5 Years of Waiting...

[A-AvantGarde]

Already sanded down

Im going to attempt to spray them myself. I know it sounds like a mad idea but I did my old W202's facelift sideskirts which looked perfect.

If its not upto scratch I will get them done 'properly'

I'm impressed, all credit to you for having the courage to do it. Good luck, we're keen to see pics of your car completed finally

Modding is not about instant gratification; it's about patience and planning!

Wish I had more of the patience....

I got a quote for some xenon headlamps in 2001 and bought them in 2006!

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Exactly, I could have just bought a C43 AMG... but were would the fun be in that?

Massive thanks to Momomo who found them + a set of C43 bumpers still attached to a W202 :bannana:

I wonder how did Mo managed to find the car & how did he remember you`re looking for the SS

 

[momomo]

Of course Dash, nothing gets past you. You're the man when it comes to these things. You should start charging

The feeling you get when you help someone,is worth more than any payment

Couple of photos (pre-lacquer).

Almost perfect for £18 worth of cans. I couldnt sand out all of the pits from the underside of the skirts (down to 10+ years of stones). the only people who are going to see them are the guys who do my annual service

Cracking job pat on the back for you

 

[momomo]

Wow, you didnt waste any time did you Karl!

 

[reflexboy]

Nice one Karl-Get that laquer on before the basecoat goes too hard.

Want to have them ready to fit over the Royal wedding weekend after I have de-rusted my wings with my Angle Grinder! Gonna be busy!

Going to do it tomorrow after work, ive PM'd you

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Wow, looking good Karl. I'm impressed looks like a job well done, and all from an aerosol?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

aerosol?

2 of them per side

 

[KillerHERTZ]

After a couple of hours with some T-Cut, lovely shine with a great reflection

Will be fitted any day now as my sill rust has been removed

 

[KillerHERTZ]

All under holes undersealed, and then the complete under-skirt area Dynax'ed before the covering up.

C43 Sideskirt fitted on one side so far: :bannana::bannana::bannana:

Bit of a knightmare getting the clips to remain attached while fitting, they keep dropping off in the gap of the skirt

Clips and fittings from MB: £70 total!

 

[A210AMG]

With all these C43 to C55 conversions there should be quite a lot of engines available?

The 'next' mod

 

[momomo]

Karl the next mod should be Jack's 43 lump into your 240. Then you wil have the real deal!

Yeah, have thought about that, but I doubt the cost of it all, plus the gearbox, loom and fitting would be ££££'s
