    Changing CDi exhaust to oval one.

    No, not got a new one yet. The dealer wanted over £500 to replace it so I gave up. I'm going to keep an eye out for a breakers though as I only need a new back box and then the oval finisher. I'm not sure I'm too keen on the downward vent idea anymore, I think it might look a bit odd with...

    How to remove rear door cards - w203 coupe

    Just installed my leather seats I got from a breakers into my C-Class Coupe and now I'm up to the part where I need to put the door cards in. I've seen a how-to for the front ones, seems simple enough, but is there any trick for the rears? Looking at the back of the new cards it looks like...

    Best way to send alloys through post?

    The only thing about home pick-up is that you have to be home for them to do it and I'm in work :D (can't get them picked up in work - not allowed). I am home from about 5pm though but prob too late. Do they do saturday pick up?

    Best way to send alloys through post?

    Can anyone advise on the best way for me to post a set of 4 alloy wheels with tyres? Obviously it'll have to be a courier, but being in work all day makes it slightly hard. Can I just go down to my local City Link depot (for example) and do the job there and then, or is the depot only for...

    OK, so I bid on & missed out on a set of AMG alloys

    I don't particularly like those alloys - the way the spokes don't go right to the end and then there is an outer rim/lip makes them look a lot smaller than they are. They end up looking like 16s rather than 17s IMO.

    What size wheel bolts for a C Class Coupe

    £9 for a full set - that's cheap isn't it? I imagined they'd be about £40 or something. I was gonna buy some online but it seems like it'd be well cheaper to go to the dealers (never thought I'd say that :D). EDIT - Ah, that's for a set of 5, not a full set for the car. 4x9 = £36

    What size wheel bolts for a C Class Coupe

    Can anyone tell me what size wheel bolts I need to replace the rusty ones on my C-Class Sport Coupe? (53 plate) Will any w203 marked ones work or are they different for the saloon?

    Alshains are like gold dust!

    Wow, I would have snapped them off your hands. I've managed to find some anyway. Most breakers wanted around £500 but with no tyres which is a little steep once you add the rubber. Ended up getting some with tyres for £515 though so I'm happy - proper OEM, not replicas. :)

    C63 AMG v BMW M3 Fifth Gear

    I'm watching this now, waiting for the C63 bit. God this is hard work :rolleyes: Top Gear is superior to this in every single way, whether you like Clarkson or not.

    Alshains are like gold dust!

    Ah yes, good point. I only meant the design of them really.

    W203 Coupe Facelift window tinting

    Yeah I suppose if it's a light tint then it'll look quite good. Whenever I hear about tinted windows I just get this picture in my mind of a Golf with pitch black windows and a baked bean can exhaust :D

    Alshains are like gold dust!

    Do the Homan ones come on the SL? They are very similar. I quite like them, but I'm really desperate to keep it like the OEM coupe look.

    W203 Coupe Facelift window tinting

    Each to his own I suppose, but I really think you shouldn't do this to a merc, makes it look a bit too max power IMO. The thing about a merc is it's got class so you should keep it that way. Only my opinion :)
