stickers early 230SL
« on: September 05, 2012, 21:56:43 »
I have a snowflake decal on the upper corner of the left side of the windshield of my car.  No other sticker.  Can anyone point me to a "what sticker where" thread so I know which ones go where on what year car?  For example, I have the white "A Daimler-Benz product" sticker in my inventory, but I don't want to stick on the windshield if incorrect.

I have several in the engine bay, a couple (including a metallized blue one) in the luggage compartment, and I am at the point where I want to make the car as correct as possible, thanks for the expertise.

Be advised, not all the stickers sold as a package belong on the pagoda. For example the one that you reference with the signature does not. AFAIK the only correct sticker on the windshield is the snow flake which shows the car got anti-freeze in the coolant (depending on delivery destination).

An issue of the MBNA magazine The Star, within the last year, had an article on sticker placement in the Pagoda. you may be able to find it in an index of The Star arcticles and buy that issue even if you are not an MBNA member.

I'm sure others will jump in with more info.

Well actually, I suspect it actually depends which country the car was delivered to  as I have seen stickers on USA cars that are known original that I have not seen on Euro cars that I also know are original and vis versa, one being a running in sticker.  It may have been the dealers putting some on as well.

as i have a set of stickers lying around for years, not knowing the proper place where exactly to put them, this thread certainly is of interest to me, anyone??
