Tuning 124 Mercedes alteration of kites. The final version of the Mercedes-Benz in the Body W124 with a steep pneumatic suspension

The second generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class with the Body W124 has become a truly religious car around the world. These cars still can be seen in almost any country where fans clubs are being created, and the owners lick their handsome to the perfect state.

Mercedes W124 love both in Russia, and especially various special versions, such as Brabus 6.9 or AMG 560CE. But the unusual versions were much more, and we tried to collect them all in one visual article.

BRABUS 3.5 / 3.6 W124

Brabus has been improving the Mercedes-Benz cars in the 80s. For W124, it offered a whole range of engines, and the starting models were BRABUS 3.5 and BRABUS 3.6. In fact, 3.5-liter cars produced quite shortly, after which it began to produce a slightly more powerful version with a 6-cylinder 12-valve engine to a 36-liter working volume. He issued 245 hp and 360 nm of torque. The maximum speed is 250 km / h.

Rare 3.5-liter engine

BRABUS 6.0 / 6.5 / 6.9 W124

If you have enough courage and money for a normal engine, then Brabus offered 3 variants of power units with a working volume of 6.0, 6.5 and 6.9 liters. All of them were made on the basis of the most powerful W124 - E500, which we know under the nickname "Wolf". And if the 5-liter engine capacity of 322 hp was installed on the E500, then the power of Brabus 6.5, for example, was 444 hp. Up to 100 km / h such a version accelerated in 5.2 seconds, and the maximum speed was 285 km / h. The power of the 6-liter engine is 408 hp, and 6.9 liter - 509 hp

From external differences: branded alloy wheels, through which improved brake mechanisms are viewed, Brabus nameplate on the trunk lid and sports exhaust. Salon, naturally, in a very rich configuration. Do you know how much cost at one time? In England, its price amounted to 72,000 English pounds of sterling! And it is a lot!

BRABUS 7.3 W124.

Seven and three tenths liters from Brabus! You just think about these words. BRABUS 7.3 Became a vertex of the gamma of the modified cars with the body W124. Here are just some characteristics: work volume - 7255 cm3, power - 530 hp At 5750 rpm, torque - 754 nm at 3700 rpm, the maximum speed is 307 km / h, overclocking up to 100 km / h - 4.5 seconds. Approximate price for those times - DM 500,000! But there was an even more powerful version called Mercedes-Benz W124 BRABUS E V12 7.3S with a capacity of 582 hp and torque 772 nm. Bomb!

Brabus W124 with universal and convertible bodies

We are all accustomed to see Brabus cars with Sedan Body. But the well-known Tuning Atelier was without any problems for refining versions with various bodies, such as a wagon or a convertible. They were completely identical to the options with the body of the sedan, but they were content with only the most "weak" engines with a working volume of 3.5 and 3.6 liters.

Mercedes-Benz W124 SEC-HAUBE

One of the common stylistic methods for finalizing the standard W124 was a hood in the style of Mercedes-Benz 500SEC C126. This rather ridiculous tuning added the exterior of the car insightness, but became popular among the German owners. There were even the versions of Brabus with such a hood, one of which is presented in the photo.

Mercedes-Benz 300E 3.4-24V / E36 AMG

In 1988, AMG, then not yet belonged to the Mercedes-Benz concern, introduced a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder engine, which was installed on 300E AMG 3.4, AMG 3.4 CE and 300TE 3.4 AMG (W124, S124, C124). He could easily issue 270 hp And used Bosch Ke-Jetronic injection.

In the mid-90s, an AMG has developed a 3.6-liter engine. It was put under the hood not only E36 AMG in the Body W124, but also C36 AMG W202 and E36 AMG W210. Stunning power unit developed power 280 hp And torque 385 nm. It was the E36 AMG that became the main competitor version of Brabus 3.6.

