Hi,
Can any recommend a source for new "chrome" grill strips - the horizontal and vertical trims which slide onto the plastic inner grill.
It looks to be standard stuff, used by lots of 70s and 80s MBs so I am hoping it can be bought by the metre.
Thanks

I've had two cracks at cleaning the chrome and the bodywork strips, windows, doors etc.
My second shot today, using Solvol has made them cleaner and brighter,
The grille, bumpers, hub caps and mirrors - which I assume are chromed look great.
All the rest, the window trim, panels trim, which...
I really need just the metal inserts. Have you replaced your bumper corner moldings. Please let me buy your old ones. I need a pair (fronts only) For a C-Class w203.
I can get refinished so ANY condition considered but not badly bent etc.
Has anyone found an alternative or had any made?
thanks

Hi
I've got a 210 estate in silver, 220 CDI. However, I notice last week while washing it, there is a little bit (smaller than a thumb nail!) of rust bubbling just under the front part of the rear passenger door. I think where the seat beat has over the years been 'flung off' the metal has...
Is it easy to change the rubber strips on the outside of the front windows? I find mine don't tend to wipe the mist/rain off the glass when lowering them on a cold day. car is a w202.

Anyone had any problems with the roof strips rusting?
Was surprised to find my roof strips on the E270 had very slight rust. They were replaced under warranty but just wondered if this was a common fault and if it may reappear.
I thought all the rust problems had been sorted after about...
Is it worth getting the rubbing strips on the sides sprayed to match say new bumpers and skirts, or is it better to buy new rubbing strips already painted?
Opinions please...
Hi does any body know what is enatailed in changing the metal strips that go across the roof and down the windscreen on a W203. Also do the black metal strips that fit on top of the door under the window just clip in ?
The reason I am asking as i have just had a quote from the Stealers for...
Has anyone ever remove the door guard rubbing strips on the w202 (or any other model?)
I wish to remove & respray them to get rid of the crome strip & make them the same colour as the car, instead of being slightly blue'er.
On the 4 doors, there appears to be a screw on the outer edge...
Hi,
I've just purchased a new C-class 2004 model. Has anyone removed the model badge from the side strips. I'm told by my dealer if this is done it will leave two holds on the strips.
My sliver sill strip (2 strips of metal) has started to curl up and buckle on the drivers side.
I would like to replace it with, say a sill strip that has MB on it.
anyone know the costs/part numbers?
