arches

After fitting the correct size tyre for 19" wheels on my car, I had a look to see what, if anything, the scuffs did (less than half a dozen times) to my rear wheel arches. The answer is not a lot other than clean the muck of the inside of the arch. However, I noticed whilst examining them that...

Hi there, I have a 1994 E320 coupe that I am fitting some wide AMG wheels to. I was kindly directed to convertion instructions by a fellow forum user where it states that for the rear arches you need to roll them out and cut a slit and insert a section of metal to flare out the fender but for...

My son is 17, first car, insured with Insure the Box and no modifications allowed. As a concession however they have allowed him to fit whatever wheels he wants (he was 150,000 customer and so they relented on their rules). He has a 2008 Clio 3 and for Christmas we bought him some BBS style...

Hi guys & gals Does anyone know if there should be a splash guard fitted directly in front of front wheels behind the lower bumper - directly in-line with the horns? There seems to be a rather large opening from bottom of arch liners to bottom of lower valance - that collects stones/dirt etc...

A few months ago I was giving the car a good clean and noticed a little bubbleing up inside the wheel arches, my initial thought was oh well this is why I've kept it within the MB dealer network (to preserve the 30yr corrosion warranty). Oh how wrong I was.... Letter to MB after numerous...