Mercedes-Benz 300E 5.0 AMG / 5.6 AMG / 6.0 AMG / E60 AMG

The Mercedes-Benz 300e with a 5.6-liter engine from AMG became the first sedan, which overcame the mark of 300 km / h. It was a completely crazy record, because the sedans of that time (and modern too) were not capable of such. The fans of this car from the USA made this version of Hammer (hammer). Engine V8 working volume 5547 cm3 - Development of AMG. He issued 360 hp

Ultimately, in 1987, 5.6-liter V8 evolved into a 6-liter version with a capacity of 385 hp and torque 566 nm. After the basic model is modernized, he began to be called. And in 1984, AMG began issuing a 5-liter version of 300E 5.0 AMG issuing 340 hp, putting the beginning of the use of V8 on W124. In fact, AMG created the predecessor of the legendary 500E, which appeared only at the beginning of the 90s.

Mercedes-Benz 300 CE 3.4-24V / 5.6 AMG Widebody

Among the entire AMG model range in the Body W124 had a special model - a coupe 300 CE 5.6 AMG Widwebody with a wide body. Its specifications were completely identical to the Sedan Body versions, but the appearance struck with its aggressiveness and elegance. This is a very rare version that is almost impossible to find now.

But there is an even more rare thing. From 1988 to 1993, AMG released 25 copies of 300 CE 3.4-24V AMG Widebody. The 6-cylinder engine of this version was about 50 hp. (Power 275 hp) more powerful than standard 300E.

Mercedes-Benz E36 AMG Cabriolet

E36 with the body of the cabriolet has become one of the rarest cars made in AMG on the basis of the 124th body. From 1993 to 1996, only 68 copies have been released. Of these, 54 were with the left steering wheel, and 14 - with the right. Now this version is a collectible rarity.

Tommy Kaira M30E W124

The well-known Japanese tuning company Tommy Kaira became famous for its modifications of Japanese cars, but, as it turned out, began its activities from work on the European sedans Mercedes-Benz. In 1987, Atelier presented the M19 sedans based on Mercedes-Benz 190E and M30E based on Mercedes-Benz 300e.

Under the hood M30E was a modified engine M103 with a capacity of 225 hp The European set of external tuning will seem a bit strange, and a three-spoke steering wheel - in general, tasteless. But this is Japan! By the way, already in 1988, Tommy Kaira began to engage only tuning Japanese cars.

Oettinger-Mercedes 300E 3.6 W124

The Oettinger's German tuning-atelier also had a 3.6-liter version created on the basis of 300E in his arsenal. Its capacity was 240 hp. At 5800 rpm, the maximum speed is 250 km / h, and overclocking up to 100 km / h - 7.1 seconds.

But an externally car was rather unpretentious and looked practically as standard. The main difference is the cast Ronal wheelbases and Oettinger Decols on Body Panels. The speedometer was stationed up to 300 km / h.

GH Car-Design Mercedes-Benz 300E W124

German tuning Atelier GH Car-Design for a very short time made a set of enhancements for Mercedes-Benz W201 and W124. Modified cars received new bumpers and overlays on the thresholds, as well as the "power" engine package. 2-liter engine model 200e "accelerated" to 153 hp, and a 2.3-liter model 230E - up to 180 hp

BOSCHERT B300 (W124)

Imagine that you live in the 80s, and you really like 300sl gullwing. Where to get a modern analog? The German engineer Hartmut Boschert also wondered by this question and quickly found a response to him: it is necessary to make such a car on the basis of W124.

The first prototype of the BOSCHERT B300 car was demonstrated at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in 1989. The front part borrowed from the Rhodster SL R129. The rear racks of the roof are shone forward for 25 cm, and most importantly - installed the door of the "Seagull wing" type, which occupied the entire space from the windshield to the rear window!

In 1989, they made a simpler version with ordinary doors. It was planned to release about 300 BOSCHERT B300 cars, but this figure was never achieved. In addition, most of the released coupe were without super-doors. According to some data, there are only 11 cars like "wing of seagulls". In 1990, Boschert B300 cost 165,000dm.

