I watched a movie called "Too Late" (Tarantino esque murder story) and this car appeared in a couple of scenes :shock:

Oh dear, I wonder who thought that was a good idea? :(
It really needs to be returned to original spec and throw away those horrible rust retainers on the wheel arches. :rolleyes:

I grew up where rust was not a problem (Jo'burg 6000' above sea level) and as a young man, I always liked the look of those chrome covers (I still like the look on the older MBs).

I completely agree Rory however, when you've been brought up and reside in the UK, you soon learn what a pita rust is. :D :rolleyes:
