Original Gen 1 Pre-Merger AMG Body Kit – Mercedes W126 Long Wheelbase (SEL)

Offered here is an extremely rare and historically significant 1st Generation Pre-Merger AMG Body Kit for the long wheelbase version of the legendary Mercedes-Benz W126.

Designed and produced during the independent era of AMG, this body kit represents the raw, early identity of AMG — before its merger with Mercedes-Benz.

The 1st Generation AMG aero package is highly sought after for its sharper, more aggressive styling and limited production numbers, especially for Long Wheelbase (SEL) models.

The First-Generation AMG Design Language

The Gen 1 AMG kit is defined by:

• Deep, angular front air dam

• Integrated lower fog openings

• Period-correct side skirts

• Subtle but aggressive rear apron

• Muscular, lowered stance

Unlike later AMG designs, the first-generation kit carries a more hand-built, motorsport-inspired aesthetic — bold yet unmistakably 1980s.

On a Long Wheelbase W126, the proportions become even more dramatic, enhancing the executive presence of models such as:

• 420SEL

• 500SEL

• 560SEL
