RE: i want a S500

Here's a revised dash with my very own AssUgly™ Reduction Technology© It's still crooked, but it's better to my eye.

I like the blue, but I'd rather it be in a w210

That does look sharp.... now I'm thinking, hmm I'd like a 140



Glad to hear that. It is nice to see you around the W140 forum Marsden. This W140 is the kind all of us want to own. This one looks amazing. :)


So thats what my car would look like in black? Man thats sharp, I just hope I can find a way to fit my wood and leather wheel I got.


Wood/Leather Steering Wheel? Are you serious? How much did you spend?


$120 NZ including postage I think thats with the airbag too.

Christ almighty... mine was $900 and they re-used the airbag from the old wheel.

Of course, I paid up through the dealer

Only problem is that they changed the wheel mounting between the early early W140 (1991-1992) and mine starting in 1993, as a result the way the wheel connects to the car is slightly different, I want to see what my mechanic can do with it before I get rid of it though. But we'll see how it all works out.

RE: i want a S500

LOL, you guys make a convincing argument. In the ownership of all of the W140's I've ever had, not once have I ever put a glove in the glove box.

Yea all the engine bay and interior door jams were done too must have cost a bunch, they have pretty much taken the car apart and put it back together, did a good job no interior rattles.
