W124 soft top

[Deleted member 11979]

I'm needing to replace the soft top on my tourmaline green a124

Question is what colour?

I have the choice of black, brown or green

Can anyone post up photos of the green or brown hoods on a tourmaline car? I've used google images but drawn a blank

Many thanks in advance

I would offer you want a depth of colour contrast. Dark green car body = light shade of hood . On that premise I would advise a light green or a light brown [ sort of beige/caramel] Black is a no-no.

Similar to the trim /seats on this car??

whereas this doesn't work imho

I like the idea of brown as per the Porsche, but am keen to see it on a w124, I agree ref black, it's a bit boring but don't want to spoil the look of the car with a garish colour scheme

Brown for me, but it depends on the upholstery colour. Green is a definite no-no. The green hoods I've seen have all been on 107's and they're horrible.

I think these guys were OEM for Benz at one time.

OR wonder if you could get away with a reddish brown?

Seems jolly reasonable, especially for an outfit with their reputation. Do they offer any different colours or shades?
