There are only a very small handfull of mfg making kits out of polyeurythane (Carlsson and Brabus are ones) for a benz.

Why do you think I'd passed on thme in the first place? But I think it must be good stuff, they are a reputable firm and even mods Lambos and Ferraris.........dang man, can't wait to see a white Turbotuner II! But is this just the flavor of the week.......I thought it was Loriser the last time we spoke

Shud be OK but I think the sharper front skirt might go better with some other skirt that has a more angular design e.g. Fabulous, or Brabus (for the W210)...check this out and hurry up, I'm waiting for u to do a white one!:

Back on the topic, Alex I think that AutoCouture kit is Phat man! You need to hook that up because the black one disappeared. I've been talking to Ted, the guy who sold it the last time and he even commented that the guy who bought the car just disappeared...

Nope, from what Ted knows the car rarely got driven when it was bought and sat in the new guys garage. Ted doesn't know what happened from then on...
