W124 Modder's dream...
I found a bland-ish rendering done by someone on the net (dunno who) that chopped the Brabus W204 rocket kit onto a W124...
I made some adjustments
Painted to match Enzo
Enzo's Carlsson wheels
Enzo's fogs...brabus-esque
Four slat grille
Background alteration
Tinted tails and better red
Black diffuser
Enjoy!

lots of cars
That kit is def possible and the 4 slat grille i was going to make but it cost too much to make the mold... around $160-$200
The rear wing i've seen it before and maybe a zender item...

I kinda have a different vision of my car...I want smooth lines and all black but no kit... One major diff is that this car in the pic has the CE trunk and i will need to get the rear clip of a ce and make it fit
This is my goal but i don't know if im going to do smooth doors yet or add the cladding.
Those wheels are lowenhart LDRs but im getting Zenetti Heirs in 19x8 all around.

the front bumper looks like the AMG C55 and so do the head lights

Totally sweet.
Mark, if I understand you correctly, you're saying you'd add that kit to a e500e, not your 300. Otherwise, the fender mods alone would cost you huge amounts of money.
The totally shaved 300 is a really cool idea. I like the look. That also would be a huge amount of work though... shaving the lower trim mounts and filling in with sheet metal, the door handles, antenna, the trim pieces on the C pillars, etc. Not to mention basically rebuilding the bumpers.
But if you had the time and energy, it would be really sweet.

Yeah, could be cool!
We shall see...
Gotta find the right 500E and sell the condo I have listed first!
TheGerman....It's not a question of buying a W204. I can buy a C63. What "plastic" are you trying to be all unsuccessfully funny about? The fenders will be metal and the bumpers will be whatever they are made of....CF if I go brabus, urethane if I go Expressions...do you think your bumpers are made of platinum? 
Yeah Chris....I still love the W124....this would be one of a kind...
We'll see!
Yeah, this would be done to a 500E...beacause the fenders are already flared and it's just a much better car.
We shall see...

Mark, just pick up a 400E/E420 and mod it. You have major fender work to do anyways, the 500e body won't be any benefit. You can always make drivetrain, braking, and other mods afterwards.

HAHA, you read my mind....I was just thinking that might be a good option too...although there is still a big difference between the 2 cars...

I'm sure there are, but look at the mods they're doing on the 500E sites. 500E swaybars and brakes are being replaced, so basically everything there could potentially be aftermarket. THe body - as discussed above, 500E no benefit. Under the hood you can always source out a 5.0L M119 engine from an SL,S or E or get a complete M113 drivetrain and swap it out, then add some Brabus goodies. Then you'll truly have a rocket!
