Neil,

So you bought another fast and terrific car!!! Congrats (I have been out of the forum for a while). What car do you prefer to drive now; the basic-just-bought 500E or the damned-I-changed-way-too-much 300TE?
I prefer driving my totally rebuild C250D over the 300SL24 (although I start to like the SL a lot better after it changed a little during the last couple of months).

BTW: It doesn't look too much out of place if you start by changing the headlights first and the hood later...I bet that most people don't even notice the rounded lenses coming from beside the grill.

good luck & greetingz,
