Yep, standard cars only this month. Obviously cars with period MB wheels added are ok. I'l have a chat with the powers that be over clear indicators, but to be honest, they are not a standard item and were never fitted by MB.

Member Posts: 996 Group: Members Member #2,447 Joined: March 23, 2008	I'm not sure my entry is allowed - my 2.6 is modified and no longer factory standard But........ the picture was taken when I bought it and at that time it was standard (except for the grill sprayed black) Does this count? Please let me know. Stu

Please let me know. Stu In the absence of any clarification from the mods I would hazard a guess that all our cars were once standard so if we all submitted old piccies any non valver would be valid; which is probably not what was intended. Perhaps a mod would like to clarify. I would guess standard exterior as delivered apart from minor period changes Edited by aemt, Tue Nov 3, 2009 5:44 pm.

That dont mean other cars are not worthy though. This gives a fair go for some of the superb non modded cars we have to take pride of 190 OTM. And there are some fantastic examples too.

I think we all know how the cars looked from the factory, so no clear indicators, etc etc.

Steve Posts: 7,489 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: November 1, 2005	as above we dont have to point out the obvious painting the grill is not really seen as moddified but bigger non 190 wheels in diameter is clears are still moddified although we could maybe turn a blind eye (need to ask Matt as well though ) we all have had eleven months of the year to sumbit our cars lets not turn this one event in to bitching contest Steve

Member Posts: 996 Group: Members Member #2,447 Joined: March 23, 2008	Mods - as it sits on my drive, my 2.6 currently has SLK alloys and sportline springs with more bits hoping to be added, so I think my pre-mods picture entry should be removed (it was submitted before the 'standard car' edit was added). I'm like Louis Walsh when it comes to the rules being obeyed! ( X factor joke for my wife ). I would submit the 2 litre instead but the one and only thing the wife really wanted on the white car was........... clear lenses!!! Next month " I'll be back!". Arnie

I dont think we will ever narrow it down that far, I think un modded and everything is spot on really, as i am sure you have worked out clear lenses are classified as a mod so you can enter your car the other eleven months of the year
