    Cars as investment potential

    I think you'll find that buying an asset that you think will increase in value as other assets you own decrease fits the definition of a hedge. Additionally, if you re-read my post you'll also find that I said it was "viewed" as a hedge, not that I thought it was one myself (otherwise I would be...

    Cars as investment potential

    I wouldn't recommend gold or silver as an investment - the price had been bid up in the last few years because it's viewed as a hedge to market uncertainty, but the long term equilibrium price should be some way below current levels. The white line in the graph is the gold price & the yellow...

    W204 c63 front bumper

    I've just got the non-AMG bumper, so would need the new bumper + DRLs. The 'custom wiring' aspect of it sounds tricky, so I might just stick with the original fogs in a pre-facelift AMG bumper. Think I saw the thread somewhere with the Spanish guy that changed to the new bumper & it didn't fit...

    W204 Interior Peeling

    As you might have gathered, I'm not really up to speed on who are the best for parts, so I was just googling the part number... They do have it on Inchcape (£19) as a "covering", although unfortunately without a picture & it seems to be listed as for an E250D from 1985-1994?

    Can only seem to find reference to that part number on websites that seem to be in Russian... maybe I will ask about warranty cover after all!

    MBclub APP on Apple App Store

    Thanks for the update, although just to clarify your point above, jailbreaking isn't actually illegal per se (although it will void your warranty) - it's only if you then use pirated software that you are breaking the law.

    MBclub APP on Apple App Store

    Just tried that - didn't work. When I tried to sync it said the app is not authorized for use on this computer, which I think means it must have some data relating to your itunes profile in it so it can tell it wasn't downloaded officially by me. Just checked - it does. It has your name &...

    W204 Interior Peeling

    Had to Google translate this, but you're definitely right - some of the interior isn't exactly as "premium" as it could be...

    W204 Interior Peeling

    Much cheaper than I expected - when I tried to seach for "centre console" it always brings back parts costing £200+, but I guess that must be for more than just the plastic cover. Do you know what the correct term for it is or where I could get it? For £10 I'm almost tempted just to do it...

    W204 Interior Peeling

    Nope, didn't notice at the time. It's not easy to see when the cupholder is closed (it looks bigger than it really is in the photo), so easy to miss. I'm more just concerned about how bad it'll look in a year if I don't get it sorted.

    W204 Interior Peeling

    Yes, unfortunately it is. Was planning just to go to the nearby MB garage rather than bother going all the way back to the place I bought it (2hr round trip vs 20mins).

    Just to clarify, my posts above related to two spam message that have now been removed - I didn't mean Holbay's messages!

    MB Insurance

    That's what I thought, but I'm sure Aviva was cheaper when it came up on one of the comparison sites. If you go direct to Aviva do you lose the guarantee of MB approved garages & genuine MB parts?

    Cleaning the Windscreen

    Need to try that one myself, although does it not leave hair on the windscreen? :D

    Common Sense?

    In situations like this you just need to leave the offender to their moronic ways. No point pointing yourself at risk & no doubt one day they'll cut in front of someone who isn't paying attention & get a sore rear-end for their stupidity.

    W204 Interior Peeling

    Just looked at the warranty & it says interior trim isn't covered, so will just need to try my luck at the dealership...
