1097201651 Blue According to the part number on the bag, this is a left front door cap from a LWB car. I am skeptical of the part number as I see no reason that a door cap for a front door would have a 109 part number instead of a 108 part number. Good used condition.
1117201551 one brown, one blue. Fintail sedan left front door cap. Good used, possibly new.
1087202551 black 108 sedan left front door cap, probably new.
I don't think you can dye anything to "Cognac" as it is really 2 colors to my eye. Other more solid colors I think you can dye.

Thanks for checking Scooter.
I don't have my W108 right now (at the mechanics getting the injectors cleaned, tested and rubber parts replaced) to give you a length on the rear door cap.
I asked Tom Hanson the same question on the mbca forums. He said cognac is pretty hard if not impossible to get right when dyeing to match. I have found a set of door caps from the UK, but have not contacted the seller to see if they are still for sale. Problem is that they are not cognac but they are in very good condition.
