Sahweet. I'm actually glad that you went with the 124. After thinking about it, your previous Mercedes was a bit small :D

yeah it was. the eclass is the same size as a ls400/5series so its a nice size. not TOO big.
the wald kit should be here in a few weeks. the stock bumpers are shown.
the tails are red/clear updated tails with LEDs.

wheels will be here in 3 months, so i just got it painted/body work in the mean time.
no point in putting a freeze in the buildup.

The fender spacers bring the bottom of the fender out to clear bigger wheels.

anywhere from 10mm - 25mm

this is the best i can show. theyre custom off of the amg design. but since amg limits the space to 10mm, i went with a custom setup @ 20mm.
