Hi guys, Mid-way through putting my W108 280SE 3.5 back together and I'm after a few bits. - Fuel gauge sender - Heater slides - Centre dash wood trim (with the stereo hole - mine's been butchered). - Driver's side carpet in black - Front door rubbers (need them to be new or in VGC)...

Now sold.

No worries, and happy hunting.

They were on a W126 before, but think they went on a W202 for a short spell. You're welcome to try them on if you'd like. And thanks! It was a fun thing. I now have a W108, which demonstrates that there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes Benz!

Hi guys, not sure about bolt size but Mandrus was a brand built for Mercedes so whatever's normal (never been asked that before). Tyres are indeed Uniroyal Rainsport 2s (235/40/18) and they're ET32.

Can look like this:

Hi all, I have these 18x8.5 Mandrus Emils for sale with three good tyres (one's legal, but has inside wear). They could do with a refurb, but they're a good set of cheap winters. £350, collection only from North London (N6).

Crumbs. This looks fantastic, Jay. Fine work. And it's given me plenty of inspiration!

Oh, and if someone does buy it, please can you send me the rusty M on the grill...? I forgot to take it off when I sold it!

I hear it's actually had a bit of work since we parted ways, though I've not seen it in the metal to examine (one of the shortcomings of leaving the world of classic cars). In other news, I have a new project. There's a three-pointed star on the bonnet. Hurrah! Hope you're well by the way, Jay!

Well, I don't think the plates are that bad at all... Thanks for the kind words, though. It was a fun thing.

You should have done! I wonder who ends up with it. And how much they pay for it... Made that coffee table yet, Jay?

Nope, nobody should be impressed - it's my name. I wasn't able to come up with anything as witty or cryptic as camerafodder or MOR8A so I use it to log in to forums, too. Glad you like the plates, neilrr. Onanism is a hobby of mine.

Sorry - no idea why everything's bold and underlined.

Advertising on behalf of a colleague. He says: '4 Lorinser Turbine wheels, one with slight kerb rash. Could do with a bit of a clean/polish but otherwise good. Fitted with 4 Vredestein 235/45 17s, all have reasonable tread. PCD is 5x112 (Mercedes) but they've been on my VW T25. Very good...
