nice to see the correct taillights remain. the front-passenger turn signal appears to be US-spec. the "280SE" emblem is an older style and not correct for the W126, also looks a little low.
for what is described as a high-quality repaint, it does not look like they got the color right. in many of these photos it looks far too grey. if done correctly, the color of the car would look like the color of the wheels. looks like a really nice car otherwise, and I love the rear headrests, but the paint job would bug me. I say this as someone with a W123 in champagne that's a repaint, and my job wasn't perfect either. in my case it's a bit lighter in color; here it looks to have gone the other way.
