I like the 220 SL badge.  Are you going to put a "diesel" badge on the right side of the trunk?

Thanks, but the diesel badge will look terrible on such a pristine trunk.  Don't want to do too much to deviate from the original, which I've already done under the skin.
But I can try some photo trickery to see how it looks with a diesel emblem below the 220SL(like the automatic) and on the other side of the trunk.
Thanks for the comments.

Great looking car.  What about "220SLD" as an alternative to SDL or SL?  For a laugh.
It's a great looking car!

Walt,
How did you get the 220SL emblem made? Is it adapted from a 220SE??

Hello Johnny,
The 220SL badge came from the appropriate 220 DIESEL trunk badge.  
I will make a separate 220SLD insignia at a later time.  But I think that's a later issue to deal with at the moment.  First want to change out the flex disc and get the wiper washer motor wires routed in on top of the carpet installation.
THanks,
