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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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