the color of your lower cladding is different on both pictures.
Which is the correct color?

It is grey. The sun is on it in one shot making it look tan. Or maybe it's just dirty

I don't really like white cars but the merc white/grey combo looks pretty good.

Are those clear corners OEM or copies btw?

You need a 155,000 mile high mileage badge from MB. It would look good on the grill and maybe add a euro license plate - front and back. I wish my State would offer that kind of plate like they offer conservation plates and such.

I like white W124s too. I had one a while back as a loaner car and I really fell in love with it. I'd love a white E500

I personally wouldn't do anything else but wheels

i generally don't post pix of a dirty car... my explorer maybe.

my clear corners and euro's are BOSCH. i think most copies are dung. [my opinion].

the tan looking picture was directly facing a late afternoon sun. i would hate the tan.

white/grey w blue leather is a decent combo. it is also my wife's favorite!

i have the paperwork to send in for the badge, just haven't done it yet.

here's another shot, a 'xenon' 6 watt t4w

when did they start making the cladding that was a solid piece like that? I have an 87 in white, and it just has a black rubber bump guard where the cladding would start, and then more white paint under it. This looks bad in my opinion, I wonder if I could fit my car with the one piece cladding if I managed to get some...

Have you considered tinting? I plan to tint my windows eventually, but I'm not sure if the white would look good with dark tints. Anyone on the forum have white w124 w/ dark tints and willing to post a pic?

chazola-now here's a clean car/truck

dirtysocks- do you like the tint on my ex?
if i tint the car, the wife says 'not very dark, do you understand'

i have a euro license plate random number stuttgart tag. the damn thing fits on the rear of my explorer.

i would mount a euro tag at car shows if i could get the euro rear filler piece. COME ON EURO MEMBERS, how about some parts help?
i think the front filler plate looks good.
