W124 Center Taillight Reflector

Hi,

Anyone know where I can get that center tail light reflector piece that makes the tail lights look like they are one entire piece across the rear for a W124? I'm looking for all smoke or smoke/red. Any info and pricing would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure where to get that, but you can get a plastic insert that was used in 92-93 before the trunk lid change, which fills the space and looks very good.

I always thought the reflector ones looked kinda tacky.

But the body color insert looks very good, changes the look of the whole rear of the car in my opinion.

Add on 94-95 taillights, and you are set.

jdoc 7,
are you serious....???...
We always take out the reflectors between the rear lights as soon as we get a car in which has got that! It doesn't look good on a benz (but taste a matter of personal opinion!).

Go for the suggestion Ashman wrote down. The body color inserts look very good and were used by mercedes as well (on the coupe and convertible). Add on some taillights and you will be better of as with a reflector...(this is just my opinion).

greetingz,

Does anyone have a picture of this body colored center piece on their vehicle? If so, I'd love to see a pic of it up on this site or you could e-mail it to me. Thanks!

Could anyone tell me where I could find those body color inserts for sale.

Thanks

'91-'93 124 sedans used the plastic filler panels from the factory, as well as '91-'95 124 coupes

i think the body/trunk filler pieces are either on the adsitco.com or the capitolwest.com for sale.

MBenz,

would you post some pictures of the SWEET lookin' w124 convertible !? maybe at least a front shot. how is that [possibly "for sale"] car equipted ?

thanks very much,

[AV]

Thanks

ebennz,

Additional pictures of this W124 convertible will be posted on my own web site (to be published before the end of the month I hope). I don't want to post a picture of the front yet, cause it has a VERY UGLY looking SEC bonnet that HAS to be changed for a W124 E-class bonnet (with head light lenses).
I will point out the complete configuration of the car as well (euro models are normally not as complete as the US models).
The car is for sale (over approx. 14 months) and will go to the US within 2 months; there is only one problem to keep me from selling it in the states and that is pointed out in the following thread: www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=12241

I don't know anything about the US availability of the trunk filler, but in Europe you can order the complete conversion package ((euro)taillights and filler) for about $180,-; you can order it on-line and the supplier sends it all over the world...(if anyone is interested)...

greetingz,

MBenz, could you tell me the name of the supplier which offers the taillights and filler for $180.

Thanks

[AV]

Please post url for this supplier,maybe a bunch can be ordered and costs shared by all who are interested.
Thanks

Check out ebay also. Some people were selling them really cheap, b/c nobody wanted them. You can check out D&W, but I doubt you will be able to find what you're looking for. Most likely you'll be lost, but interesting nonetheless. The mags are so expensive.
