    How it could look.

    I loaded Photoshop on the Laptop this week. I'm still finding my way round it, but it's given me a chance to get some work done on my car.:D I fitted 19's (or they might be 20's), got the ride height how I want it and smoothed it out a bit by removing the door handle, filler cap and the bonnet...

    C class coupe owners

    Can you guys do me a huuuge favour? I want to know the standard ride height for the coupe - the front mainly. The distance I'm after, is from the wheel center to the top of the arch. So...If you measure the wheel dia in mm, half it, then measure from the rim to the top of the arch, then...

    bigger wheels / low profiles - again!!

    There's been lots of threads on this subject. Going to bigger wheels with lower profile tyres will reduce the ride quality due to the smaller height of the sidewall. No arguments from me on that one. But, here's a question..... Suppose, you go to a larger diameter wheel but keep the same...

    At last! - WIM alignment done.

    My car's driving experience has always been slightly spoiled by the dreaded 'pulling to the left' which seems to affect most MB's. Having spoke to Wheels in motion and reading good reports, I decided it was worth the journey down to see them. So, with the sat-nav giving me directions in...

    Brake disc question (rust)

    Yesterday, I noticed the rear discs have surface rust and it looks bl**dy terrible! I know it's quite normal and it will go as soon as I next drive it. However, I'm now wondering why the fronts don't do the same (sport pack/c32 discs). They still look nice and shiney I presumed they're all...

    Eibach Anti-roll bar kit fitted

    W203 coupe (2003) Having already got the Eibach lowered springs fitted, I've been quite happy with the ride. It's firm without being uncomfortable. I still felt though that 'turn-in' on bends could be sharper, so I decided to try the Anti-roll bar kit. There was a problem with the kit when it...

    Am looking to get a 4 wheel align and camber done on my 03 C-class coupe. The car is lowered with Eibach springs. Can the front and rear camber be adjusted or will I need to fit offset bolts, washers etc. If so where can I get them? Jay. .

    Fantasy modding.

    Not much spare cash for the past 6 months, so I've not done any more mods or jobs on the car that I'd like to.:( I'm guessing there maybe a few in a similar position or just been sensible and holding on to their cash for a while. So, I thought it might be a bit of fun to see what we all would...
