We had a v similar accident on French autoroute a few years ago. I nodded off and drifted onto the Armco in our Citroen C8. There was a slight bend in the road and so the armco had green plastic posts on top, as is the French way. These are at door mirror height on a C8 and so the first I knew was the door mirror hitting these. The body panels scrapped the armco slightly. The insurance company wanted to write if off but we didn’t and so repaired it ourselves without claiming.
And on the Mercedes convertible colour combination front, my wife’s CLK cabriolet is light metallic blue with red leather seats (‘not advised’ according to the brochure) but I think it looks good, as does your E cabrio, Peter. After all, what do the Germans know about style? :-)
