Yeah! I've always been a trendsetter!
You'll be selling yours next!
Haha don’t worry I know it and can take it....there are worse afflictions although clearly snooker isn’t great!!
Loads of fun when I completed my IAM course and test I can tell you! All look ‘green’ to me (joking)
- this is my blue smiling face by the way!
Was it easy to fit?Thanks- looks like it was made for the car I think David and much better than the blue (or green I’m colour blind)
And in a boat you need to stick between the red and green channel markers.... oh sh*t....
I think you mean the blue and blue ones!!!
Piece of pi@@ in the 212, open bonnet and there’s a hole under the badge , reach in with the fingers and press the spring holds with thumb and forefinger together- the badge lifts and pulls out from the top of the bonnet. New badge just presses in- simples.
Still cleaning up the 190 but hit a bit of a snag this morning. ****** rust under the mudflap in the rear arches.
There was a tiny bit which looked to be stretching the coating so, after taking the flaps off and a bit of careful scraping, I came across one of those repairs which is straight out of the 1970s DIY repair manuals. Perforated metal sheet, loads of filler and smother in several coats of underseal. I've started to grind it all out but lent my angle grinder to a mate so the best part will have to wait till I get it back at weekend. Once I've got it back to clean metal I'll get a plate let into it and the surrounding areas. Just hoping that the wheel arch isn't bad (it looks OK so far) otherwise I'll be getting more involved than I wanted...

I’d be ok, they would be red and Blue/green (delete as appropriate)

Oi, keep your red smiley faces off my screenI’d be ok, they would be red and Blue/green (delete as appropriate)
John, would you like a brand new locking bit - I have no use for it, it was part of the badge I bought from MB Newcastle.
Oi, keep your red smiley faces off my screen
Packed and labeled, will drop at the PO this afternoon
Excellent.Would have been happy to see either DaveMore involved means buying a new wheel arch and throwing 90% of it away just to get the bit I need, then welding it in place, though hopefully this is now not needed.
Just had my mate round to have a look at it. Attacked it with a screwdriver and reckons that it's not as bad as I thought initially as it goes straight into the boot. Cut the rubbish out, let a couple of plates into it and leave it with me for finishing off to an acceptable standard. Going to rip the other side apart as well just to make sure but it's not as bad as this one.
E Class John, my wheel has arrived from Germany so I've now got the car back.
