How to get the rally look.
How to get the rally look.

I have bought a pair of Hella Rallye 3003 lamps, and going for 2 more (3 on each side, like the Audi S1 had, back in the days).
I'm painting a spare hood matte black, putting on taxi-springs in the front, applying yellow head light film and putting on BIG red mudflaps.
I'll be using some 15" BBS RG wheels from a W126. Should I paint them signal orange, maybe?
This is somewhat of a good look, IMO: (Mine is getting alot more ground clearance, and I'm keeping the bumpers)

Any suggestions on what else I should do?

As we're experiencing cold and dark winters here in Norway, I'm going for the rally look on my 123... For practical reasons, and because it looks awesome as hell if it's done properly.

I also attached a car from Norway with 4 driving lights. I might get 2 more to fill out the look.

82 300SD aka The Flyin Pumpkin (Gone): 7.5mm super M-pump, T3 60 trim turbo, Coldish air intake, A/W intercooler, propane injection, SW Boost and EGT gauges, Monark 265 nozzles, ported/polished cylinder head.
84 Euro 300D 4 sp: White with black trunk and hood. Blue cloth interior. Manual everything. 300DT front swaybar. C320 17" wheels. Now with the Flyin Pumpkins engine!
I love the look of the first one, right down to the wheels... Now I gotta find a set of those wheels! For the rally look, I would say keep the bumpers, add lights, 14" wheels with knobby tires, and about an inch higher than stock!

That year Paris-Dakar was won by.... ahem... errr... a Renault 20 Turbo... (which is total crap compared to the Merc), second place for a Lada Niva, third place was a Merc G-Wagen, and then a Range Rover...
Oh well,

Here's one from the 1982 Paris-Dakar Rally. Alas, the w123 DNF. (or as the French so delicately put it "Abandon" -ed.) nice pun, huh?

I lowered mine and installed 14" Knobbys haha

(09-29-2011, 04:16 AM)vstef_is Found these on the internet, perhaps they serve some inspiration.
I Love this Thread and Its kind of nice to see the 300CD with the flared wheel wells and 3 piece chrome bumper I was wondering how that would look and now I have to do that. The funny thing is... that is really close to the color I have chosen for my car. Just wish it had the R107 front Air Dam and that would be me car in my head, minus the lights ...sorry guys I know that what you are going for I have no need for them hear in Northern Cal
GREAT PHOTOS
Thanks
