My '85 300D has a whole new personality now...
...thanks to those here on the forum who came up with a full set of mismatched hubcaps. I actually really like it, it "goes" with the terrible faded 10 yr old Maaco paint.

I like the right side better. A more artistic palette
 .I dunno, I think your car looks great. Have you considered just getting the hood and trunk shot? EDIT: Check that last comment. I looked more closely at the pics, particularly the driver side. They didn't put much paint on the car from the looks of it, on that respray.

Looks to me like the rears match each other... why don't you put them both on one side ?
Not many people can see both sides of the car at the same time to compare....

Nice to see a car not covered in snow and is that some type of wind surfer on top. Really rubbing it in if it is!

That, in fact, is a full original exhaust system from a rust free junkyard car. I pulled it to replace the aftermarket exhaust that seems to resonate annoyingly on the car pictured.

Actually none of them match.
Front left - blue/green Front right - pastel blue Rear left - black Rear right - maroon? actually kind of matches the respray color This car will (eventually) get painted back to its original color 199 Black Pearl aka Blue Black. It's a truly 100% rust free body and deserves a proper paint job, when the time comes. I also have a set of four never-been-painted hub caps that will get painted to match the body. In the meantime, I'm having some fun with it

Well, my '79 is black, with black MB-tex. And non-functioning A/C.
So it's all relative

I like the look. It's like the car has been through a post-nuclear era already

199 is a nice color on a W123! Modern yet classic at the same time.
