I love the looks of those rims, anyone know which model they were originaly ment for? and age?
I bought them used, so don't have a lot of history on em, and i've never seen them before. I just fell in love the first time i saw em!
Anyhow- i'm having some trouble riding with them.
The car was dropped when i bought it, not sure how much, but i'm guessing at least 2". Theres no rubbing at normal driving- but when doing a 3point or so, maybe on an non levelled street, the tire will rub the lip. -which has actually caused a rather serious bend on the left fender lip. :\
is it possible to mod the fenders in some way? or should i just get some stiffer springs? (even tho the ride is bumpy enough as it is! heh)
Can you recomend a front pair Makahveli? is it the same for CE and E?

Here's my E420 now. Almost done.
I have waited quite a while to save up money and time to do this and she is finally getting there. I still have a little work to do but that will come in time. Sorry the pictures aren't so good. What do you guys think?

the car looks good! I remember you from the guy who bought the first set of Hammers from that one ebay seller.
where did you manage to find the entire AMG kit including the AMG Gen II bumper? The car looks extra clean and love how it looks! Looks like we'll be having similar cars soon, but mine will be white. lol Keep up the good work.

Gen II bumper
Thanks for the compilents Chris. When I bought the car it had the whole kit minus the front bumper. I had a search saved on Ebay, when I decided to look overseas. I found this one brand new in England. It was quite a hassle and three months later I had it. It was worth the wait though. I had to wait a little while until another Brit (hahaha) had the fog lights for sale on Ebay. I got the bumper for around 600 inluding shipping and another 175 for both fog lights. I lucked out on that one as the fog lights price out at around 300 dollars each here at the dealership. I just need to get the curb rash fixed and install some stereo gear that I have and that's it. Hopefully another few months and I can call it quits.

$600 is such a steal for brand new! It retails $1600 from the dealership! I think I should start looking on Ebay.co.uk That's where you got it from right? Anyways, I find a ton AMG GENII and the fog lights on the Yahoo Auctions in Japan, but none of them ship internationally. Bummer. Everything is coming out nicely though. I did however noticed the curb rash on the rear wheels. Keep us updated on the project. - chris

New Pics!!
Here's a couple new shots after installing my new headlight surrounds and painting my grille black. It was starting to get dark, first shot with flash, second without. Enjoy!

Hello, i like all the pictures of my beloved W124's

Now i have a 1994 W124 E320 Coupe with the full factory fitted AMG Kit with 17" AMG alloys.
Am getting a 1995 W124 AMG E36 Coupe in the next month or so

1994 E320 AMG Coupe
i forgot to say ...
i see the USA coupes have really bad front head lights with the fog lights bit blosked out, thats very ugly
also the front arm rest in some cars seems on some cars to be a kind of flip thing so you can put stuff in it, is it possible to put them on a right hand drive coupe?
also i hate having odd mirrors and would like 2 the same chape is that possible?
how fast should these cars go?
on my GPS system ive had both of my coupes upto 152 mph will they stop at 155 mph?
