Any idea where can I source a complete belly pan for a W124 E300D - mines missing. and the stealer is expensive

ebay/craigslist, or parts yard.
I have 5 124's and only one has the panels...

I say goodluck. I'd contact a mercedes specific wrecker.

The cabrio only has an engine belly pan so I'm lucky

do they actually quieten the drive?

Not in my experience, although the factory says so. My '87 is not quieter at idle, sitting in or standing beside the car, or at speed. It should help the coefficient of drag, however.

Theyre kind of a pain if you need to do anything under there though, the bolt holes get gunked up pretty easily after being out and about in the elements for a while.

The belly pan's hex-head screws screw into replaceable rectangular "nuts" that fit into rectangular holes in the under carriage. I like the sound encapsulation panels because it seems to keep the engine compartment relatively clean.

Where do you get new replaceable rectangular nuts? I have one that needs to be replaced.

I checked out some older 124 panels and the front one seems different - like it wont fit on my car - Ive got the OM606 btw

I got mine from the dealer. Let me look around to see if I have an extra one laying around. If I do, I'll let you know and mail it to you.
