Hey people, need some advice regarding this project. The car is a 94 E280, Blue/Black over grey. The car is having quite a bit of body work done and is then having a total respray. Do I keep it original or go for something else? All Blue/Black perhaps, maybe paint it obsidian...

W124 - 8 hole Alloys Just a few questions: How "good" do the Alloys have to be to make it worthwile to have them refurbished so that problems do not come back after a few years. i.e. is bad corrosion impossible to treat and cure Can a "mobile" service be any good or is it better to pay a...

I am writing this on behalf of my father, he has recently purchased a E class and thankfully his taste in cars is a lot better than his IT skills. His car currently has fitted pepper pot alloys which he is looking to refurb, he took them to one place who told him that all they could do was...

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to turn a set of regular (i.e "painted finish") 8 hole sprtline alloys into the shiny finish ones that you see on later 124 coupes and cabriolets? If so, what do I ask for, and does anyone know any companies that could do it? There are no tyres on...

I now have a set of used 19" multipiece styling IV with the grey inner bits (I think these are called titan), that I need to have made perfect Any recomendations for a superb refurber who can cope with the multi-piece aspect to these (I presume they need to be deconstructed and all bolts...

Hi All, The more I wash and worship my new object of affection, the more I hate the fact that the previous owner loved kerbs more than the road. As a result, I am becoming more and more convinced that refurbing or replacing the wheels on my car is a necessity. Has anyone had wheels...

Dear All, I currently have some W210 E55 alloys sitting in the garage. These wheels came off my E55. They currently have the polished lip, and could do with a refurb to take out some kerbing on at least two of the wheels. The wheels do have tyres fitted, and the rears could be useful for a...
