VW Scirocco. The Quattro, E350 CDi Blue Efficiency Sport Coupe, now both gone
Got nice set of 17” wheels for the older E 320 I just bought to tidy up .

Is that the wheels or the car that's getting tidied up? I'm guessing the car as you describe the wheels as "a nice set".

Can we see some pictures of both please?

New underwear! No more frilly stuff....

Yep, Hopefully she'll keep her panties on next time and not drop them when she gets too excited at the aspect of doing certain things lol

Not today, but Monday I had a towbar fitted to my new to me GLE. It was fitted by Derbyshire towbars and I can recommend them, no drama and it took 3 hours. I have no affiliation to them but they seem ok.
I went for the detachable one because as you see from the pictures there is little evidence that ones fitted unless you get on your knees to look.

Added a bit of "Bling"...... Sorry, couldn't resist. Any addition of Chrome has gotta be good, and for less than a tenner you can't complain really!
I know they're not the "proper" ones but it's gotta be better than two gundgy pipes hanging down!

Mmmm - not sure they are “manly” enough for your S600. :oops: Something like this might be more suitable?

Hi....

I did look at those but to be honest I didn't like the insert inside them.

I was thinking about these as an option but to be honest I would rather spend 65 quid on other things at the moment.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXHAUST-TIPS-MUFFLER-TAIL-PIPE-2X1-SET-AMG-SPORT-FOR-MERCEDES-W220-S-CLASS/282356520337?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I also liked these but thought they were a bit OTT - although I personally liked them!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-Exhaust-Muffler-Pipe-Dual-Tips-For-Mercedes-Benz-W220-S430-S500-01-05-AMG-UK/332631737253?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

So for now the £7.50 for the pair will have to suffice. Although in the "flesh" they actually look very nice - and they are 3 inch/75mm round in diameter and look and feel quite substantial...!

I actually like these Bill :):)

So do I but I'm not sure how they will look without the correct Bumper Recesses....???

But I will see after I have serviced the Transmission, (I already have the ATF, Seal and Filter for that) and changed the Carbon Filters, (which I still have to buy). This car has 2 sets of Cabin Filters, The normal Pollen Filter which is actually 2 Standard Filters and a Secondary set of Carbon Filters, (2) which can be "switched" on to be used or not.

I have already changed the normal Pollen Filters, The Charcoal Filters cost in the region of 60 quid!

So as said, the cheapies will have to suffice for now.
