Re: [MBZ] Pimp my W-126 Take 2
Ah Hah!
Knew there was supposed to be more! Thought filters had Seek and
Destroy orders on all Pimping! All is forgiven, except my behavior. I
don't think that has ever been forgiven.

Now he wants to put one of those pimp grill with the M/B star on it.
I've tried to reason with him, he's single and desperate.
Nice fellow, I'd like to help him, anybody have a source for these? I
tried Rusty and was relieved to find that even he hasn't sunk that low
yet ;-)

Everything has been as described and sometimes better. I've bought used stuff maybe 10 times, including two sets of Euro headlamps, zebrano pieces and accessories (granted it's hard to lie about new parts except for fitment). The headlamps were used but could almost pass for new. Now one thing I will say is that the Germans can't take pictures. Period. Same if you go to the Mercedes club sites from Germany. Their eBay photos tend to be hall of shame entries. So I limit my bids on most things to a hope for the best but expect the worst level. Don't even think of making me go to eBay.fr, dude. I won't deal with any private French vendors. I got ripped twice there. Truly a case of YMMV, I guess. Mac

The headlamps were used but could almost pass for new. I bought two *new* headlamps on ebay.de and they came broken. Most likely a shipping problem, but both? Broken the same way? And I've bought used lamps on ebay and *they* came broken too. On the MBs, the inner tabs were both broken...on the Audi lamps, tabs were broken *and* the reflector assembly inside had come adrift. Either they sell crap, or they lie, or they can't pack. Or maybe all three! Lee
