This wasn't my favorite color when I got my 116 (684 pastel beige)....but it has really grown on me over the last few months...I think the chrome hub caps really make a difference....for the better

Hellelfenbein



I've always thought that 623, Hellelfenbein (light Ivory) was a good color for 123's. Rather pedestrian but when cleaned up decently ads depth to the shape that pure white does not.

Thanks MBeige for these great pictures. My pc crashed a while ago and I lost all my good ones except these.


Not sure but I think its "diamond" blue. Like petrol blue this color is very deep and glossy. It changes at dusk to a deep blue
I cannot take credit for all the images, just these two. My friend Pao has the wide angle lens and flash, seen in the other two images. He takes the credit for those.

I can tell from your smile, you really love that car.

Light ivory wasn't my first choice for my own car, but it's starting to grow on me. The wacky '70s colors are pretty great too.

Pastel Grey is boring? I don't know, I'm kinda partial to it..

I am a big fan of Manganese / Milan brown; works well with the chrome and can make endless poop jokes.



Of course, you can't go wrong with Surfblau...
