Mercedes Benz W126 JP

Not mine, it's at a local dealer awaiting compliance due to being a fresh import
I'm thinking of jumping on it once it's ready, but I'm not sure as it's only a 2.8 straight 6, if I did get it, it would only be for the kit and rims for my 500SEL
It would probably be cheaper for me to source those parts alone from Japan though

If you have a deft eye, you'll notice the lower part of the front air-dam doesn't look right, I smoothed it over with Photoshop as it's quite badly damaged, the owner says it happened during shipping and that it will be repaired
I really don't like the front-end grille treatment, if I get it I surely won't put that part on my car

Re: Mercedes Benz W126 JP

first off, wheels look fine.


second of all, you would be a total retard to not get that car because it is only a 2.8 straight 6. If you love VIP cars you should get that. If you want a fast car, prolly time to move on to another way of building a car.

Yeah, and if your worried about engine, why not just put in a bigger engine in. That car is a complete package: perfect ride height, wheel size, paint, body work, etc...

Re: Mercedes Benz W126 JP

I'm not too concerned with the engine size as I already have a W126, a 500SEL 5.0 V8 (in my sig), that's what I want the body kit and rims for
