Soft Top Code 737: Softtop 437 brown
« on: January 08, 2016, 04:45:34 »
My data card shows Soft Top Code 737, which is 437 brown.

Does anyone know where I can find the canvas of this color? And what shade of brown it is?
I looked up GAHH site and they do not have it.

I have a brand new beige canvas and am willing to trade if anyone has the 437 brown.
My car would indeed look odd with 'beige canvas on beige paint' color combo...

Igor,

Have you tried KHM 

 https://www.cabrio.de/khm/en/softtops-models-prices/mercedes-benz/230-250-280-sl-113/softtop-230-250-280-sl-113-including-tension-belts-original-material-detail

If you want to make sure they will send a sample.  Cost around 400 Euro plus ship.

They did not list the code I am looking for on their site.
I am curious if they have wider variety of colors but simply do not advertise?
As I do not have original canvas (current one is black), I would not know if it is close match.

Anyone has the same color soft top (437 brown, soft top code 737)? A picture maybe?
Thanks.

Igor,

I think you will find it is the dark brown that they have.  Their codes do not equate to the MB codes across the board.  I have used them twice and have had a good experience both times.  Ask them for a sample and then find someone that has the brown top and check it against it. There were a couple at PUB last year.

It does not sound correct; there are two browns:

737   Verdeckstoff 437 braun   Softtop 437 brown
746   Verdeckstoff 8023 dunkelbraun   Softtop 8023 dark brown

Dark brown (8023) is easy to find and easy recognizable.
I am after the other. I have not seen what this regular brown (437) is, just yet.

Anyone with this regular brown top who can share a picture?

Ca anyone with brown top (not dark brown) provide a daylight picture please?
I am not sure what the hue of brown it is.

Thanks in advance.
