yeah I do not celebrate Easter, it was fun when I was little but over the years it only gets boring
Then it's more fun to fix the car
Oh it sounded not good, hope you fix it!
Of course pictures will come as soon paint gone on
Color on, he had to come out into the sunlight and cuddle when it is still so, so nice weather

Yes you're right
but the rims will be painted, thinking about how they look black with a red stripe along the edge or a chrome stripe along the edge
I would prefer wheels in matt black paint.
I would prefer wheels in matt black paint.
It can be nicely
But the wheels look so small when they are only black so you would have something that switches the black rim of the black tire
I would prefere black rims with red stripes. Its more old school and will be perfect in your car.

Yeah exactly and then I had planned get old BP stickers
It's classic brands and it would probably fit perfectly on W115
Oh yes!!! That's a great idea. Would be fine!
Time to paint the rims

How you painted the rims? While painting the rims, you lay them on the bottom or used you something to rotate them?
The rest of your work lokks also very good!!

It sounds good, what will become of your color on the rims?
I put my rims on a couple of others and so I went around when I paint them
Oh, for this you got a great result!!!
I prefere silver on my rims, because my 260E is in original shape. But the rims are very dirty and scratched so I want to paint them.
I like the red border of you rims, so perhaps I´ll do something like this, but I´m not sure!?

Thank you very much
Do you have any picture of your 260E?
My silvery w124 will be shiny metallic black this summer and then I also be painted her 17 inch wheels black with red stripe.
I love black mercedes w124, w123 and w115.
I have 1 black w124 300E but I gave it to my boyfriend when he had birthday because I could not think of what he would get.
But if you show a picture of your w124 so I can make the rims black with red in photoshop if you want?
Actually I have no piczure from my 260E with the rims.. But if you want to have look on my car, please have a look on my site: http://w124-260e-hk.jimdo.com/
But thanks for your proposual!!
Okay I'll look there.
No problem
