The Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 is the placeholder in our minds eye for what Mercedes Benz's should be. Boxy, classy, high-quality, and above all, restrained. This customized Russian W124 is anything but.

Oh it started off simple enough, the owner dropped it down and put some fancy, AMG-inspired wheels on it, but then things got out of hand. Instead of just getting a new Benzie, this one got new parts grafted on, some C-class headlights and new tail lights and a horrific, ASMA-like grille. Then there's the hood vents and fender gills. Oh, and the triple-tipped exhaust pipes. We're going to go wash our minds out now. [EnglishRussia]
