Apparently you can buy a little 'Black Series' badge that neatly fits around an AMG badge - looks great on any black Mercedes & additionally serves to annoy the AMG snobs.
Which is why I wish Lexus still did a SLK style hardtop convertible because I would dump my SLK in an instance. Coming from an Audi & a Honda both brands eclipse Mercedes in terms of quality & dealer service. Sadly many buy a Mercedes because of the badge, the likes of Honda being far too...
Sorry but that sounds like total sales bullshit. Of course the dealer wants the stickers & logo number plates left on as they are a permanent 24/7/365 free advertisement. Come re-sale time there will be records as from whom the car was purchased so the argument is pathetic & I feel sorry for...
My number plate has the same amount & distribution of letters/numbers but the plate itself is slightly longer yet still shorter than standard. Few letters/numbers on a standard plate do get lost but you have to be very careful not to overdo the look.
If it were possible I would have had your...
Steady on. There are those who have little choice to work in retail such as Poundland & may never be able to afford a car let alone a Mercedes. There but for fortune go you ( and I ).
On a daily & hourly basis staff have to tolerate rude arrogant customers, the sort that look down their noses...
Maybe consider losing the black mounting plate after all why be a mobile advertisement for a car dealer unless of course you're been paid to do so?
Lovely car. That red/black interior with what looks like gloss black highlights is a real class act.
Fair enough. We all have differing standards & time available. As long as for you the result looks great that's good.
That said in 50+ years of car ownership, be it my own car or that supplied by an employer, I have never been able to wash & polish a car properly to my (not always concours...
When there was enough space I used one for displaying my car under in my classic car show/concours days.
Kept the showers off, kept me & the car cool.
Agree had to be careful in high winds.
Love my '12 250 1.8 SLK but for what is a sort of sports/tourer the exhaust sound is as boring as a dull saloon. Just fancy a little burble ( don't we all ? ). What do I do that has been proven but please don't suggest I contact a certain north London organisation that takes mega adverts. in...
Irrespective of whether the guy was jealous or just a tad unhinged he was looking for an argument so a smiley joshing response 'seeming' to agree with him might have deflated & confused him spoiling any chance of starting a row. If you had ****ed him off then at some time you may well find...
My understanding was that A1 was the first number plate ever issued & may not reside on a car in a museum somewhere.
If not what WAS the first number plate issued - Google will tell me but you'll probably beat me to it!!!!
Keep grounded because 'paint correction' & 'detailing' has become a national job creation scheme.
Lots of sudden experts, endless waxes, polishes, preparations & magical potions.
In the last 8 years I've owned 3 black cars used daily & obtained a deep wet look finish simply by clay-baring &...
The XF is a bulky inelegant thing. Even though it might fit on your drive whether it 'easily' fits on our predominantly narrow roads is another matter unless you roam motorways & dual-carriageways most times.
The best thing about these threads whatever car club forum on which they appear is reading the huffy puffy indignant judgemental responses. Gives me a laugh every time. Bit like dangling a bag of sweets in front of children & watching them all rush about trying to grab one.
I have often...
Most craft shops sell aerosol cans of 'sticky label remover' which do exactly as it says on the cans. Used these for years & nothing else needed.
Works for exterior badges as well.
