300ce w124
now , if somebody wants this i'm gona give it for free you just have to pay shipping, and if it's not that much i;m not even bother getting th shipping. i got this window spoiler, and i got it from england, paid like 90 $, and i also have another one i got from here somewere, paid like 150$ for it,
bouth said fits w124, but it doesn't fit coupe. so i think it might be for the sedan cause it's too wide for me.
when i got the first one i thought they maid a mistake but now with the scound one the same size and shape for the insideit meens thatis for the sedan.
they'r bouth fiberglass, not the best quality but will look nice painted i think.here are the pics from the one in england , and i'll post some pics tommorow for the one from duraflex or somethig

GREAT JOB !!!!!

Very similar to mine and in my opinion the best technique...
I reliefed cut the base arch to extend the flare out further..


Below are pix of my build so you could better see the same technique that Geoss used !!!

Trimmed stock wheel arch overlayed on the fender









Rear had a trimmed 911SC wheel arch overlayed which replicates the AMG widebody kit panel

Nice flare work, make sure they coat the inner wheel wells with something like Por15. You may want to install 500E inner front fender liners if there is a gap.

Are you interested in an AMG duck spoiler?

The inner wheel liner is critical...
Easy to build with sheet aluminum, but you still want to use some type of an undercoat.








Oddly enough the AMG builds used an expanding foam to sealt the gap between stock and extended wheel arch !!!

Guys, Im am so exicted and amused, just got my hands on those hard to find 3 piece AMG Forged Rims. All I need is the Gen 1 Kit and a Good body shop.

RBYCC - Just curious any molds of your project? Out of all the ones I have seen, urs is the best. It does not look tacky with major bondo work. Very inspired, but worried about cost of the project. Any tally on the body work in particular? ($$$$)

Also if body guy, I live in Cali

Thanks

It's all steel fabrication, using Merc and Porsche sheetmetal.
Built as a "tribute" or replica to "1AMG" which was done by Stratton's in the UK.
Reason I posted the build on the UK site is that the real "1AMG" is still around in England and undergoing work.
Owner is a young man who shows up on many USA Merc forums under the name of "NickGed".

Also the only known AMG C124 widebody kit exists in the UK.
I've communicated at length with the owner and used the measurements to pattern the sheetmetal work on my car.

Trying to get it as close to the period car as possible.
Hood will have vents, similar to the Mosselman C124 "Silver Arrow"
Decided to go with vents to extract heat from the period TurboTechnics twin turbo install.

Geoss's body guy is doing it in a similar manner...
If you want to go "Widebody Light" then just overlay a set of trimmed wheel arches over your fenders.

There actually is a "Widebody Light" coupe that is owned by "Bondavi" on another forum.
It was built by BHMA who was an AMG shop in the eighties.

From my research there was never a full widebody C124 built in the USA.
Strattons built two, and possibly another five total between Germany and Japan.

You bought the sel all the way from OC? How did you end up fixing the mpg problem? was it just a sensor?

lots of cars
Just my opinion.... You should cover the roof moldings with black vinyl and get rid of the smoked clear corners or black out the housing on the headlights. Also, that grill is ummm yeah.... Nice body work and just get some 18" e55 monoblocks and you'll be set.
