Nice W124!

Time to get a buffer and start doing your own detailing!

HAHA, of course u fuka! I always get VIP treatment from my friends there....just let me know next time u like go! It's always a monumental experience with the "jolly green giant."

On a side note; both the bouncers on the backside at Femme Nu held a bet about my car's model! One guy thought it was a Lexus & the other knew it was a Benz, so he won $5!!! HAHA, LOL!! What a funny beginning nite!

Mikey, I got plenty satisfied from 1 scoop (hehe) since my FWB friend was serving cocktails ....

DUURRRRRRR, it's time that you started an FOB parlor! LOL LOL LOL LOL!!

Right on, Thanks for the compliments! The light output on the W124 crystal headlights is almost too extreme. People waiting at bust stops horizontally to the street I am travelling get a moderate beam of the HIDs... However, I am still having problems with the turn signal blinking when headlights are turned on....

If you wrecked your 400e to the point of "totalling," you should post the motor for sale on www.190revolution.net, since plenty guys with 190s want motor swaps to V6 or V8, instead of 4banger turbo or supercharger.....There's way tooo much tweaking involved with a different MB 4 or 6 banger motor & turbo/supercharging.......

I have to say the crystal headlights look good only on certain chassis, it's almost a last mod with the JP fusa & kitsuna

Hopefully this helps.... YES, YES; I know I near a bit of lowering in the rear suspension, but if you understood, the MBs with rear SLS suspension are pretty tricky to adjust. Personally, I am contemplating changing the rear struts to Bilstein Sports & re-insert the OEM E500E rear springs just to see if there is any noticable difference.....

At last resort, if I'm unsuccessible in achieving noticable tuck in the rear wheels, I will add AIR suspension with fatty rear spacers.

Just as Mike & Mikey state; 15-20mm spacers in the rear wheels will cause a "huge mojo lurch" for the set panties....

That's amazing. Looks good!

But i have to say, if that really is an E500, don't lose any of the stock parts, those cars are stupid rare.

I appreciate your kind comments & we both know I need a bit of suspension tweaking to make it "pop."

Avantegarde- you are right, W124 E500Es are stupid rare & I'm doing my best to keep all the OEM parts..

The car looks great, I really like that body style.

You should consider doing an HID retrofit in those headlights. I can only imagine the glare that comes from your HID kit. Some F50 Q45 projectors would look amazing behind those crystal lenses.
