To be honest at first I had no idea which movie you were referencing....Then I remembered some nonsense about the difficulty in stealing a W220 because it had "Laser cut keys".....Stupid Hollywood.

I really like the Fulcrum.

I'm replacing the factory interior of my '86 with that of a '91.

Now that's a worthwhile project! Will the new interior be a different color from the old one?

The same. It's palamino. I bought a carpet set from World Upholstery that is a shade darker though.

Perfect (otherwise the roof lining could look off)

If I remember correctly, clear corners would be correct for France.

clear corners... thought those were never stock in any form. Just the amber corners.


Sure Fulcrum may have a lower production number but.. but in terms of "correctness" my car wins hands down. All I need are the lame 15 hole wheels and put my us spec lights back on and its original.

Different in different parts of Europe. I've ordered clear Euro Bosch corners, my Father's car (he bought new in France) also had clear corners.

I'll give you 500 for your "parts car"

Both of those cars are uber sweet and make me hate mine even more! Where does one get those wipers? I have euro wipers, but they are missing pieces, so they dont look near as nice as those.
