I already have them on hand and will install them after the smartTop module. The seals on the ones I had on the 280 slightly failed and some dirt had gotten into them, so I left them on the 280 and bought a new set for the 350.

Superb machine! Congratulations!

That is one fine looking car...Congratulations. Simply wonderful

Looks great! Love the interior, exterior looks nice in white. The wheels are a great improvement, I could live with those factory wheels without going aftermarket. Enjoy...

Don't forget to plug them holes with aluminum foil.

I've cleaned the clear side markers at its edges using the ultra-small brushes found at the dental hygiene department. I don't remember the clear side markers having any sort of soft seal around the edges, they were mainly flat and mounts flush against the bumper cover.

Congratulations and I must say your taste is terrific if you ordered white over red, the colour makes the car highly desirable and a future classic. I love it, enjoy it in the best of health and thank you for sharing.

...anyone else traditionally throw in loose pocket change to christen new cars? I don't know where this originated but have seen and have done for years. I guess with inflation we should be throwing in dollars

Totally agree!!

I like the white! I've only seen 1 white SLK here and it was a 170.

Still trying to get used to the Blade III front dam though. It'll come.
