I'd leave the spotties... And even get 'selective yellow' lenses :)

I'm replacing the spotties with either more period specific ones (these look too 80's?) or old school stone guards more than likely. (ill find a picture if you want)

 

Heres a quick couple snaps with the walls, the car is very dirty in the pictures as its been raining.

Lookin good mate, those tail lights, do it... ETA on bags and it laying frame? Panel should be back on the road tuesday, 14s and all ;)

Just need to find me some tail lights, the earlier flat ones are alot nicer than mine.

 

As far as bags go it might take 3 or 4 months to get everything and work out how I'm going to install everything. Not an easy job and damn expensive too.

Mate, reckon I got some early tails with my box of spares from the original owner of mine.

I dig the later 'dust proof' style personally. Will check.

Dust proof? I don't get it? I much prefer the flat ones, later ones remind me of less cool merc's.

 

Fantastic if you have them we will work something out with the spots perhaps.

He he. Yeah, the traditional ribbed Benz tail lights were designed so that due to the aerodynamics, dirt and dust will not settle on the lens.

 

I will dig though the box and we'll sort something out.

 

Check out 2.29 of this vid re tail lights.
