@Rebel32LThe chrome fender arches are screwed onto the car. !985 models have a couple of one year only features. Some good, some not. 1) transmission is the smoothest shifting W123 2) highest ratio rear end for better highway cruising 3) An oxygen trap exhaust system that was so awful MB has a lifetime recall. The trap gets clogged and robs power. Your only choice is to remove the trap and replace it with a straight pipe or swap out the entire turbo and exhaust manifolds to the earlier versions. 4) The air filter element was $50 if you could find them but now they are NLA!
