sounds cool! There is a type of wax for paint that can be had with color added which when applied will fill scratches. there may be such a product for plastic. Also may be possible to sand and paint.

If you are thinking at this level the car must be pretty sweet!

Did 678 miles and used 21.1 gallons for an average of 32.1 MPG but that was 70+ MPH with the AC full blast.

I noticed this car has a strong engine with a lot of pep and 32 mpg at high speed is not bad.

Did some stretches at 80 so am not surprised at lower fuel economy. When I kept my other 240D MT at 60- mph the MPG was higher.

This car was made when the max speed was still 55, so it was geared toward that.

Has a great radio and stereo, and has one spot of paint oxidation to clean up.

Later today, am getting window tint and a reflectors for the frt windshield to keep the dash as nice as I can.

Even the olive green paint on the wheel covers is good.

Photos soon.
