My W124 3 litre Turbo Diesel - Modernised.
I didn't like those, so I bought a set of mint facelift W124 plastics and fitted them.
It's not always so clean. My wife mistreats it and recently cracked the rear bumper.... So now I'm kicking myself for not buying the E500 rear bumper when I bought the front.
It's OK, another will come along sometime. The front seats are comfortable, but I really ought to get around to restoring the E500 Limited seats I have sitting in the shed and get those installed...
Right now I'm using my spare time for other projects, so the Benz just gets driven daily. I haven't even fitted the E500 brakes in place of 500E brakes yet.
winmutt. Gauges, you can do yourself - they're not that expensive. Here's a link. You'd need some UV bulbs & some flourescent paint for the needles. Fiddly job to do these though...
As for engine tuning, I've decided to stick with standard power on this car... It's fast enough as standard & smooth, reliable, etc and I have other faster machines to play with,; my wife doesn't need more power on the school run.
Thanks for the compliment Mr_Robs. They weren't made in white / silver, although when I bought it, the previous owner'd had the plastics sprayed in a light gold colour....
