the nice bit is, it can always be clipped back on if the next owner's wants it looking orginal.
I love the look of them without it, just doesnt look right now wen i see one with it lol to fussy
Agreed
Saving my pennies now for refurbing the wheels and may try to get rad grille colour matched to wheels (gunmetal grey) if possible. Rear is debadged but stndard pipes which I like - keeps people guessing (especially when I get it tuned)

Preventive maintenance
Had a great day at the HLM Volvo dyno day, 421 miles on Half a tank the car didnt miss a beat i'm so in love with the Merc's again
What i did notice was there was a small wisper from the Drive belt area, took a look and the Original drive belt was badly cracked and also stretched.
So i thought id better change it, managed to do it without taking the fan cowling off.
Using a T60 torx and a 12mm spanner i released the tension off the belt tensioner and slipped the old Belt off. Reverse upon refitting and job done:bannana:
The Belt size on mine was a 6Pk2260

Well not much has been happening on the Project side of stuff, I've done around 7,500 miles now and the Merc hasnt put a foot wrong..... up until now. Had a error message flag up on the dash not so long ago after a full day valeting her (doors left open" saying the "brake effort was low" this went immediatly after starting the car and pedol was normal and has been since with no message been displayed since
then i had this message: Convenience features disabled, 2 days ago after id again been leaving doors open cleaning etc, this again would sort itself out after starting the car and hasnt re accured but im figuring the aux battery is getting tired, Part do not cost me much as i own a small Motor Factors, so anything the cars needs it gets.
So i did just that changing out the AUx battery which is located under the pollen filter, Turns out its the orignal battery from 2003. quite a easy job no reprograming required to anything "thank god lol" and the test drive after all went well. here's the pic's even managed to give it a little clean under there.
I will keep you peeps informed if the problem persists but hopefully all will be ok.
