Evenin' All,
Some time back I got this kit from E bay at a reasonable price. It hasn't been available new for some time, so as an ex- Mercedes mechanic when these were new I had a vested interest in it. I wanted to do it in blue , with a cream leather interior, but in the end I thought I'd try an experiment with clear blue over silver - as you would usually use for anodised hose fittings, and see how it came out.
I was hoping it would look Classy, but I think its more like a Miami drug dealers look.
The original kit came with BBS spokey type wheels, and the seller included a set of printed AMG wheels as well, but they were the wrong type for this era, so my nieces husband printed a set of split rims for me which are more period correct.
I'm reasonably happy with the result.
