RE: Sweet!!!

At least he had the sense to go white on the corners.

Amber would have been a glaring fault

Re: Sweet!!!

He used that much white paint-- but forgot the hood release?!?

Is that rear seat covered with a bedsheet?

RE: Sweet!!!

He wanted to go chrome-less; but the grill screen should be black. The grill screen frame should stay chrome and would work well with the Euro lights and clear corners so the grill screen frame would not stand out.

The superfluous SEC-type fog lights in the bumper are problematic – you don’t really want the Wagon Queen Family Truckster look – and the trunk lid treatment may not be needed.

Overall I like it, the white grill being to only real problem.

Re: Sweet!!!

Get rid of the trunk lip spoiler, front fogs-get a different set, more integrated looking, have the grille chrome.

RE: Sweet!!!

There needs to be some contrast. Also, the all white is a bit much on the old-style grill frame.

yea, that guy probably put a lot of money into his W126. He should powder coat his rims white. LOL.

RE: Sweet!!!

The more I think about it, that is a really awesome pic:

2 W140's, a BMW E36, and a W126.

The 126 is a little too white though.

cool, I think the W140 on the far left has Lowenhart Rims, and the W140 on the far right has parkatronic. That E36 bumper is nice.

yes, I have seen many as well, but they are optional. Even '97-99 S600's do not have parktronic standard. It is because some people like the classic look of the bumper. Parktronic makes it look weird, but it is very useful.
