One of the most spectacular and at the same time most refined widebody conversions of the 1980s: AMG's widebodied Mercedes 190E (W201).

The early version of AMG's wide body version of the Mercedes 190E (W201); wider front wheelarch and a much fatter rear wheel arch allowed for much fatter deep-dish  AMG-Penta wheels (205/55 VR 16 front and 225/50 VR 16 rear).

Two AMG Mercedes W201 Widebodies in wide show the difference in all-white and white-black to good effect.

1988: A 1984 AMG 190E Widebody that was for sale at the USA branch of AMG in Westmont, Ilinois.

A late version of the AMG 190E Widebody (1987) with the newer model AMG Penta wheels. This type of wheel makes the actual widebody not so obvious, since the spokes are more flush with the rim. The deep-dish effect is lost.
