nice rides ryhi, I noticed you have the euro bumpers... I've been looking for those wipers on the W126 - I don't want to put back on the US-version wipers on my 560... where did you get them?

so all the mods were done are euro bumpers, euro headlights and corners too? I know you said he removed one cat, and that it was lowered using that heating method, anything else?

The proper method in lowering ANY vehicle is to install lowering springs made for the vehicle - engineered for accurate lowering/performance, etc. and even spring rate throughout... heating/cutting coils is just plain ghetto

well, heating springs are really bad, but cutting coils isn't that bad, as long as you starting off with proper springs. Renntech used to offer AMG springs that were cut for further lowering on our cars.
