bodywork

Hi I have unfortunately been put in a circumstance where I will have to leave my car outside exposed to the environment, parked and not driving for a long period of time. Can anyone help me out on the best OUTDOOR covers to purchase in order to keep the car in top notch. Thank you

I have some rust on a door skin above the beltline trim and some on the offside rear arch leading edge which I would like to banish. In order to do the job properly, these two trims must be removed. Is this a matter of unclipping or are they stuck on? If the latter, I usually use Dental floss...

I need to fit some P-clips to the bodywork (to hold a snorkel), any ideas of how to fix them? They are too thin to weld on, and the holes too big for a pop rivet. Being double-skin, I can't get to the inside to fit a nut... so I was thinking expanding screws, but the part of the screw that...

Guys Do any of you know what is the largest wheel size I can go up to before I need to carry out any additional work on the car (2008 CLS 320) ? Thanks in advance Bamz

Hello, This is my first post and I'm looking for advice for restoring my 2002 CLK. I have the usual rust spots on the arches, boot and bonnet, a few scratches and a couple of dents. I've had the car for over 8 years and would like to bring it back to it former glory. Do you know how much I...

Hi, I need some advise please - Just has a minor accident which resulted in scratches on front RH side on the car. I showed to Merc dealer who quoted £1200 for it and 5 days to fix it. Is it resonable? See the attached pics showing car damage and item of works quoted my the dealer...

Hi I have a 2001 SLK 230. Owned it for quite some years now and it's been my favourite car. It's only done 60k so I'm planning on keeping it (after considering leasing a new SLK). Right, now I'm interested in some different opinions and recommendations on repairing some bodywork, some chav...

Hi, everyone.. Well, I have reached the point where my disappointment in the lack of rust-proofing on my low-mileage, 52 plate, e240 estate has made me re-think my MB ownership, possibly reverting to my trusty old, rust-free Volvo estate days.......whilst I love the w210 for its ride and...

As seems to be quite common with Mercs, my 2003 C230k is rusting at every arch at the min. It's a real shame as it's a lovely car otherwise and generally drives really well, so of it's not too expensive, I'd like to try and sort it out a bit. I'd probably look at having replacement front wings...

My mum went shopping first thing this morning, parked miles away from anyone and when she returned some lovely person had smacked into the side of her car. Obviously they've just driven off not leaving insurance details or anything. There is a fair bit of damage to the near side rear...

Hi guys, i need a front grille, lower bumper mesh (middle section) and the whole number plate housing (black) my car is a 2011 c63 saloon does anyone know when i can find these parts at the cheapest price or has anyone got any around on the forum? thanks in advance james

Mine appears to have had a super light front smack at some point, and all the gaps are very slightly 'out' - compounded with aftermarket (I think) wings. None of the steelwork shows any visible bends / creases. Can anyone give me some tips as to the order of alignment? eg - get rear of wing...

Had my front bumper repainted with a lot of other bodywork and done 1000 miles since. Washed the car today and there are over 50 stone ships on the front bumper yet none anywhere else. The bumper is actually more chipped than it was before painting yet that had done 50K on the car. Would you...

I have searched the forum for a solution but can only find people with the issue and no conclusion. :doh: My W164 NS wing mirror hits the bodywork (top of door) when it folds in where as there is clearance of about 3-5mm on the OS. People talk of needing new motor tracks, new frames etc...

Hi there I have recently moved house to Leicestershire (nr. Market Harborough) and wonder if anyone knows of any good independent classic merc garages? I have a 1982 R107 380SL and prefer people who know what they're doing when fiddling with her!! Currently needs brakes, bit of body...

I just had a new tow bar fitted on my c class estate, all ok except that after the bumper seems to be touching the bodywork by the wheel. It does not seem right but I cannot remember if there was a gap before and there are none around for me to compare with. So before I drag the fitter back...
