Weird option of W124!!!

[sub_zero]

Hi all,
while browsing the internet I came across this option of W124,I was really amazed..never heard of it..can this option be applied to all W124 models?
these are called front wheels panels.

Some guys in Japan already installed it in non E500 models.

UK 300-24's and early 320e's had those as standard on the left side, it's protection for the oil cooler.

I bought both of them recently, because one was missing and the other one was looking tired. They were about 20£ each.

My 300-24 had those grilles just in front of the engine oil cooler .

Do they fit any model of W124? mine is E220 /1995? and not AMG?

Just asked the local dealer about them..both right and left have different prices!!
but the local dealer is not sure if it will fit my model

My oil cooler is built into the oil filter housing on the later E320 engines (1995

May be the same on the 220 engine.

looks like a good idea and maybe help with the prevention of the rot around the side of the lower front of the wing

I think my engine has no oil cooler..I just want to add these to the front wings.
I wonder how W124s with bumper fog lights look like without these..they will look ugly (you can see the fog lights light from behind the wheels.)
I have to make sure they fit any W124 first..
I have seen some screws beside the front wheels..am not sure if these are for the front panels.
