recent pic of my 124.030
 

here's a recent photo.

any opinions, beside the fact i'd like some 17's?


sorry, i deleted the crummy pic

another shot

the color of your lower cladding is different on both pictures.
Which is the correct color?

it is really grey/gray.

i have no idea why the one shot looks almost a 'tan'.

gray would look much better.
and 17" amg rims as well.
Did you just buy it? How many miles?

It is grey. The sun is on it in one shot making it look tan. Or maybe it's just dirty:)

I don't really like white cars but the merc white/grey combo looks pretty good.

Are those clear corners OEM or copies btw?

You need a 155,000 mile high mileage badge from MB. It would look good on the grill and maybe add a euro license plate - front and back. I wish my State would offer that kind of plate like they offer conservation plates and such.

yea, something like this :)

but not like this... :)

I like white W124s too. I had one a while back as a loaner car and I really fell in love with it. I'd love a white E500 ;)

I personally wouldn't do anything else but wheels ;)

i generally don't post pix of a dirty car... my explorer maybe.

my clear corners and euro's are BOSCH. i think most copies are dung. [my opinion].

the tan looking picture was directly facing a late afternoon sun. i would hate the tan.

white/grey w blue leather is a decent combo. it is also my wife's favorite!

i have the paperwork to send in for the badge, just haven't done it yet.

here's another shot, a 'xenon' 6 watt t4w

same location, a little less direct sunlight.

gray cladding


http://www.ftwtrucks.com/gallery/xpl...ort/442481.jpg

when did they start making the cladding that was a solid piece like that? I have an 87 in white, and it just has a black rubber bump guard where the cladding would start, and then more white paint under it. This looks bad in my opinion, I wonder if I could fit my car with the one piece cladding if I managed to get some...

Have you considered tinting? I plan to tint my windows eventually, but I'm not sure if the white would look good with dark tints. Anyone on the forum have white w124 w/ dark tints and willing to post a pic?

chazola-now here's a clean car/truck

dirtysocks- do you like the tint on my ex?
if i tint the car, the wife says 'not very dark, do you understand'

i have a euro license plate random number stuttgart tag. the damn thing fits on the rear of my explorer.

i would mount a euro tag at car shows if i could get the euro rear filler piece. COME ON EURO MEMBERS, how about some parts help?
i think the front filler plate looks good.

Ebennz,

Are those 15" OE 8 hole wheels, or are they aftermarket?

I ain't believ'in you said that!!:D ;)

THANK'S BIG BOY!

no intense offended on that 'big boy' remark, big boy!

i wondered if you had been paroled yet??


suigy

please refer to above statement by the captain. lol.

my 8 holes are 15" and OEM.

my spare tire rim is totally virgin brand new. thanks to a fellow member here.

peter

Ain't no clones at that ebennz home!!!

They look great. 8 hole wheels always make a W124 look better.

Out of curiosity, when you say "OEM", do you mean that you bought them from Ronal, or did you buy them from MB and they have the star logo on the back of the wheels?

sugi

4 of these actually came from my mb tech/friend.

i told him i was after some 8 hole wheels.

he said to follow him to his workshop, he pulled back a sheet and there was 4 very good condition 8 hole tri-star logo'd alloys.
he told me to take them with me and see if they'd fit.
i got home and as soon as i saw the 124 part number i knew they'd work. $50.00 each, pay me later he said.

about a year ago member 'wjm' listed chrome 8 holers in classified. i e-mailed him and asked if any were just silver. only the spare tire he said, it didn't look like it had been on the ground.

we struck a deal $50.00 for wheel and tire. i met him in northern ohio and picked it up. he's a real nice guy.

actually i got $300.00 for my 15 holers.

i think the 8 hole wheels are pretty sweet [for regular factory].


did that w140 interior bolt right up?

i had the blue wreath center caps and didn't care much for them.

how about a pic?

i may change my mind after seeing them again.

Since your 8 hole wheels have the star logo and MB part number, I think it is more correct to call the OE, instead of OEM.

The shift knob works just fine. You simply need a new chrome shaft.

You can buy them at:

Let's see if this pic works of the wheel with the center cap:

Here's a nice side shot of the car:

Here's the shift knob for your enjoyment:

You ought to consider illuminated sill plates. They fit right over your existing sill plates.
