Not talking about "high line" collectibles. just ordinary 124 and 126
I never thought silver looked good on a 123. Midnight blue and
maroon are probably my favorite colors for 123s.
My high line car broker buddy always told me that the combination of
silver and maroon took 20% off the value of a car.
Not being critical, just making the observation.... I could live
with it myself.

My 87 300D has burgundy leather inside Smoke silver. It is a good
combination. (But I'd prefer tex)
I have the same problems. Someone was selling the MB reinforcment
foam bits for these on benzworld I think. $40 per side IIRC. The
problem with my seats is that the scalloping on the sides is
broken, I have to replace the whole chair. At the same time the
tex is worn in one place. If there is anything I have learned,
rare int colors, like burgundy or high quartz should be avoided in
a purchase. Beige may be dull but they are a dime a dozen at the
yard. I would love leather seats but never seen burdgundy...

Hey gang, how hard is it to R&R the spring box in an early 124 front
seat, once I have the seat out of the car?
Is it enough of a pain that I am better off trying the pool-noodle
fix? How does that work exactly---you wedge the noodles between the
top and bottom layers of the spring box, or just between the seat and
the carpet? (I'm looking at the bottom side of the rear base cushion
and imagining that the fronts probably are constructed more or less
the same, where the springs are not coils as in an old-fashioned
mattress but look more like a network or webbing of spring steel
parallel to the seat base.)
Thoughts?