Wald Mercedes-Benz E-Classe W124

Japanese Tuning Wald has exceptional productivity. It makes bodies for a huge number of models, including on W124. By the way, you can buy such a body kit even now!

The composition includes front and rear bumpers, side skirts and special fog lights. These few parts simply turn over the appearance of the sedan, coupe or wagon. Many W124 owners consider Wald's body kit perfect and canonical. And we agree with them!

Carat By Ducatelet Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

The Belgian company Carat By Ducatelet is now engaged in booking a representative class car, and in the 80s engaged in Tuning Mercedes-Benz. Unlike many other tuning ateliers, trying to give appearance and character W124 more sportiness, Carat By Ducatelet focused on luxury.

The exterior body kit was extremely strict, and the wheels are too "calm." A small spoiler was installed on the trunk lid. But inside was a paradise of luxury. For example, the front panel, the doors and the center console were finished from the real tree, and the steering wheel was replaced with a steering wheel from W126!

Carlsson C300 / C35-24 / C36-24 / C62 W124

I am sure that any fan of German cars knows the Carlsson tuning studio, engaged in refinement of Mercedes-Benz. At one time, they put her hand to W124, having released a whole range of various options.

It all started with the Carlsson C300 model made on the basis of 300E. The engine of this sedan issued 245 hp, and it was only the beginning. It followed C35-24 (not to be confused with C35, which was made on the 190E base) with the engine with a working volume of 3435 cm3 and a capacity of 275 hp, and C36-24 - 3525 cm3 and 285 hp

The company could finalize any version of W124, including a coupe, a convertible and wagon. The vertex of the model range for Carlsson became C62, whose 6.2-liter engine developed 425 hp and 620 nm. Up to 100 km / h, he accelerated in 5.4 seconds, and in the maximum speed only a little lost similar cars from AMG and BRABUS.

CDS TUNING MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS W124

This is not photoshop, but a real W124 with the front part of Mercedes-Benz SL R129. A little higher, we wrote about the Boschert B300 coupe with the door of the "seagull wing" and the front part in the R129.

The CDS Tuning Non-existent CDS also used a similar solution and produced not only the coupe, but also sedans with such an front part. How many cars were converted - unknown, but probably very little.

Goeckel Tuning Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

The German atelier goeckel still produces a wide range of w124 modifications, both visual and technical. For example, in the Assortment Atelier there are kites in the style of AMG, and even the Hammer version with a wide body! You can get acquainted with the entire list of details on the official website.

HASLBECK MERCEDES-BENZ 300E W124

Another German company was engaged in styling W124. All changes were exclusively visual. Improved in the workshop Haslbeck cars received new bumpers, side skirts (interesting, by the way, forms: Their front part came on the wings), a spoiler on the trunk lid and new wheels.

Koenig Mercedes-Benz 300E Turbo W124

We are all the guardian of the Koenig Atelier for completely unthinkable and insane tuning projects. But were in the history of the company and more standard work, for example, 300E Turbo. Standard 3-liter engine from 300E received turbocharging, which brought power up to 300 hp Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h has now amounted to 6.2 seconds, and the maximum speed is 265 km / h. Slightly modified bumpers, side skirts and corporate wheels from Koenig added sportiness notch in the look of W124.

Koenig Mercedes-Benz 300 CE Widebody

But this project is somewhat more impressive. In addition to fairly ordinary alterations of sedans, Koenig transformed options with a body coupe in monsters with a wide body. Double turbocharging brought the engine power to about 345 hp And how do you load the rear tires - 315/45 R17? Wheel discs - three-spoke OZ.

"Extension" W124 at that time only Atetel AMG was engaged, but even they were not solved to make the appearance as extreme. Of course, such a remission cost tremendous money, and the result was not to taste everything. Probably, so now such cars are considered to be rare.

