Is that the color that you used on your headlight trim panels?

You need a set of headlight wipers to make it look complete.

Thanks
David

I just emailed carson356 to acquire the remainin parts..............

My local MB Dealer does not want to get in volved in 'Grey Market' parts - even if paid in full in advance.

PS - The picture does not do the grill justice - It looks great - especially from a distance............... One of the best '1 hour' projects I have performed - mucho satisfaction.............

Oh, I just now noticed that. Do you happen to have a before picture to compare? I've thought about doing this but wasn't 100% sure yet.

Thanks

I think I'm going to try that maybe this weekend? We'll have to see on that one. BTW, is your car 199 pearl black?

Thanks
David

To the best of my knowledge - Yes..............

It is a Metallic Black - I think referred to as Pearl.............

I have not memorized the Paint Number................

Interior is Burgundy

I have the same color on my car. Interesting because I know of another member here who lives 45 minutes from me and his parts SDL is pearl black. Must have been a pretty popular color for the SDL purchasers. I have to say though, I wish mine was gloss black. That color looks great on any MB. Always a classic.

Thanks
David

Although the Gloss Black is very nice looking - I have come to appreciate the metallic black - The 1994 Saab Commemorative Ediition next to it - now sold - was one of 500 made and was in Metallic Black - only year of that color for the drop tops..........

Nice! I think this weekend I will give that a try. I have been going back and forth about whether I want my grill painted. But I think I will give it a try.

Next I need a set of Euro lights!

You and I have chatted about this briefly.........

I took the plunge....... Only because I talked with someone at the hardware store and he pointed me in the direction of the Krylon Fusion.

FYI - Even my wife thinks it looks much better - Go Figure!!!!!!!

If you are not happy - I WILL REFUND THE COST OF THE PAINT!!!!!!!!

What are friends for???????????????

Black grills do look good. I have one of those carbon fiber SEC style grills sitting in my basement. If it didn't have that huge star in the center I would use it.

How much is the paint $5? It will probably be the cheapist thing I have done to this car!

I love your clear corners btw, where did you get them? They are far nicer then mine.

I think this Christmas Santa may bring me some Bosch Euro's if I'm good.

Those are 'Smoked' corner lights off of ebay..............

I did ask a few of the other buyers if they were happy with their purchase and all came back with a positive answer................

I'll try and find the seller - they were out of Canada. Search on smoked w126

I also used the 'Silverstar' bulbs to get rid of the 'Scambled Eggs' efect.

I just need to finish the Wiper issue - I have PM'd carson356......... My local MB dealer does not want to order the parts for me.
