You don't need photoshop mate, there are pics of white 114 coupes all over the net! There is also this site that has the various models in all sorts of colours - W114 Coupe /8
Interesting though - I have a 111 coupe with exactly the same colour scheme as your car has now, and someone had painted the roof papyrus (717 from memory) to match the body. Yet everyone I talk to says how they love factory 2-tone cars. I was going to do the blue in a metallic though instead of solid colour to give it a bit more bling.
Cheers, Drew

Sorry Kurt, I thought your car was white but in the shade. Still pretty classic though. I think you need to find a pic in the sun to really pic the contrast between the light blue and a white roof. the shade makes it all too subtle.

Actually in the sun it gets lighter (even more white). Subtle is what I'm after. Currently there is a lot of contrast.
