My W126 500SEC. Any ideas?

Hey guys, i sold my C123 280CE a few months back due to becoming a serious money pit of stuff to fix up, so i bought a good second gen 500SEC W126 and sold the 123 afterwards. All i've done on the car so far is the sound system, some work to the exhaust system for a nice sound, and a K&N filter. I have eibach springs on the way soon, hopefully after i get back from my holiday next week sometime. 

Any ideas guys on what i should do aside. I like the wheels on it currently, but am looking for something else too... not sure what though.

gotta love the old Benz coupes! :runcoold: 
 
if it were mine id do Euroline DH in 19's. It kinda keeps with the old school style of the car but updated at the same time, being bigger and having a more aggressive offset and stance. 
 
cant go wrong with that car...classsic:biggthumpup:

The Euroline DH is an awesome wheel that i would love. Just finding a set is what i need to figure out.

i would go bbs le mans 18"....19" looks to big on that car...starts 2 look like a donk..:pat:

...anyway...be carefull wit that baby...don't spoil her...she's a beauty

Merc collector & very rare indeed, P plater with S class! :biggthumpup:

19" too big on S class??? :smiley-rofl:

I wanted this car so bad when I was a teenager. Very clean. 

While you're waiting for your springs, I would buff the yellowing out of the headlights and fogs.

....sure you can put a 22'' onnit.....and to be exact---it is NOT a s-class,it's a CL,126 SEC

Hahaha. My bad. Did not pay enough attention... Anyhow, 22" is too much....

Thanks guys. I think 19" is a good size, for a big car like the 126, i wouldn't want any bigger though. 

ebruce2: i'm planning on spraying that plastic inside the headlights black, like i did with my W123 coupe. Really makes a difference in appearance.

+1 for some wide Euroline DH's or similar dish style. I love how DH's look on german cars.

Buddy put the Wald kit on that car, absolutely stunning, just need to mod the w124 coupe for a W126 coupe cause there ain't no kit for the W126 coupe

How about an AMG kit and euro healights/tails..or a retrofit headlight plus the clear corners?  Plus some wheels to maybe look like this chop I just made:

I also paint matched the outer portion of the grill.

IMO that style benz looks best when left alone.

Slam it and get some AMG hammers and call it a day.
