It is actually the bottom of an old w126 bumper cover - turned upside down, and then cut out as you see you see it here.

Finally had a chance to finish filming a project I started in summer. It shows some of the evolution of the car. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Yes, this is static.Last edited by Deutschland201; 12-02-2017, 07:18 PM.

What are you running for suspension in the front?
Running Bilstein B8 Performance Strut in front (P/N 22-003652) coupled with the strut mounts from a 1995 500SL (aka w129 chassis) which are P/N 1243200473. The SL strut mounts give you about 3 inches more travel than the typical w201 strut mounts.
Springs are from a w124 wagon and cut to desired height.

Well, there is enough that the shock does not poke through the hood. But, the clearance did not come without a bit of shaving. You will see that I had to grind down the edge of the shock and the retaining nut.

And, as you can see, there is some scraping on hard bumps.

But, I have not dented the hood. So, we're still good.

And, just for fun, a picture after installing the LED foglights.

Here is a video that I shot primarily to address the w202 chassis Mercedes. HOWEVER, because w202 springs are often used on w201 (190E) and w124 (300E, 500E, etc.) chassis Mercedes, I felt that it would be worthwhile to share it here too. Within the first 2 minutes, you can get all of the information you need from the video.
