The 86 w124 project...
I'm putting all my other projects on hold and i'm going to start working on the w124. 
With the help of an old buddy getting me some parts 
im moving with the plans on fixing up my w124. This is just going to be a daily driver so don't think im gonna go crazy on it...
I just wanted to post it so you guys know whats up..
.. I still need to do some work on it but i hope it comes out looking ok....

I'm going to have to do some convincing to make it fit but it should be no problem. I'm going to try to make it an add-on to the w124 bumper so i can later reproduce them. It's not a c63 bumper and it's going to have double fogs on each side.

Yeah I was, but who else would get this kit ...It's just the front, when the whole package comes together it's gonna be totally different...I'm looking at different grill options and i think i know what im going to do...I'll keep you posted. btw, im looking for rear bumper so i'll let you know too.
I call this the w124 black series..maybe a little too much huh..

I can see some serious potential with some altercations. The rest of the car seems a bit dated compared to the inside airdam contours of the bumper. Maybe square the roundness off a bit to give it a that period AMG Mercedes look???

You should, just don't make it like the first one lol.
There are tons of other ideas i have and tried but the bumper I'm using was the best fit. You can do a brabus or amg type bumper but the cost to chop up a bumper kinda stops a lot of people. I have like 10 bumpers in my storage room but i need to get rid of some. It's also easier to go the fiberglass route because the OEM bumpers flex too much to be able to mold them onto the 300e bumper.
BTW, look at aftermarket s10 chevy bumpers and those fit with little mods.
