The chrome arches on my 300SL have been on the car since it was bought by my father over ten years ago. The car hasn't any rust on it, being a Spanish car for most of its life, and only fine-weather motoring in the UK since.
The question is, do I remove the chrome arches and hope for the...
Hi Folks,
The nearside inner arch top on my W123 coupe has rotted through. Don't have a pic at the moment, but it's on the side by the wing (ie it's not actually where the strut attaches, but it is in the prescribed area for MOT purposes). It'll need a reasonably large new bit of metal welded...
so, it was going to happen, running my 20x9 front wheels with an offset of (i think) 23 has meant the side walls are taking a bit of a battering on bumpy roads, anyone got any tips on rolling the arches to stop them cutting into my nice new tyres?
I have a pair of wheel arch spoilers for the current generation SLK. I had these on my C Coupe and they look good and stop a lot of muck getting on your rear bumper.
I have given them a quick coat of gloss black just to tidy them up a little, they can be sanded and colour coded.
These just...
A daft question i know but half the insert is outside the arch and the rest on the inside on my w211 57 reg, should the plastic be under the front lip on the arch or on the outside of the arch rim, ta:crazy:
Hi everybody,
I own a 2001 Mercedes Benz SLK230 which I purchased approximately 4 years ago.
During the summer just gone, I discovered that all 4 wheel arch edges have got varying degrees of corrosion. Thankfully, it has not yet worked it’s way up onto the side of the panels, but I am sure...
Can anyone help? I've just finished treating the surface rust on the inside lip of the wheel arch on all 4 wings of my 1998 C280 Estate/T (W202). Luckily it hadn't spread from the turned-under lip of the wing around the wheel arch (only visible when looking up with the wheel off). It was a lot...

What do you use / recommend?
I have nice glossy paintwork and deep black tyres and the inner arches are letting things down. They are 'clean' as in no crud etc but not really clean.
What can I use to give them an even clean deep black finnish?
Have one wheel arch spoiler missing from the other car, does anyone have an odd one or a set lying around? :cool:
Cancel that! He's decided to remove the three now....!
Is this 'par for the course' in terms of wheel arch rust? Hopefully it will be covered by the rust warranty when I take it to the dealer in August (6 months ownership).
It is primarily rear arches, but there is also a lesser issue with the front.
This is the only rust bubbling on the...
I have scuffed the wheel arch on my SL350 :( :( :(
Not wishing to spend huge sums repairing, I have a quote from Chipsway to fix for less than £200. Anyone used them before, and are they any good?
They claim to be the small/medium repairer to the MB Porsche and Aston Martin dealers in...
I quite like the look of the wheel arch lip spoilers on the new SLK.
They are on sale on ebay for £45 and was thinking of sticking some on my W203 Coupe...