LORINSER MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS W124

Lorinser is another well-known German tuning atelier, exclusively by Mercedes-Benz cars. In the late 80s - early 90s, they put her hand to the legendary W124. The cars finalized by the company combined elegance and sportiness, and alloy wheels of the original design are still valued on the secondary market: for not a very killed kit, 20-25 thousand rubles are easily asked.

Mae Mercedes-Benz E-Classe W124

The German company MAE was, first of all, the manufacturer of exclusive wheeled wheels. Naturally, their arsenal had a set of refinement for Mercedes-Benz W124. Approximately 6 years ago, the company began to fever: she changed several owners, and now it seems to be completely died.

Mercedes-Benz 300 CE by R Straman Company

R Straman Company has become known thanks to a stunningly elegant coupe conversion in convertible. For example, Straman reworked Ferrari supercars in convertible, using the canons of the best body-building builders. Cars that came out of the gate of this atelier, not only looked like factory, but exceeded them.

Standard Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio was pretty slaughter looked with a raised roof, but not the creation of R Straman Company, whose silhouette repeated the version with the body coupe.

Expression Motorsport Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

Belgian tuning Atelier Expression Motorsport decided to bet on one of the most desired Mercedes-Benz cars - Rhodster SL. A set of body parts for W124 is made based on a stylish rhodster.

Renntech 600E W124

In 1990, W124 with the engine V8 of the American company Renntech - model 600E appeared. As a base for the engine, a power unit was chosen from the Mercedes-Benz 500SL R129 rod29, and all the refinements were performed on the basis of 300E W124.

Briefworking up to 6 liters, American specialists managed to raise power from 322 hp. The standard 5-liter engine, up to 381 hp at 5600 rpm. By the way, the engine control system was borrowed from AMG atelier. They also took a set of visual elements. Up to 60 mph Renntech 600E accelerated over 4.9 seconds, and the maximum speed was 250 km / h.

VH-Tuning Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

Do you know where to start the official brochure of the company VH-TUNING? From the presentation of an unusual trunk with an integrated spoiler - a visiting card Tuning atelier. In addition, the W124 installed hoods in the style of the SEC model and a set of aerodynamic lining, which was called Baltimore.

Ambulance MIESEN BONNA on the W124 chassis

On the elongated Mercedes-Benz W124 chassis versions of 230E and 250D small companies (mostly in Germany) made various specials. For example, Atelier Miesen Bonna produced unusual ambulance carriages with a high roof. In addition to them, very similar models produced Visser from the Netherlands and Binz from the city of Lurh.

TRASCO BREMEN Name of Atelier, extending cars, sounds like Rolls-Royce. Cars that come out of the gate of this company are the embodiment of prestige and chic. Among customers - states of different countries. For example, TRASCO BREMEN MERCEDES-BENZ W140 limousine is in Gaja Gaja.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Limousine W124

From May 1990, the elongated sedan (800 mm large base) was produced, developed together with BINZ, having 6 doors and allowing to post 8 people. Extra long cars were intended as hotels or a taxi.

Mercedes-Benz W124 appeared in the European market in 1984 and was serially produced up to 1997. At the beginning of the eighties of the last century, it was the first model of the E-class car.
The joint work of designers and designers of the German concern brought a good result. The body of this model has a low coefficient of aerodynamic resistance and increased noise insulation. At the same time, it retained in the main features of the conservatism of the lines of the inherent Mercedes.

For that time, these were truly revolutionary results, which allowed for a fairly short time to win the love and respect of motorists.

During the twelve years, five different options for Brende Mercedes brand 124 were issued:

  • a four-door sedan in which there could be five passengers with a body length of 4755 mm

Tuning options for Mercedes W124

This model of Mercedes was not officially supplied to the Russian market. Nevertheless, in the nineties, the distiller delivered many different cars of this class to Russia. Until now, in the secondary market, such cars are sold quite actively.

Merced 124 attracts its classic, conservative design that is not outdated even after the expiration of thirty years from the moment it is launched into production.

