Right, I am prepared to be roasted here, but hear me out... I have '99 CLK 320. It has blobs of rust round three of the four wheelarches, really, as is to be expected. The car cost £1800 and I have spent a bit on it getting it all working properly so now my mind turns to the rust. I shall ask a local bodyshop how much to repair and paint properly (and the bumpers) but, I thought a cheap alternative would be the chrome arch kits available for £60 ish. I have to admit, I am not a fan of them but wondered if they would suit a CLK. Also, I could deal with the rust blebs, treat, paint and then pour Waxoyl inside them and then put these arches over the top which should protect them.
The car is Metallic Black Opal so quite dark, any thoughts on if this would spoil the car or maybe, improve it?
I know what I think, but I'm asking you oh wise ones
