prefacelift

Today I fitted my facelift front bumper (from Shude) onto my pre-facelift. Was a knightmare undoing the semi-rusted srews, but anyway. After I fitted it, the sides stick out about 1.5cm each side. Why is this? do I need new side rails (from a faclift model) or as the bumper warped? If I...

This mod is for a W208 CLK, but other "pre-facelift" Mercedes might be similar, but I have heard that some facelift car bumper "lowers" dont fit the pre-facelift bumpers. ie SLK etc. But good for me, the CLK parts are fully compatible!! Allow a good 4 hours total for the work! If you...

Fitting sideskirts is quite an easy mod…. Firstly you need the parts. I purchased mine second hand. This applies to a 1999 pre-facelift W208 CLK, but it is more-than likely most pre-facelift Mercedes will be similar. Part number for the passenger side skirt is A208 698 11 54. Not sure on...

Ive been thinking of getting a set of facelift bumpers & skirts for my pre-facelift 202. I have been PM'ing a number of you about this, so I thought I would find out as much as I can. Fitting the front & back bumpers seems straight forward, I will require new fitting clamps from the...

hi is it easy to fit a facelift steering wheel onto a pre-facelift CLK? mine is a 1999 model... could i fit a steering wheel from a 2001 model on my car? i know it has buttons on it but i could wire these up to different things or not use them; its the look of the wheel thats important to...

hi i have put down a £200 deposit on a pre-facelift 1999 T reg convertable which is £20,000. Unfortunatly i found this forum after that. Is it worth holding out for a facelift model of the CLK (ie 2000 etc) or are the differences very little. Does the facelift model come with more...

I understand I require both the lense, and a plastic boot/clamp to attach it, will this be enough and is the hole in the side wing the correct size? Cheers

Got my door handles colour coded today. Looks much better IMO. Here's some piccy's. I also had the plastic cover that goes in the driver's lock barrel done. I have piccys on a flash card but my computer isn't playing fair :(

My first (small) venture into the wonderful world of modding. I recently swapped my nasty rusty exhaust tip with a nice new shiny one. Here are some piccys: :) before: part: hopefully you can an idea of the improvement from this piccy. probably could've got a better...
