I think he meant it in a good way, his car was totaled by a vw bug. You car is nice and i think the silver rims match the lower cladding so just leave it like that instead of all white.

haha no in a good way!

It was unfortunately totaled in a accident and I always wanted to finish it like my current W124 now!

I really miss having a white car so its good to see another member rocking one.

the only thing that sucks, chris is that i constantly get keyed at school all the time so touch up paint is very useful. Also, the white paint makes you want to wash your car when there are spots. I'm thinking about putting the same body kit you have on your on mine, but too $$$ ... So i think my work with my car is done ... now it's time to enjoy the ride and save up money and get another car when it dies.

Wow your car looks great. Can you post the tire sizes front and rear? Did you get the tires from the same place?

I would really like to get those wheels in 17s so I could have a bit more rubber, but after seeing your car, I think I will pull the trigger on the 18s.

We are practically twins. I'd really like to hear how the 245s fit if you are doing those soon. What do you mean you got the fenders 'pulled.' Was that before or after the pics?

nice pix ynvdizw124. Dernt, the pix i showed you are the after pix ...There are two types of things you can do to your fenders. Rolled meaning the fender has the " L " shape ... at the bottom of the " L " has to be folded like this " l " so that the outer tire will not rub. Pulled means you move the " l " out " / " something like this but slighting curve ... it looks nice ... if you go back to my attach pixs the 4th pix is the back view of the car showing the pull and roll ... I'll get the 245 soon
