It's even the right colour for my car...

That's a stupid amount of money for that.....

You can`t find the right price for that mate since is very hard to find another new one to compare .A new one for a C124 went on ebay.de for over 500 euros a while back
The seller is a member here and knows his stuff

I work on the basis it balances out my £160 AMG backbox

I doubt I would buy though - I suspect there's almost zero chance of finding the rest of the kit.

Well:The back box was a bargain but don`t say that about the spoiler
What if you find the kit later when this is no longer available

There is that, plus the spoiler is probably the one bit you can get away with on a standalone basis.

This is a very rare piece....even more rare I'd say than the w126 ducktail.

I've just bought a r129 and wuld have snapped this up....however the car I bought has a full Lorinser bodykit which is simply stunning ! Consider that I never had no intention ever of buying a r129...but this car looks awesome and has the full Lorinser package. Plus the KE injected m119 which I adore.

The rest of the bodykit should be easier to find but finding another ducktail is a low chance event.

Thanks

Was that the silver one Talbir?

No, black one.....Lorinser items : bodykit, 3 piece wheels, suspension, exhaust, steering and alacantra interior.

A few pictures here...i need to take some of my own but i want to refurb the wheels first and put back on the orange indicator lenses...i don't understand why people put white ones on a pre 1993 Merc. I'd undertstand if it was a Japanese toy, but looks so cheap on a Merc. Especialy as this one has the lovely Xenon headlights and so will look so much better with Orange lights.

Got this at a super price as well. It's a soulmate to my Brabus 6.9 W140 which has the full Lorinser bodykit/wheels/exhaust/suspension and is a sister car to the black 500E with of course so many common components !

And of course, big win for me...this car is LHD ! California car with zero rust !

thanks

Another car to give me sleepless nights The 129s are so good value for money and

The looks and stance of the car just won me over completely, i haven't seen such a good looking SL. And i had zero intent of buying any more cars, let alone a r129, the only car i was wanting was another 500E. but little difference between an SL and a w124 500E said the inner voice !

Lorinser rules too !

My wife has now booked me into a rehab clinic to treat my addiction !

But alas she must know there is no cure.......

 

[LowMilerAMG]

And if there were, you wouldn't want it anyway!

As that just looks perfect!

Is that an American or Japanese car talbir?

It began life in California, and then spent time in Japan before being imported here.

What did you think of that engine I put up before, was it just a normal one??

How right you are Talbir. I believe I have located a front bumper, but it seems to be missing the towing eye cover...something that I recall is nigh on impossible to replace?

 

[d w124]

I think EDZ had the same problem but had the cover made or something
