I am still in search for a replacement carpet for my '92 500E.
Carpet part number 124.680.36.41 (main rear center section) Color code 8424 - cream/champagne/parchment/beige - not really sure of the name!
Mercedes Dealer can't get it, MB europe does not stock it anymore. They have dark grey/black and a lighter cream (color 8F32). I believe this color was the color to supersede 8424 in the 94 model year as the 8424 was only listed as 92-93.
I have a complete set of carpet in 8424 except the above piece.

My options at this point are:
1. Keep the old carpet - ratty but still ok (6/10)
2. Buy the piece in 8F32 and dye it to match 8424.
3. Swap all current 8424 pieces with 8F32 pieces.

I am not sure I want to convert all my carpet to the new color or just buy that one unavailable piece and try to dye it.
I am concerned the mbtex and leather will not match well as it has a bit of a green tint to the cream color (vs. yellow in 8F32)
and the 8F32 color will seem a bit stark or make the door panels seem dark / greenish.

Can any of you owners with cream interiors confirm the color codes?
Anybody have any ideas about where I might find the correct color piece sitting in a dealer warehouse somewhere?

Thanks for any input.
