I always loved the coupe version....Well I found a practically MINT one at the junkyard the other week! Only thing was that it was off a 190E and the wood was very WIDE. Just shaved off the sides to trim it down to the w124 size and it worked wonderfully without any cracks! I was very pleased with the outcome.

Sooo much happier. It also compliments the shifter because its not a worn "brown" color. All I got left now is the main surrounding-shifter one. Its not too bad, but not perfect how I eventually want it. I got my car cover from EmpireCovers.com coming tomorrow so there is no reason why anything should ever fade in this wagon anymore. It should be mint condition for a long time. I'll do a review of the cover when I get it. It's supposed to be fitted and high quality. Paid $110 for it.

Defeinately looks nicer, but this would look even better

But that's where I keep my illegal weapons...

I don't like those open ones, they look like a cover is missing. PS, that's not a coupe ashtray, it's a certain year. My 90 300E has the same one.

ZedStyle

my 95 too

ps2cho

Fair enough....Well I like it much better than the handle crap

Same here on my 91 300e and my 92 500e.

I do remember the thread where someone said it was coupe specific though

I have one of those ash trays you could have had...

Pretty easy swap for older models...all you do is pop out the cig lighter and swap it out...

Anybody know anybody who does professional veneer restorations? I'd pay to get the main shifter console wood redone. It's just faded that's all...the wood itself is fine.
I tried it myself, but the clearcoat stage is incredibly difficult and without special tools I just can't get that "thick" look to it. It looks very thin.

Those flush ashtrays came on later 90+ sedans but I thought all coupes have Burl, not Zebrano.

Rik,

Where can I get the tray?

While your at it, you need a auto dimming rear view mirror (with Homelink and a compass also)

Must be a really small weapon

Maybe a GlockBox is what you need! Holds my PPK quite nicely.

My 93 Wagon, too.

Rik, would you be accepting "cores" for the rearview mirrors? As in, would you take my stock stalk/mirror combo back for part of the cost so you can have more donors or is that not something you're interested in?

That mirror looks damned handy, especially for when I'm doing rally.

Looks good!! I got that on my te.I likeit much better. Pm me will tell you how to get that deep gloss look. Got a friend who does custom bike and guitars.

CDP

Thanks buddy

2PHAST

Actually, I don't need any more cores, have about 15 or so in stock right now which are all in very good condition.

Considering you have a perfectly good mirror, you should consider selling it on Ebay or in the classifieds. My cores come from cars where the actual mirror was broken (but the stalk is not damaged), so I get them cheap.

I also have the auto dimming mirror available without the compass, have one of each in stock ready for shipping. If you bypass Ebay, its $150 shipped to US addresses.

CDP

Whaddup all!

Got my ashtray delete and rear view mirror with home link and compass in the mail today.

thanks again Rik!

rivcal4life

Hey man Ive been wanting to get one of those but Im not sure if Im too tall.

I wanna come look at yours!

CDP

dude you're only a 1" taller than me. haha

Come help me this weekend. and bro do you still have the armrest for me?

2PHAST

I changed the design of the mirror to address that problem, the ball actually sticks out further now allowing a wider range of adjustment. You will see that on Chris's mirror

rivcal4life

I still have the rolltop yes. Rik had posted that anyone 6' + should note that the height of the mirrors adjustability could be an issure.

2phast: I did not know it had been addressed. I will likely place an order after seeing Chris's.

2PHAST

Actually, don't think I told anyone, just removed that section from my Ebay auctions.

Really back ordered on the compass mirrors right now, so its going to be awhile before I could provide you with one. If you want a non-compass mirror, I have one of those in stock right now.

2phast do u makes these?
