I've had this car for 4 years, father had it for over 7 - it's covered 125,000 miles.
Paint - 568 Signalrot, original Single-tone colour-coded from factory.
Engine - M102 1.8-litre 8-valve with Bosch KE-Jetronic FI & Automatic transmission.
Interior - Black Cloth, Black carpets.
Wheels - Mercedes-Benz 1294000102 R129 500SL / W201 Evolution 16x8J 15-holes. The car was originally supplied with 15x6.5J 8-holes.

The grille insert has been satin black for quite some time, and last summer I painted and fitted a 'Brabus'-type colour-coded grille frame & strips. It's gone back to standard chrome for now, but it was kinda fun!
Other than Model Designation Delete on the bootlid, that's about it for Modifications.

Repainted my AirBox lid recently too:

The interior is standard but for a Sony head-unit that I don't really like.
It glows red to match the heater illumination, but apart from that it's butt-ugly like 90% of the new HUs on the market.
Can't really justify a Becker yet!

I now have a full set of original MB black overmats that fully conceal the immaculate carpets beneath, but the pic below shows an old Halfords item!

When i bought it from my Dad, it looked like this:

Blackening the grille insert with Krylon Fusion paint made quite a difference, visually:
