Color Change

79 ---

Are you seriously considering a color change? If so, you might wish to look up "Chameleon" on this forum.

I'm fine with lowering as long as the owner cares for the vehicle -- the color is stunning! My favorite color combinations are (exterior/interior): red/tan, black/red, red/black and red/red.

I love the W115 chassis. Classic MB car! I'm also digging the red on brown Ducaud posted. Sweet ride, bro. 79Mercy also got a nice ride. Take care of her, man.
