've owned a 300CE for 26 years.....so we really appreciate the tasteful AMG treatment. I've never seen one in the wild! (would be a great option if it were a 3 pedal)
I suspect when people see where the bidding currently is, it quickly separates the men from the boys, so to speak. Best of luck on the auction and you should be proud for being a great custodian of this rare vehicle.

SpiderAce....Ahhh thank you so much!! We really are just custodians of any vehicle! And you’re right, it would be nice if would have been a 3 pedal! Thank you again! I appreciate it!! Blaine
