Nice. Never thought to put GTR wheels on a zed. Works very well!

He bought his first Merc in jan 00 on a V reg. He bought that reg and merc fitted it to both his cars from new.

Straight 6! He had the dark dash in the last one, but wanted the wood in this one. He still wanted the sports suspension, so instead of buy the Avantgarde and living with the dash, he bought an Elegance and had the sports suspension fitted and the optional wheels! Cost him a couple of grand extra just because he wanted that dash trim!

Im a massive Bmw fan, but.... My dad is into his merc's and has had a w211 from new, 9 years! Longest he's ever had a car. To be honest, its a great car, hence him not changing it. His is the E320 CDi, which is the one id buy. 220/230bhp? Its fast, comfy, 42+mpg on the motorway (he doesn't drive slow) and low 30's around town. The only problems he's had really are the injector seals, but its not an expensive fix, just changed the o rings. He's snapped a couple of coil springs, and he's had new shocks, but he drives it hard and its done 145k miles or so now. It had a new autobox under warrenty. In short, id buy one! He'll never sell his, as its worth nothing now, so he'll keep it until it dies.

Well, it got me!

First time ive seen it. Had me going for a while.

Doh, it was a link from facebook. Maybe only i can see it. What it is.. You buy a shirt for £97, but you had no money. You got £50 from your mom, and £50 from your dad. - £100. The shirt was £97, so you had £3 change. You gave your mom £1, your dad £1, and kept £1. So, you now owe your Mom £49, your Dad £49, and you have £1. Thats £99, where is the other £1???

Sorry if you we had our wires crossed. Im sure id said we'd need to see your car to give you a price of what you wanted. Cheers

How many owners has it had in the uk? How much paperwork have you got with it?

What exactly do you want to know?

He only painted the rear wheel!

I didn't know they didn't have them on mate! Yeah id get some, ive got the on my cars, only about £30 i think?

What a cnut! Is it worth asking for pictures of the damaged areas to compare to your pictures?

Yeah i saw that, crazy! Bet his sh1t himself.

Wtf??

Pm him your number, i spoke to him direct when sorting mine out.

They seem a nice car. I think id have one. Good choice!

Ive heard you can, but not sure who with. Most are 25+

Think you need to be over 30 for classicline, im sure i tried them before. Cant say enough for Footman James. Ive got 2 policies with them, and have had for a couple of years now. Im 28, and i pay £200ish. 2 years ago, my silver zed TT was £104!

The prep work will have an effect on the finished job, but if it was done properly, your wet paper and mop should do the trick.

Hmmm, depends really, but you could try a 1200 paper and gently rub it down and mop it with G3. How bad is it?

:shock:
