Why? Because they put incredibly ugly wheels on their Mercedes?

geez, they're really into the W201 over there.

Ummmm.....a 220D Playboy Edition? I had better give Hef a call tomorrow and let him know W115's are back in style!

I like the bumper and rockers here:

And for those of you who like riding on your rims (yes its a turbo diesel)
Notice the louvres (sp?) in the front fender to the left of the turn signal.

All W124 diesels have those, that's where the air intake is.

No, only the turbos.

And I thought the sweeds had good design sense. That car above looks like a photo-chop.

That's what I thought too. The reflectivity of the wheels are off.

Ara T. · #10 01-09-2007, 05:51 AM

That is a pretty obvious photo chopjob.

Carleton Hughes · #11 01-09-2007, 05:53 AM

On the other hand they do still produce decent fetish films.....

Ah, that explains the normal pictures that were in the same pile as this one. Going to have to ad that to my 87's fender.

Taking a fender from a late model W124 would be easier.

babymog · #14 01-09-2007, 06:13 PM

The louvers are on all 602 / 2.5 turbo cars. The '87 190Dturbo and the later (not '87) 300D / 124 turbos. Why the '87 300D didn't get them I don't know, could certainly use it as the air intake is crammed into that fender, I've been looking for a louvered fender for my '87 300D.

Lots of those cars are photochopped. If you look at the whole set of the car referenced (W124 wagon), sometimes it has pimp daddy rims other times not. Sometimes it has oversized fog lights, sometimes not.