Nevertheless, in order to confidently feel in such a car on the road today requires a serious tuning Mercedes W124. Considering that in our days, Mercedes in the Body W124 became a real legend, a tuning of this model is engaged in serious service studio, such as Lorinser, Carlsson, Brabus, AMG.

Of course, the cost of services of masters in this studio is very high, so a person with an average sufficiency is best to contact the tuning studio, which are available in all major cities of Russia.

In addition, there are currently a large number of auto parts stores that specialize in the supply of spare parts and equipment, up to colors and stickers needed to make Tuning Mercedes 124.

Deciding which improvements for the car driver plans to do, you can order the necessary details and make refinement with your own hands.

Such work as Tuning Mercedes can be done simply improving the appearance of the machine, but many motorists are not limited to this and make deep transformations in auto units. There are several options for such work on the improvement of the vehicle.

  1. Performance measures to improve the design of the cabin.
  2. Frequently often owners of this machine set new or additional binding, which largely change the appearance of the car.
  3. Much attention is paid to the selection and installation of more modern lighting equipment.
  4. Modern manufacturers offer new types of windy and other glasses, as well as additional equipment to them, which facilitates the operation of the machine. Specialists in tuning are also engaged in their replacement and installation.
  5. Optional or more modern equipment and parts for engines and exhaust gas removal systems are often installed.
  6. For such a car as Mercedes 124 important and sometimes mandatory action is the replacement of suspension and brake systems.
  7. The overwhelming majority of motorists emphasize their belonging to the famous brand and installs all sorts of linings, plugs and nameplates with the corresponding symbolism.

Among the specialists and motorists there is a humorous statement that the tuning of the car begins with the replacement of wheeled disks. And this fully refers to Mercedes with the body 124.

Improved Exterior Mercedes 124

Improving the appearance of the machine, specialists primarily offer two variants of the radiator grille:

  • chromed - Mercedes 300E, 300 CE W124 94-95;
  • black with chrome edging - Mercedes W124 300 CE, 300 DT, 300 E.

Mandatory, the front and rear bumpers are changed. It is also desirable to put an aerodynamic kit that improves the driving quality and reduced fuel consumption. In stores offer several bodywork options:

  • 86-95 E-Glass W124 4DR AMG STYLE;
  • 86-95 CE-GLASS W124 C43 STYLE;
  • 86-95 CE-Glass W124 C36 STYLE.

Sporty kind of car give spoilers and chrome moldings. Pads on door handles and external stainless steel side mirrors, chrome covered with a very skinny supplement.
In order to improve the appearance, many drivers install the silencer exhaust pipe with a chromed tip.

Making on Mers 124 Body Tuning Do not forget about replacing the front headlights and rear lights. The front lighting is especially important, which helps when driving in the dark. In the market of spare parts offer block headlamps complete with turn signals and headlights front crystal.

Replacing automotive glasses

Car windows perform important features, protecting the driver from sunlight, oncoming wind and noise. Choosing glass, it is best to buy green with a slight allowable toning, which has not only light-protective, but also noise insulating value.

On modern windows, you can install the rain and light sensor, as well as heat glass heating.

Engine tuning

The most common option of improving the operation of the engine is the engine chip-tuning, that is, the correction of the power installation control unit program. The best result is such a correction gives turbodiesel engines.


To increase the power of the Mercedes 124 engine 124, you can install a lightweight piston group. This work is certainly better to charge specialists for a hundred.

Important! In order to improve the dynamic characteristics of the car and enhance the engine power on Mercedes cars, 124 experts advise the compressor. It improves the composition of the fuel-air mixture without interference in the elements of the fuel system.

In addition, the installation of the compressor contributes to an increase in the shelf life of engine parts.

Sometimes instead of a compressor car enthusiasts install a turbine. However, this requires serious additional changes in the engine design and new software.

Improving Mercedes Car Salon Design W124

Salon tuning is better to start with the dashboard change, if it remained on the car in its original condition, that is, as it was installed in the eighties or nineties. Nowadays, it is possible to install instruments with neon backlight.

