front spoiler doesn't look like a c32 spoiler, did you replace it with non AMG spoiler?

I hope your repairs last longer than mine!! 18 months later and after returning to the body shop a couple of times the tin worm is returning!

 

[Billy albert]

I hope so Neil as this cost a small fortune, thing is they wasn't galvanised so it's likely to go again

Genuine brabus front and rear valences

Also new wings instead if repairing old rubbish should keep the tin work at bay for a little while, but I know it's a risk and no guarantee,I had Mitsubishi with roof rust and had it repaired for it to return within 3 months so I replaced the skin

My C32 also has the rust worm... i was thinking about a full respray like this myself. Hope you don't mind me asking, how much does a job like this cost? I was thinking about 3k.

Mine, 2 years ago, for all four wheel arches, all four door bottom edges, little bonnet repair and boot repairs above the number plate holder was £1200 from memory and Barry the guy who did it was bang on with the repairs and totally honest in that he did what he could but it's likely to come back (multi-tech car care on here - top bloke) and unfortunately it's starting too! I would replace if I had the chance to go back!

You should be able to get a good job done for £1000-1500, the problem with doing an absolute nut and bolt restoration is that it doesn't matter how thorough the job is, it'll come back through in time.

Yeah no doubt it will come back in time I am going to paint the inner lip of arches hammerited to death

This job is costing over 2000 with the wheels thoroughly refurbished, it's not a full respray.

Mine has 3 arches bubbling,2 door bottoms & all wheels in a bad state...

Saw my mates Mazda 05 626 yesterday & his arches are bubbling ,the wheels are about the same & inside the door skin seams there's rust, so not just Mb ! Still shoddy though.
