Some details left behind: Early prefacelift dont have chrome strip on the bumpers up to 1989. Front headlamps are also different before 1989 vs 1989 to 1993. And the rear bumper shape is not only different on the molding colour and size but also the whole bumper its self has a different shape after 1993 till the end of production. Rear door window, rear heated window, front window and roof trim not mentioned at all: 1984 to 1989 all mat black. From 1989 till end of production gold chrome finished. And there is even more. Units from start and up to 1989 dont have a plastic sideskirt. The star on the hood also is different as well.

Don't even get me started with differences between wheel design, hubcap design, exhaust pipes, jacking pads, blacked out grey mouldings, lower bumper design and the AMG spoiler differences. Heaps more to it than meets the eye...... There was even a Mopf 0 which are the really early cars. They actually had different location of the outer temp sensor and a separate button for the sunroof (not integrated into the cabin light assy)

Would it be possible to swap the pre-facelift headlights and the hood to the facelift model? I like the pre-facelift look better.

hello, i have one w124 200D from 1990 and i want to put the e500 body kit in him, my worry is does it fit? Also i wanted to change the grill to the new one, so that means I need to change the hood bonnet and also the head lights right?
