ideas

I want to have the wood door trim and centre console on my 129 SL reveneered. I've found a company that will do the job at a good price, but they want me to remove the parts from the car (and replace them) myself. I can't do it myself (too cack-handed) and I got told that it would be a 4hr job...

Over the last day or so my laptop which runs XP home has taken to running video in a kind of negative colour scheme (not true negative but some colours seem reversed, kinda hard to describe). At first I thought it was a problem specific to Media Player 9.0 but now I'm pretty sure it isn't...

During your COMAND installation only ============================= If you are using the front dashboard GPS sensor it will probably only be long enough to sit on the dashboard or hang out of the vent hole during installation. All of the remaining parts - gear shift, gear shift cover...

I noticed the W203 has a very tight instrument cluster. It was a bit un-nerving just pulling on the cluster with the hooks. It has to come out evenly or it wont come out and you could break the clear screen with the flexing. Things to note. 1/ Quick and dirty. -------------------...

Hello Folks! Recently just bought a 96' Mercedes C220 (w202) Elegance. The car is Brilliant Silver, with black leather, auto. I have been looking at the forum quite a lot, and I wanted some advice on modding the car. A few things on my shortlist (or wishlist!) include the following...

OK guys. I am sat here with my brother, Scott's Nurburgring DVD playing, Dorian showing how it's done (on a wet lap) and I am getting itchy feet. So, any ideas, suggestions etc for a Germany trip this year? 1. What excuse can we use for going? Ideally we need something to go do/see to...

Hi guys, /rant on the original exhaust on my W201 has now got a small hole in it, almost under the driver's seat. It's not making too much noise yet, but of course will turn into a trumpet shortly. I am looking to find a place that will repair the pipe, rather than replace it. Back in...
