Hello
ALL W114/115s have the thin aluminium trim rings around the round dash vents and YES they do fall off after 30 odd years. On my W115, the rings around the speedometer and combi gauges fell off too. I used very little clear silicone adhesive to stick all the trim rings back to where they belong. Of course, I polished all the sticky dust off first.
No need to buy the new fangled cars with *aluminium trim* around the gauges, our cars had that almost 40 years ago
Have a good week.
PS My other car has four individual round taillites as well and it went out of production in 1975. Nowadays, every new car has round lites *hiding* in a shaped plastic housing
