Riches to Rags Mercedes style

Zombie thread but who cares?

That's about 10 pounds of ugly in a 5 pound bag.

I guarantee you that body kit was snatched up and adapted to a cavalier somewhere......

Anyway, the sad thing is as soon as I saw the pic I remembered the thread and thought it was from earlier this year. When I was the date and found it was 3 1/2 years ago I was shocked and feel old

Holy crap me too. Your post is what made me realize this forum has eaten 3 1/2 years of my life and made it feel like 6 months. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Me too.

I lol'd.

When I read the original post this morning, I thought, "I should say something about this" and, lo and behold, I discovered that I already had.

That body kit would have cost well over $10k when that car was new. I have seen a w126 sec with the same type of Koenig widebody kit on it, it was better but still no thanks. You can't even get the tires for them anymore either.

I've seen Rinspeed slantnoses with similar fitment, though not as gaudy- are they NLA as well?

If they have 15s probably. The Koenig Mercedes use 315/35-15 on the back, good luck finding those now lol.

I don't think it's a Koenig kit. This is the only 4 door I can find, but all the Konig kits have this same line along the door with the Testarossa strakes blending into it, not into the door like this one.

That just bends the brain.

I'm not sure since most of the information about them isn't in English, this one looks the same though http://foto.rambler.ru/users/ssmoll/albums/32530672/photo/498a35b2-14b9-f94d-4144-84b055f9c1b6/
