They so seem to have a MB part number though so could be original (if MB do them)

Can confirm those badges Lee recommend are great quality! They fit my wheels, I couldn’t find any for love nor money beforehand. Have asked the seller if they can source silver with black writing to match my wheels, that or I’ll get the bottom part of the surround cut to match the alloy rim

They look great! I wouldn't mind some for my wheels. Do you have a link to the actual product on ebay? I want to make sure I get the right ones rather than an inferior product. Many thanks

Seeing as such bad weather was forecast for this weekend I went to bodyshop on Friday to collect all the exterior plastic trims from the car so I could give them a clean and get them coated before going back on the car... Its taken me an entire day all the plastic from the bumper alone, I truly didn't realise how long this would take, and after 2 hours had begun to wonder if it was all worth it.
Finally finished, they are now complete with 2 coats of SI02 based coating and look like brand new again and ready for re fitting. Despite the long process of doing this its actually been very relaxing.
Now looking forward to the week ahead, cant wait to see the progress by the end of the week.. Fingers crossed the car should be in full primer, possibly base coat.

Ye gods. This had better be a perfect build. If it fails it could be an early bath featuring razors and wrists.
It’s going to look amazing

Lee, will you be re-adding the side decals after? Just thinking how unique (in a good way) it would be if so!

yes buddy they are going back on, I've had to have them made as the OEM ones are too short by about 35mm , but they are being made in the same MACTAC PRO vinyl , and the template was taken from the original set of decals so they will look spot on.

Respect to you Lee for offering up your car. Also to the guys at Golding Barn for taking the project when the price of failure would be:
Anxiety attacks? Oh come on.... quite a drama queen.... ! LOL
Thats the fun of modding. You have a vision for your car, you build/mod it to your liking.
I think this is more than just a “Mod”
The car is literally having an open triple bypass surgery
