Finally an answer to correct air cleaner color -- light or dark gray. Apparently both. 
Thanks, i'm just outside of Johannesburg on Hartebeespoort dam. Really happy with my CS, never would have thought I'll have a beige car, but the sahara color is probably something only an e9 can pull off, and it does it well...
No such luck... But thank you. I see anchor points on the rear sides below the armrests, but nothing in the middle. I suppose it came with front front lap belts only? I'll contact BlueDevil, thanks guys
I had quite a few ideas of improvements prior to purchase and in anticipation of taking delivery, but now I'd like to keep her as close to original as possible. I've been reading this forum for the past month as my pre and mostly past bedtime pass time. A wealth of knowledge!
Can anyone give me some advice on where to get headlight covers (missing in action) and the rear windscreen heater switch (only the base survived)? Seems to be NLA...
I also need to replace a lot of rubbers, where is the best place to buy from, considering that I'm in Africa with a very weak currency I see World Upholstery also sell rubbers, are they cheaper than W&A?

Headlight covers.... hard to find an original steel pair. Current choices are Alloy ones from Jaymic in the UK (least expensive) You will also need a set of rubber seals/ gaskets for under the covers and the correct screws both available from W/N.
Screw (white) for headlight cover you need 6 for 1 car

Seal for headlightcover lin the front eft fits for all models and years of manufacturing you need 1 for 1 car

Jaymic also have an assortment of rubber seals, all depending on what you need. Take a look and compare to W/N.

The rear glass heater button (3 or 4 prong?) can be relatively easily found, for ex, EBay.de (E9 Schalter) you need the ‘yellow‘ head one

Anybody know a source of one of these?
I'll be able to paint it to the correct colour. Nasty hole in the driver's doorcard that I've been reminder about once too many in my one weeks ownership...

That’s a tricky one, all depending on what all the seals/ gaskets etc you are looking for to replace. There are a few different vendors (I’m speaking primarily about Germany) but it might come down to bundling the majority of parts from one source, for ex, W/N from whom you’ll get the non EU prices and a decent shipment price if you order is large enough. And they are great guys to communicate with, email them with your needs etc. And they have sales every so often.

Thanks again, Keshav! From what i've read on the forum the W/N rubbers seem to be the closest to original?

Their parts are generally good but they don’t have everything and are not the cheapest out there either. But being able to order at one shop will have monetary and other advantages, but that’s something you’ll have to grow some grey hair figuring out the do‘s and dont‘s, all very much a part of the severe infection/ addiction we all have here. They are also good guys to deal with in case of problems, exchanges etc.
Also be sure to take advantage of their periodic sales......

Wow, thank you. I tried to buy them, but sale didn't go through due to my address, my german understanding is also probably not the best (even with a german "Oma"). I don't want to be a bother, I mailed the seller, if i don't get any joy i'll PM you. Once again thank you, Keshav
Somebody bought them, probably due to this tread. You snooze you loose I suppose
I can't imagine there no rear seat belts from the factory, unheard of in my limited experience. Did you pull the back seats? That's where mine were.