The next step should replace the suits of the cabin on modern materials. You can also replace the seats. Today it is proposed a wide selection of special tissues of various quality. But you can also just buy new covers for the driver's seats and passengers. It will cost cheaper.

To top off tuning salon, you can set overlays on intra-alone thresholds. They can be both clogged and illuminated. There are also special pads on the pedals. If desired, the steering wheel is changing on a special version of the sports type.

In the cabin can be made and deeper changes. For example, Mercedes Vito tuning is often made with a redevelopment of the cabin. The same work can be planned and executed on Mercedes 124 with the body of a wagon.

In the same order, Tuning Mercedes 190 is performed.

Tuning work on such a car as Mercedes 124 requires serious preparatory work and sufficiently large cash investments. This must be prepared in advance and carefully monitor the progress of the planned work.

Mercedes-Benz in the Body W124 deservedly enjoys great popularity from motorists. Even the cars, on the speedometer of which the digit of a run of 500 thousand kilometers is banging, with timely and due service look and feel on the road perfectly. At the same time, interesting tuning projects on the basis of this model are rarely found.

Therefore, an instance presented in the photo is of great interest. And it is not even w124, and S124 - it was such a labeling that was used to designate the body of "universal".

Sedans in this style can be seen quite often, and the wagon is unique. And at the same time he is great.

The car is in such a state, as if only left the cabin. The design of the car will withstand in a strict style - nothing superfluous: classic with a wooden handle of the Nardi and a table in the cabin, restrained colors.

Among the bright details - the original body kit. And since it was borrowed from his coupe, but I had to make some improvements. Tuners changed the form of bumpers so that they perfectly become on their place.

Separately, it is worth saying about the suspension, which collected the Superstar Customs masters. It used toxxix universal racks from the back, the front shock absorbers from BMW E36, adjustable levers from the body of the sedan and the Airlift V2 Management Pneumatic Suspension Kit.

Mercedes is the legendary car of 1984-1997, produced by the German concern. He was the first representative of the E-series with a characteristic design and excellent technical characteristics.

The car "Mercedes" 124 body was performed in five modifications: a wagon, four- and five-door sedan, a convertible and an elongated sedan. The car was equipped with diesel and gasoline engines with a capacity of 135-370 horsepower. At the automotive markets, the Mercedes model is still very popular and is considered the eternal classics of the German car industry.

Despite the strict traits of the car, many car owners try to perform tuning 124 "Mercedes". Changes made in the car can be the most diverse ones will be discussed below.

Classic German Auto industry

Many motorists from all over the world appreciated the magnificent specifications, a small indicator of aerodynamics, good sound insulation of the cabin and conservative design "Mercedes". Despite the fact that in the markets of Russia 124, the model did not appear, in the 1990s there were a lot of modifications to the country.

The last released version of Mercedes has become a convertible - in such a bodies, the car was produced in 1991-1997. The coupe, cabriolets and sedans were completed with diesel and gasoline engines; Their capacity varied from 136 to 365 horsepower. Today, all these models need a significant processing and modification: the time did not spare them, despite the fact that some copies are well preserved.

Professional tuning 124 "Mercedes"

To rest for restyling the legendary car, unfortunately, not all tuning ateliers agree. Such work affecting different parts of the Mercedes car 124 (body, engine, salon and other), only large and well-known world-famous service centers are performed: Carisson, Brabus, Lorinser, AMG. In such professional studio, you can order a truly chic and unique tuning "German", but also to pay for services will have a rather big amount.
Not every owner of such a car is able to allow it to himself. However, tuning 124 "Mercedes" can be carried out on their own without resorting to the help of famous masters.

Tuning options

The most common versions of the modernization of the car are tuning salon. "Mercedes" 124 and in terms of exterior - a good platform for creativity. Such changes concern only the exterior of the car without affecting its technical characteristics. You can improve the latter only through the integrated refinement of the German car.

