He means.........

He means that we need a "Post a picture of your car" thread here on diesel discussion.

I would post, but my computer is down and I don't have access to my image editor..

I thought about bidding on those lights on eBay, but I didn't, but I'm glad to see they went to a MS member. I did however get myself some Euro amber turn signal lenses, they're part of my "front end upgrade", which at this rate should be complete around 2006-07 if everything moves at the pace it is now in terms of repairs, it'll include painting the grille insert black and Euro lights with the proper vacuum switch and all appropriate tubes and functioning city lights.

I'm doing something similar, with the exception of painting the grille. I went with the clear corners as they were cheap in comparison to the standard stuff. Once I got them on, I found that I actually liked them better. I think they'll look good when I get the car painted. It'll be painted the same color as Old Navy's 240D. I saw his car in person, and it was the single most stunning example of a W123 Benz I've ever seen. I may also replace the fugly US bumpers if I happen across a set of Euro bumpers for the right price. I did get caught off guard on the connectors. I had assumed that the plugs would be the same, with the exception of relocating the wires to the correct positions in the plug. I have connectors on the way for the headlights, but also need a set for those markers.

Mine is a 99 E300 but she is shy about showing off her body to strangers and perverts like you who want to get a free look and possibly cop a feel. She is black. Looks stock everywhere except the air filter and the SpeedtuningUSA reprogrammed ECM.
