we only live once. right?
when i got the car was bone stock.i've tried to upgrate to the new front stile, and i got some china hed lights and tail light, which i don't recomand to anybody.

What are you doing to get the front and rear bumpers and the cladding to match the wheel arch extended flare ?

Looks good

geosss

thanks.
what i did i didn't cut anithing from the arch of the fenders, they're the orgcinall ones so it just continues with the same line of the bumpers like the stock ones.all i have to do is just widen up the bumpers a little bit wich is ok cause they'r flexible.
how this guy did it for me as i've seen it, he just cut like a 1 to 2 inch strip form another fender and placed it in betwen the arch part of the fender and the one on the car.so it widen up a little bit with the same original arch
like a fill in

geosss

i have pics but i took it with my camera and the size is to big for posting, if u'll tell me how to compres it i can post it snd u'll se how he did all of the fenders

ZedStyle

quick way is open them in Paint and then go to Image and Resize them smaller

i think painting the corners and tails black is not going to look that good. at the most, maybe the turn signal strip on the tails, but not more than that, especially not the front corners, more so on a white car...
car is looking great so far though, so you know what you're doing!

ronald7410

Could possibly use another coat of clear. Looks shallow

RBYCC

Makes sense..

I did the front of mine with an overlay of another stock wheel arch...
Pulled it out more then yours to match the original widebody dimensions.

Rear I went with 1980"s Porsche SC which matches the AMG widebody kit.

Had to flare out the mounting for the cladding to match the extended wheel arches...

Yours looks great...keep on posting pix

geosss

that's very nice. i love the wide amg stile, and i wish i have what u have on that car , but it will take me some time,and some more $$$ to get there.
so far what i want to do because i have stock engine i just want to get a nicer look.
are u'r weels 17?
cause mine are 18, and i don't know for shure yet if i'll have problems with the front fenders.
it doesnt touch the tires when straight, i'm woried about turning and braking in the same time, that it might get the fenders.
right now i can fit one finger in between

geosss

and about the tail lights and corners, my bad, i'm just doing a smoke and than a clear coat on top, just to darken it a litle bit.
i'll post pics tomorrow

CHECK YA PM

RBYCC

I had 18 x 8 ET35 on the car, but the widebody will use the period correct AMG/OZ Aero I 3 piece..17x8.5 et 17 front and 17 x 10 modifiied to et-7 rear.

Did your body shop set the fender extensions with the wheels on?
We used the installed wheels to establish how far the wheel lip should extend. The front wheels were on dollies so they could be turned lock to lock to check interference prior to welding.
Still may have to make some minor mods should the road test ( if spring ever comes !! ) proves any rubbing

geosss

the one u have are f....ing nice but it's also $$$ i've seen it at this guy in germany for like abot 2500 all four, but still it is something.
for now i m okay it doesnt touch. i'll have to test it on the rod, hopefully by the end of the week its gona be assambleyd
i will see if not i'm thinking to do like 17 on the front with the same tire size only on 17, i'll gain an inch by dooin that right?
i don't know how it's gona look.

geosss

herea re the tayl lights pics i got it from the shop

JSe420

those came out well...I know you already filled in the holes for the star but I think a black star would look really good on the trunk lid

jason3977

i agree! question for you! what trunk did you use? or how did you get it done? (1994-95 trunk lid with silver trim)

geosss

yes i have a 320 e trunk 94. i am thinking to do that small trim black but i.ll see.
and about the black mercedes sign.that is option too

ZorroAMG

I'm hoping you don't get hassled big time by the cops...they look GREAT, nice and glossy but much too dark from a safety standpoint.

Good luck though!!

geosss

i hope the same thing.
i'll see, if i do i will let u guys know.
they said at the body shop that this is the darkest legal u can get .
but i don't know.
i got pled over once because of the licence plate cover was smoked
but i don't know abot tail lights, i'll see it how's gona be when lights on, if they'r preaty visible than i might get away with it.

geosss

i used the 320 e 94 lid from sedan.
it didnt fit s i had to cut it a little from the top corners and charge it a little to the very butom corners to get the same line. than also i had to charge the corners of thecar to meet up with the trunk line because it was like about 1/2" more out than the corners of the car.