Tuning 124 "Mercedes" includes the following changes:

  1. Replacing the suspension and brake system.
  2. Improved interior.
  3. Adding parts to the engine, installing an improved exhaust gas removal system.
  4. Replacing optics - new and modern headlights on "Mercedes" 124.
  5. Installation of additional collaps, almost completely changing the exterior of the car.
  6. Replacing the transmission - MCPP on Mercedes automatic transmission 124.

Modernization of design

Changing the "Mercedes" exterior almost always begins with glass replacement. It is very scrupulously suitable for their selection: if you follow the advice of specialists, it is better to pick up the glasses of greenish tint and necessarily tinted. They protect the salon from the excess sides and reduce the effects of sunlight on the driver's eyes. It is desirable to install rain and light sensors and windows. "Mercedes" 124 due to this will be even more comfortable car.

The next step is to install new bumpers. The acquisition of aerodynamic oblites will not only give "Mercedes" a more modern appearance, but also allow to reduce fuel consumption and increase the characteristics from the car "Mercedes" 124. Budgets are desirable to acquire only those suitable for this brand and car model.

You can give a sports machine with spoilers and chrome moldings. Strong the image will help metal lining on door handles and made of stainless steel side mirrors with chrome coated. Do not forget about the grille of the radiator. A small addition will be a silencer with chrome-plated strip.

The latest changes in the exterior of the car can be the rear and forehead lights: it is desirable to choose crystal kits with turn signals.

Improving interior

The first are subject to changes in the seat. "Mercedes" 124 initially has a boring trim. You can either purchase ready-made covers, or sew them on your own. A more profitable option is the first - ready-made kits will cost cheaper than their manufacture. The only minus - a suitable coloring is quite difficult to find in the markets, so if the owner wants something original, you will have to take care of the purchase of material and the personnel manufacture of covers.

The next stage in the tuning of the cabin is the instrument panel. "Mercedes" 124 production of the 80s has morally and technically obsolete torpedo. The dashboard will have to be changed completely; To facilitate the driving process, you can set the display, video recorder and navigator, reliable multimedia system.

The tuning of the car's salon may include the following changes:

  1. Installing a new steering wheel.
  2. Placing special linings on pedals.

In almost all modifications of the car "Mercedes" 124 characteristics are great: engines have a good power supply and strength. The latter allows you to slightly expand the horizons and increase the technical potential of the Iron horse. The main work in this direction is the installation of the compressor: it improves the quality and indicators of the air-fuel mixture. The advantage of this option is that the fuel system remains untouched and does not require changes.

  1. Installation of carbon AMG clutch and mechanical gearbox.
  2. Installing a new, lightweight piston mechanism instead of the old.
  3. Chip tuning, or correction of the control unit.

Chip tuning

In violation of the indicators, the car owner threatens a fine of thousands of rubles.

Separately, it is worth noting that the rules allow the use of a toning strip on the windshield, the width of which should not exceed 140 mm. Such a strip is placed at the top of the glass; Its light transpusual ability should be at least 70%. The traffic police inspector does not have the right to finish the auto owner if there is a removable toning on the glass, which is demonstrated at the first requirement of the road inspection officer.

The modern version of the tuning of the car is a car is an electrochromic autostream, the adjustment of which is carried out by pressing the corresponding key. Between the two layers of such a film, conductive crystals are located, which are polarized under the voltage, because of which the film becomes transparent. The toning effect is achieved by the same crystals without affecting them voltages.

Double glazing of the car can give a similar result. Such a change in the "Mercedes" requires the installation of two brazers, one of which is transparent, and the second is toned. Alteration will require significant changes in the design of the door and install additional lifts.

Placed on the windshield of a fruit for heating allows to cope with Founding in the cold season - its structure includes current-carrying threads. Such a device feeds from the onboard system of the car.

  2. The surface is cleared of dust and degreases.
  3. The lattice is covered with several layers of acrylic primer.
  4. After complete drying of the soil, the surface is painted by matte black paint.
