I saw SD and thought W126. In any event sometimes you can add WDB to your pre -80 VIN and get it to work.

I think that only works best if your car is a 1980 model built in 1979, though I've seen it work for older models occasionally.

I'm curious to know the answer to this question....I think I have the exact same exterior/interior color combo on my '80 116. I can't pull my VIN or find any color info either.

GAH is probably the only place you can probably get the proper cloth and velour.

its going to be very expensive either way

Ahh yes...that does work.

If my interior is the same as the original poster...which it appears to be...it is called saffron 104...exterior is pastel beige.

Cool...thanks!

The clear piping with the gold cord inside of it looked awesome, but it wasn't easy ton find in 1995.....probably harder now...
