What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[flowrider]

They're not made of steel , nor diamond cut

Are you refering to my post re adding clear lacquer to the kerbed wheel? If you are then what difference does that make, the rest of the wheel stills needs protection from water getting under the remaining lacquer.

Looks like you got off lightly there Alistair, hope your okay?

That Honda sort of disintegrated didn't it compared with the SL

Yeah I'm fine. The passenger in the Honda had a sore chest as did the driver of both cars. No airbags went off in the Honda interestingly.
Roll bar operated on the SL. Both centre rear parking sensors are pushed in and possibly damaged. Left tailpipe pushed forward (mag be just the trim though pipe is also slightly crushed. Left tail light is damaged. Bumper looks like it may not be sitting quite normally.

Good news is no apparent damage to boot lid and roof still operates normally.

As it goes not too bad externally (it remains to be seen if there is any damage under the bumper).

What’s all the “soot” on the back of the SL?

I’d expect some crush damage to impact absorption bits behind the bumper unfortunately

You've not converted it to diesel have you LKW

Alistair, if you’re ok, everything else can be fixed. Sorry to see that

Had to be a 4-Ringed W Tractor that decided not to apply brakes!

Soot? Road muck....
Yes I'm expecting bent crush components when the bumpers removed.

It was indeed a tractor.
Have I mentioned I hate diesels....

2 rear tyres on the 215 , at which point i found both rear disc shields were touching the brake disc , not good ,also the central locking pump also stops the fuel flap from opening, quite a day

 

[AMGeed]

Bad luck Alistair. At least nobody was hurt.
I suspect there will be more damage revealed under closer inspection.

Good to see/hear there was no injuries and your okay Alistair.
Could have been worse, our blue SL springs to mind

Replaced fuel filter last night and got a face full of diesel as her indoors came outdoors to prime with 2nd key position to my screams of off off offfffff ffs lol
Brand new battery yesterday too!
