Chrome arch kits

[bigeal]

Is there any where I can purchase these kits cheaper than the £50/60 I have seen on the net.
I wont go into the rust issue but my car is a W reg 202 Estate,thanks

it might be worth going into the rust issue..cos it might be a free job...ive just had new wings and arches on my w reg w202 free of charge

Did you just mention chrome wheel arch kits..whoa you are brave

very eighties!
£50-60 for the chrome wheel arches is not a bad price.
But personnally think you would be better off spending it on getting the rust sorted as the rust will only get worse with the chrome arches on.
Your car does have a thirty year rust warranty from MB.

But what does it entail to claim? Gotta be a nightmare, I would think!

30 year rust warranty!

is my 94 w124 coverd?

However difficult it is to claim, it has to be easier than watching your pride and joy lose 20% of its value because you have fitted the £60 chrome wheel arches.

chrome arches can look good on cars with chrome stuff like old 1980's coupes that are stunning and worth a fortune

but if the car has zero chrome then dont add any

 

[The German Flower Pot]

chrome arches usually look this good ...

but should only be on old cars ...

(i know it does not have any)

Do you have to be the first owner as I bought it second hand

 

[bigasotonuk]

No you don,t have to be the first owner.
They do want you to have had the car for at least 6 months and preferred full MB service history though some have still been successfull in the claim without it.
do a search on the forum as there have been plenty of posts regarding this issue.
Try it they can only say no.

I've "tried" rust and warranty claims over here in Dublin with a collapsed spring perch and wheel arch rust on my ex UK 1997 W210 3.0 TD avantgarde.

Where is best for a chrome "wheel arch kit". The car has only 154K but as it's an ex taxi over here (by myself) the value is only about 1200-1500eur.

I also need a set of glow plugs. Beru seem to be the best from comments on the forums. Where's the cheapest?

Thanks
