Very Nice!

I have to say that I would have been satisfied with your before picture, but those rims do look very cool painted back with polished lips and chrome center caps. Your new big aggressive front bumper and spoiler looks very good too, even though I am generally happy with the OEM. I definitely agree that the stainless is a very nice touch that was worth it to keep. It looks like you also went with monochromatic white. It looks very good. Here again, I would have been OK with the two-tone look, since I always liked the way it looked with the white cars.

The bottom line is that your car looks awesome in its current form and it really looked very good before your recent mods.

With all of those miles, I guess it is fun to be able to give the car a fresh look now and then.

Thank you for the kind words!!

Yes with as many miles as she has, she needed an update. the pics dont do the wheels justice, but they are an Acura charcoal grey that look stunning,if I do say so, in the sunlight. But at different angles light etc they really change the appearance of the car.

Hello KaRaKaN
Please tell me what year your car is and what year and model is that hood and grille. I love the looks and would like to do mine that way. Thanks in advance. I have a 95 E300D.

Notice how I drilled the bumper to accept the stainless under the headlights, most people dont do this.I think it looks cheap on white cars without it.






Stock VS Mine!


Someone at the VW meet took this one.



And Finally, this what it used to look like.

BEAUTIFUL CAR!!
Any mods to the interior? Send me a PM if you are interested in selling it in a few months.

BadBenz94,

your white E420, and Alon's 300CE have to be the nicest tricked out W124's that I have seen in a while!

Wow...

Too bad the only tricked out 124's I see around here are ones with clear corners, and blue bulbs.. and that's it.....

ps, those 500E lights look really sharp. I've been wantin to get a pair but I would lose the fogs unless I do the bumpers, then I'd wanna get the side skirts, the rear bumper, lowering kit... and it won't end .. hehe

"93" 300 TE 4 Matic

This is my little PITA MB 300TE 4 matic. Paid 5700.00 bucks for her last May, 186,000 miles, and clean as a whistle inside and out. Just got her running yesterday after she dropped dead on me Xmas Eve... It was too cold to get to her until this weekend, and I rather burn at the stake than use any other mechanic including a dealer, other than my expert self! DIDNT start while parked in my driveway, just after loading her to the brim with a ton of presents and ready to drive 125 miles to my sisters in upstate NY... My old ratty head liner hanging "85" decrepid Volvo 740 turbo wagon saved my a$$... (Actually the Volvo runs like a fine swiss watch) Well at least she (The MB) didnt get me stranded.... Her poor little ign.coil finally crapped out, they are so cheesy the original ones.... I called the local dealer to ask for some advise, spoke to their top systems mechanic, and he got all hot and bothered when I mentioned the car broke down. He immediately began to correct me (with a thick brittish accent) as to say: "My Dear Sir, a Mercedes Benz automobile never ever breaks down, they just simply, "FAIL TO PROCEDE"...
Being brought up and raised in Brooklyn NY, I felt like saying to him, you fricken A-Hole, where did they f##king grow you anyway? He also refused to give me any real advise, and went to say that there are over 65 relays, fuses, modules, and sensors in your car, so how can I really help you? I said thank you anyway, and then told him that the things I forgot about diagnosing engine problems, are the ones he'll never learn....LOL
I will keep this car until I die, she is such a pedigree... My first MB, wow... and now I truly know what a real car should feel like, and drive like..... (and start like)
Dave.....
