Don't know if this was posted already, but here is a real cheap way to upgrade to past 92 style hood for W124 owners.

It's a metal extension that gets welded to the original hood.

Click on "Carstyling", then "facelift".

Although I haven't gotten it fitted yet, I inquired at my painters wheter they could do it and it was like basic stuff to them, real inexpensive too if all they have to paint is the hood. So one of them is on order already and I'll take pics of my car with it fitted.
The part costs 129 euros, plus shipping. You have to factor in the cost of the labor and a new grille but it's still cheaper than a new hood+lights.

Have a great day everyone.

Let us know how it goes. This has been posted already and there were some concerns about the new paint chipping after repeated use of opening and closing the hood and the resulting hood flex...
