That last pic is sick!
I was actually thinking about painting the inside housing of my lights but never knew how it would look.

Did you just paint the grey plastic or did you tint the reflector too?

The seams are just jumping at me. They seem a little dark. Was the car painted?

Or am I just not used to seeing a red 124

There's a first gear start switch unit on ebay currently... Maybe that should be added to the to do list - it's a good mod on the e500e. Item number: 180335267931
