Hi Guys, My 500E is in need of a respray as when it came from Japan, the paintwork was in a very poor state. I'd like to get it resprayed (keep it the same color), however, am struggling to find a reputable re-sprayer who has done more older cars (W124, W140, etc). Does anyone have any...

Hi Guys, I have a faulty ETA that I have taken out of my W124 500E which I need rebuilding. Can anyone recommend any good rebuilders? I contacted BBA Reman however, I never got a response back from them. Anyone know of any good companies that can do this? Cheers

Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a decent place that does 3-piece refurbs? I can't seem to find any decent places at decent prices. I had a quote from a company called Diamond Styling for £200+VAT per wheel which I thought was extremely high - is this how much they should normally cost? I had...

Thanks for the lovely comments guys, much appreciated. Really, really love this beast, will keep her for a long time!

Cheers for the kind words. I don't think I will claybar the car for a while, just wanted to get some prep done for the winter weather. Maybe in the summer I might take you up on your offer if you're still running it! Cheers

Hi all, Been reading these forums for a while and finally plucked up the courage to do some detailing on my 500E. My car is 040 jet black and being an old car it has picked up quite a few swirl marks / scratches on the body. Initially, I was going to pay someone to detail the car...

Some pics as promised: Top job, really pleased.

Had the car over @ PCS for the last day for the under-sealing. From what I saw from the pictures, it looks like a quality A+ job and very, very good pricing. The under-body is lovely and protected now which gives me ease of mind - they even gave me some tips on what I need to take a look at in...
