AMG W124 Sedan Gen I Body Kit—Authentic ’80s Performance Heritage
Transform your Mercedes-Benz W124 sedan into a period-correct AMG icon with the Gen I AMG body kit, a rare and revered design crafted during AMG’s pre-merger era as an independent tuning powerhouse. This kit channels the aggressive, motorsport-inspired aesthetics that defined AMG’s collaboration with Mercedes in the late 1980s and early 1990s, offering an OEM+ upgrade for purists and collectors.
Key Components & Design Highlights:
- Front Bumper with Integrated Spoiler
- A deep, boxed-in design with enlarged air intakes and fog light cutouts, optimized for cooling and downforce.
- Signature AMG rubber front lip spoiler (originally detachable) for a low-slung, track-ready profile.
- Rear Bumper & Diffuser
- Sculpted rear valance with dual exhaust cutouts, compatible with AMG’s iconic quad-pipe exhaust systems.
- Subtle diffuser styling to enhance aerodynamics without overt modern aggression.
- Widebody Wheel Arches (Optional)
- Bolt-on flared fenders (front and rear) to accommodate staggered AMG monoblock wheels (e.g., 8.5J/10J setups).
- Maintains the W124’s classic lines while adding 20–30mm of width per axle for a muscular stance.
- Side Skirts & Trunk Spoiler
- Streamlined side skirts that bridge the front and rear wheel arches, lowering the car’s visual center of gravity.
- Subtle ducktail trunk spoiler, period-correct for Gen I AMG builds.
Material & Authenticity:
- OEM Specifications: Original kits were fiberglass or ABS plastic for lightweight durability. Modern reproductions use UV-stable polyurethane for flexibility and crack resistance.
- AMG Branding: Includes embossed AMG logos on the front bumper and spoiler (if specified), replicating 1980s-era badging.
- Color-Matched Finish: Designed for factory Mercedes paint codes (e.g., Almandine Red, Pearl Black).
Compatibility & Fitment:
- Vehicle: Mercedes-Benz W124 Sedan (1985–1993), specifically Gen I AMG-tuned models (e.g., 3.4L Mopf 1 cars).
- Notes:
- Direct bolt-on fitment for original AMG-equipped W124s; minor adjustments may be needed for non-AMG chassis.
- Pair with AMG suspension (lowered springs or coilovers) to eliminate wheel gap and perfect the stance.
