A124 what is wrong with my HOOD
I saw many examples of this hood on the internet but i still cant understand 
obviously something is wrong with the look of the hood, is a factory-made or it is aftermarket...or something 3rd
it looks like it is a mask from R129 can someone explain it

It's a period aftermarket "SL" look hood modification that was even offered by AMG.
Basically a sheetmetal surround that was welded to the stock hood and accepted the SL grille insert.
The problem with it is that it overlaps the foglights.

Those were cut down from C126 hoods if I'm not mistaken.
