Not a big deal, and totally irrelevant, but what the hell figured I’d post anyway…just realized that this strip is black on pano cars and body color on non-pano-cars…I for one, really like the aggressive look the pano-roof gives our beloved w211’s (although my 5-year old is more into the function…loves his rear sunroof)

Hmm... I'm not too sure

Hi chenry


I DON'T have the Pano roof, yet the area you indicate is black on my car too. Maybe there is another variable at play other than the Pano???

Thats interesting heres another picture I grabbed of a w211 without pano and you can clearly see that the strip is body colored as opposed to black...interesting that your non-pano car has this strip as black

no car yet
Dads cars

black - E220 CDI T
black - C180 T (Mom)
black - SLK230 Kompressor (just for summer)

But based on your signature, your dad's car is black so of course the strip is going to be black?

^^^ I know I just checked some internet sites and I saw
that cars without pano have the strip in carcolor and with pano
its black. So our Scottish friend seem to have a special car.

Post some pics of your car fastbuck
