S212 E500 Five Years In

May I be so bold to ask what it costs please?

Haven't got the final price but it'll be north of £400.

Removing both seats, prepping and spraying.

That price also includes removing the cover from the driver's seat and re-stitching it - which is why I went to see these guys in the first place.

Maybe £150 for the repair and £250 for spraying, but not blocking, those thousands of tiny little holes…

Money well spent IMHO

Yes, exactly, the paint/dye/whatever-it's-called needs to be very fine.

I picked it up at lunchtime - it looks great. Exactly how it was when I bought it.

They like their Mercs in there. One of the guys there has a 2006-ish CLS - the 219. He bought the newer one (218? How come the number went down?) but preferred the original one so sold the later one and kept the earlier one

It's interesting hearing the opinions of people who take cars apart for a living.

I love a light interior in a dark car.
