[QUOTE=ksing44]I love it! It looks just like my own beautiful W124. Yours is especially cool, because you have the MBTex interior that will last forever and the high-miles-per-gallon diesel that can even burn vegetable oil for fuel. I think you have an awesome car. If mine was ever damaged, I think I would come looking for you to try to buy your car as a replacement.QUOTE]
I love your wheels but so far I have kept mine completely original stock |

But I could be wrong Anywho, my thoughts: If you like this car so much, and it is so perfect, then why sell it just to get another one? It seems like if you are set with a car you want, then roll with that. Seems like otherwise you might end up just cycling through cars, which although isn't bad by some people's standards, raises the risk of getting lemon. Nice ride... |

For the record, MBTex is cool
Quote:
Just for the record, my interior is very clean, but I do have some cracks developing in the seats. They have the look of very nicely broken-in leather seats. I don’t think I would switch to your MBTex, even though I bet they look like brand new. That like-new appearance is the hallmark of MBTex. I will probably just recover my seats, if they ever get so worn that they crack through or get looking too shabby. I may get around to replacing the steering wheel sooner than later, although I am not thrilled about the cost. I think I may go for the burl wood and leather wheel, if I ever get to that point. So far I have been trying to manage the deterioration of my wheel with different treatments, like leatherique, then I tried shoe polish, and most recently I used shoe heel repair. The heel repair was the best so far, but the finish has finally cracked a bit from palming the wheel during turns. The cracks are superficial in the finish, not in the leather itself. Fortunately, I found that it is possible to lightly sand the wheel and then reapply the heel repair to get a like-new finish that lasts for months. Justa little more for the record, the leatherique made the wheel worse and the shoe polish only looked good for a couple of minutes, until hand prints smudged the shine. The heel treatment looks very good and it feels like a new wheel, even though after some months it finally gets some cracks from the not being quite flexible enough to allow for the give in the soft leather wheel.

I like the way your wheels make your car have a wider stance. How abou the handling? Did it improve or is it not that noticeable?
