I reckon it looks good, particularly with the exhaust tailpipes. The new chrome is going to look spectacular.
Is that a portable sun device I see in the background?  ;)

What's next, fluros under the sills ;D   

Actually it looks pretty good, beats the dull yellow glow. 8) 
One thing I'd like to do is put something that bright in the reverse lamps.  My lenses are clear but I can't see where I'm reversing in the dark.  Just not bright enough.  Are they LED's you're using?

I'm not sure why you are advertising your rego to the regulators of law and order in such clarity. ::)

Tell me you've wired this up to the interior light switch so you can make a safe getaway.

In the early 1990's they were proposing to ban radar detectors and I wired up a small "passport"  detector to the interior light switch.

It taped up to the top of the 126 instrument nacelle inside with the instruments and I connected up an extra small speaker.

The top of a 126 instrument pod sits higher than the sight-line across the rear lip of the bonnet and in days pre-laser it gave perfectly adequate performance when picking up the K-band radar used before the multinovas and Lasers arrived and could be turned off if stopped by the constabulary using the rear interior light switch on the console.

The law never arrived but the detector sat in there for four years and worked quite adequately.

I nearly purchased one of those "sunbeam" Halogen lights but realising the temperature my shed gets to in summer I ended up with the other version of the same thing that has two large fluorescent type globes.

Much cooler on a hot summer night.

Cant install though, awaiting all the rubber pads, bolts, nuts and washers from germany.
Yes, it seems to take forever for parts to ship from Germany. Still no sign of my water pump bolts, washers and gaskets either.

Why did you order these from Germany - or was this a dealer decision ? You will get much better service if you order direct from Tom Hanson at the MB Classic Center in the US.
