Smile Well it was FREE

Free is good and this is of the few free things that I have received from MB -- but it's cool and I believe it makes the car run better! My new Mileage Badge.

Cool Yes would be great

Euro headlights would be great but the price needs to come down a bit......The least expensive I could find were $159 a side.

PJG56

The link below will tell you how to get one -- they must have changed the colors as the 250K award was originally blue and the one MB sent me is solid gold - the screws were like extremely long - thought they would go through radiator so I trimmed them.

That would be a good sales tool for MB.
BADGE

Someone is selling a set of Depo(?) headlights inthe parts forum for $250 shipped. Seem to be of decent quality from what's been posted about them.

And get that hood aligned

Caught

I was wondering when someone was going to catch the hood - should have known sixto - the passenger side catch doesn't want to catch sometimes - it's one of my $#^ problems.

I put my 250km award in the same place as you, except mine's right on the horizontal middle bar. And, believe it or not, I didn't have a problem with the screws being too long. I thought the same thing, but decided to give it a try as-is, and it's been working perfectly.

OTOH, this is a 123...maybe they're set up differently on the 126?

mine is two up and close to the center (funny, it's on the driver's side too). Screws appeared long on 201 but no interference

I just thought they sent me the UNIMOG 250K award by mistake.
