[W126 Coupe] Wood Trim Patterns?

[Yousef nazzal]

Thanks everyone, mine has the Burl walnut and I've noticed very few other
SECs with similar trim but darker and less of a shine so I thought there
might be a third pattern. In this case i guess the trims aged and lost
their shine. Also, to be honest I like the Zebrano more. If i ever find the
correct match and condition I'd switch. Even on the W124'z Zebrano is
better in appearence out of all (in my eyes).. but in the end its a
question preference and taste.

Cheers
Yousef
