Thank you.

More pics to come tomorrow.

But to answer you questions, most of the installations I did my self. My friend did the refinish of the trim, my other friend did the apholstery, and my other friend pretty much did the trunk and the screen bezel. I did the rest.

I almost forgot, the stereo, another friend.

Sure thing.

The trunk.
We shaved that black plastic strip to be flush with the trunk and attached the euro plastic license plate piece to it. Glued, bondoed, epoxied, and puttied all togather, sanded down and primered. So it ataches the same way as before with the exceptions of the 2 very outer screws (1 left and 1 right). That's about it.

Thanks.

I would think it's just a normal, generic hazard sign for when you experience problems on the motor way. The sort of thing like a traffic cone, not hard to find. Unless Merc's version is a "special size" with uber platniarchosuperreflectiveinium glazing that's made of superdurableunbreakableplasticinium...

Thank you.

You are correct it was VERY hard to find, and even harder to purchase. US version is a bit cheesy IMO. The Euro triangle I got from UK ebay. I was bidding on 8 or 9, of which 6 canceled my bid because they didn't want to ship to US, the other 1-2 couldn't figure out the shipping after I won. So I got very lucky because the one that did get to US happened to be the W124 triangle. It's different from all other models because the trunk on the Cabri is so much shorter that it had to be foldable. There is a clip that you want to get as well that nearly imposible to find. We are still working on the custom mount with the clip over the carpet inner cover. Will post picks very soon.
So if you want one, try ebay.co.uk, worked for me.

Well done, that looks very good, but where are the centre console buttons?, surely you need them.

Just get some rims for the car too!.
