I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET TINKERBELLE

[JEZ.S320L]

What a cracking job.!

The car looks absolutely great - you certainly deserve a lie-in tomorrow - Narf! Narf!

Oh - and you are perfectly right about the number plate holders. Screws are so - Council.!!!!!

as we have all been part of this surprise, I think we all need to be there to see her reaction. What time is the party?

Bring a bottle.............:lol::lol:

 

[vauxhallmaniac]

Haha, no lol

What is going on with the front number plate holder??? Can you not just screw it on like this?



P.S I have massive OCD about un-necessary addenda on cars, love the fact you have left the badges off.

Bling, bling & more bling :lol::lol::lol: remember if its shiney or weighed in carats she'll love it...............:lol::lol:

 

[vauxhallmaniac]

Good number plate, by the way. Was that part of the birthday package, or already owed?

Just another piece of the jigsaw feeling potless now

I'll stick with the 'no-screws' look, thanks all the same - it's a bit more upmarket than rusty screw heads

how much different is the 170 to the 171 dimensionally (i know its different in appearance) because there was an SLK 55 AMG so, if the 171 was essentially a 170 with a facelift and better trim etc, it may just be a case of source the parts and in it goes! (at least for the engine)

personally, id love to see an AMG V8 engined car hooked up to a manual gearbox and a LSD, just for the hell of it! something like a 204, with a LSD, manual gearbox and a 63 kompressor engine! or even a V12 biturbo (instead of the V8, if it will physically fit in the engine bay)

now THAT would be a project! i would attempt it myself, if i had the funds to do so!

 

[wheelie]

What a stunning piece of work chap and to have it done in that amount of time is unreal. I cannot imagine how good the look on your wifes was

She is a very lucky person to have such a devoted guy, you're a credit to chaps everywhere matey
