Too bad You already painted the door panels. I just got panels (smooth ones) from 91 300 SE and they look so much better than 81-85. Just make the car look way younger and refreshed

Will post pictures when I paint them silver

No No No! I always like it to look as original as possible.

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.

The smooth ones will be easier to paint.

Finally I have Euro Lights!!! It took me two sets; in shipping the first set suffered internal damage to the passenger light reflector mount and the second set received a shattered lens, but at least I now have a complete set. Sorry, no daylight pictures, it was dusk before I got everything installed and the car washed. I am using amber H3 bulbs in the fog lights, much easier than finding French lights.

Hard to believe how big impact they have on the look of the car. Totally different car now, looks great

Ya, euro headlamps really transform the look of a car.

very nice work. i'd consider blacking out the grill minus the chrome. i do like the look of blacked out monoblock style rims on these cars as well, minus the outer rim, but your wheels are great as is. and that might be going too far.

The Left one and right lens came from a set I got on ebay that arrived with shipping damage to the right body. The right body came from a set I got from member Icefire which arrived with damage to the left light. Don't ever ship these lights with USPS. This is the 4th set they have damaged for me.

I still have a bit of work to do, one set of lights had the vacuum adjust, the other did not so right now I have one of each in the car. I need to decide if I want to add the vacuum adjust feature and retrofit the mount into one of the lights. I also am going to paint the internal surrounds silver because the grey plastic is turning a bit brown.


I hope to find a new grille at the junkyard today to paint black.

You sure you have those wired up properly? It looks like you have one low beam and one high beam
