white dials

[orso]

Hi, have recently bought my first MB: a W124 cabrio sportline E200 1995 with 125,000 KM. The car is in mint conditions and I am over the moon with it:bannana: . Just one doubt though: it has white dials. I don't like them much and was considering changing them back to black ones. Have two questions for the Forum: did the sport line E200 come with white dials or was there a factory otpion? What should I do to change them with black ones?

Thanks much for your help guys.

Ciao.

I think they all came with black dials , the white ones will probably be aftermarket , curious about the car though ....

I didn't know that they ever made an E200 coupe , as far as i know ,the smallest variant they did was the E220 ....

Is it a UK model or an import ?

They did an E200 saloon ....

It's Italian (as I am) and I keep it in Italy where I still have a place. It is a convertible 1995 E200 Sportline (with sport line badges on the doors, gear change lever, suspensions etc but those white dials... I don't know but it would seem silly to me fitting sporty aftermarket dials on such a classic car). Don't think they have imported this model in UK.

Ciao.

It is so easy getting confused with the specifications regarding any Mercedes-Benz. In my experience what is a standard feature in one country is not even offered in another.

I have even discovered that some Mercedes-Benz come with the steering wheel on the wrong side!

I was no fan of white dials but I must confess they have grown on me Not literally you understand, but aesthetically (just swallowed a dikshunarie)

Amazing when you go to Europe and see the models that never made it to the UK RHD market

The UK have missed out on loads of models and that applies to all German makes.

It is also amazing how many Mercedes models we have that do not make it onto the forecourts of other markets!
