500e bumper

[pupsi]

Hey Niks, no need for colour coding, should be straight forward.

If you need a hand, give me a call. Kully will come down as well and we'll have a little 124 meet

 

[Niks]

That would be great, nice idea! But my days off from work are on weekdays as im working on the weekends now unfortunately so I dont know how this will work you and Kully.

It would be easier if I had some instructions to tell me what is what exactly and what I need to do really, thats all.

Hey Nik,

Sorry couldnt ring you today i got caught up at work (still here) Yeah i'll be up for a mini meet i can do my 500e light conversion too, i was thinking about it last night and from what Talbir has written its not too hard, in terms of times i'm good on most weekday evenings.

- Talbir, I was thinking of just extending the wires on my main beam so that its long enough to reach the fog lamp location, so that if i wanted to (when i sell) i can restore the headlamps to original setup. Also this will mean theres less wiring to do for the fogs as these are piggy backed off the headlamp fogs.

Also Niks, we dont need to worry about colour codes I can use my snap on probe to find positives and negatives

 

[Niks]

Awesome! It will have to be next week sometime though as my car is going in on tuesday to get bushes, ball joints and tie rods replaced. I'll drop you a message when my car is back and then let me know which day is good for you.

 

[MBK]

No Problemo, i might go ahead and do my car before then just to work it out.

Niks, sell me your 500e front bumper , i'll take you orig. e36 front bumper. I so tired to find front bumper on my e500....

 

[gunning]

that looks awsome buddy, really smart car!

Thats a head turning machine, surprising what a lick of paint'l do isn't it gromit! that two tone grey and black works, the front grill works too. The badges can go mate, i love to see a merc an untrained eye wont have a clue about! Just has so much road presence, bully everyone out of your way!

 

[Niks]

Hey thanks guys, I really appreciate the compliments! Its hard to keep clean in this weather though.

Andrew, sorry mate I cant sell that bumper lol. I think there are 2 or 3 for sale right now on german ebay for about 700 Euros (without paint or lights).

Gemdo, I ended up taking the E36 badge off but left the AMG one on. It looks more cleaner now.

I once drove my fathers car and asked him to drive mine and follow me for a short while on the motorway, I never realised how much presence the car had in a rear view mirror! Especially with the bumper fog lights on in the night.

You never appreciate how your own car looks until you see someone else driving it!

I can take your one for a spin if you like

 

[gunning]

Its a nice W124 because it, like you say has presence on the road, looks meaner but still classy

 

[Gemdo]

Cool, i mean that AMG badge is a dinky 1 anyway. You have to see your own car on the road, makes you happier about it. Its the only way you can see whether its how you actually visualised it

Thanks, i'll find. I live in russia and here is no e500 front bumpers, only bears on motorcycles and ****ing opels lol! Someone wants e36amg front bumper? It can mounts on narrow 124 face. looks like new.

Your 124 looks great! Luck!

 

[Niks]

Dash's black one also looks great too! Do you have any pictures of your AMG front bumper? How much would you want for it?

 

[Andrew e500]

i'll post em when i'll get them

I might be interested in the e36 front bumper too
