Replying to: boomchek (Nov 03, 2008 9:58 am) I also notice the hood and trim don't line up to factory specs. The hood could simply not be closed properly...but I dunno about the rest. It's a freakshow.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 03, 2008 11:07 am) The 126 cars are so good looking in my eyes though. I was just out for a walk and saw a very clean 89-91 560SEL in a suitable dark blue. Still so handsome and well-proportioned after all these years.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 03, 2008 12:03 pm) If anything, maybe nice period style wheels would suit these cars (no 20+ inch chrome monsters). I also don't like the SEC grilles/hoods adopted to fit that period's E class sedans or coupes. They seem too wide and not a nice fit in my opinion.

...a poorly restored 1971 MGB, (had red-orange overspray on the tires) and a late 1980s Dodge Omni - kind of reminded me of my Mom's old car.

Replying to: lemko (Nov 03, 2008 1:10 pm) That is a bad paintjob when the TIRES get overspray. |

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 03, 2008 12:59 pm) I have seen those dumb SEC grilles all the way down to W201/190 series cars - and on everything up from there. I don't think they look right at all, especially on a sedan.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 03, 2008 1:28 pm) I also wasn't a big fan of any 80s MB with the stand up hood ornament rtemoved and replaced with a gigantic grille mounted one. Most looked out of place imo except on models that had it originally from the factory.
