[W126 Coupe] New to the list

[Michał Wołosiak]

Hi, Alex
Thanks for welcome :-)

The problem with photos is, that they extremely set off different color of rear left quarterpanel, while in reality, the difference in colors is virtually unable to be recognized.
And - as you noticed - the Pearl Gray is not as dark as seen on those pics. In fact, the last one is the most accurate.

The wheels are 18s installed by previous German owner. I'll probably want to switch to 17", and more "solid" design. 

I'm going to register on benzworld.org, too.

Best regards,
Michal Wolosiak

  Hi Michal,

  Welcome to the forum.

  Great car and no need to make any excuses for the photos, you have captured 
  the car from its best angles.

  I like the color, although on my monitor it looks more blueish than what I 
  thought Pearl Grey would look like. In any case, it is a very rare color on 
  this side of the Atlantic.

  I like your wheels, but with the calipers that exposed I'd be tempted to 
  tart them up with some paint (silver?, high-gloss black?, red?).

  You may also want to check out benzworld.org where you can post pictures of 
  your car and search for solutions to problems you may run into.



  Regards,
