2013 W212 E220CDI Sport

Bought my first Benz a few weeks ago, since then I have just haemorrhaged money! But in a good way

First job was a nice deep clean, took about 7 hours to get it semi acceptable, the dealership didnt valet it for me at my request. I was scared of what they might do !

Removed the chrome strips off the side, only to reveal a really poor previous repair .. Ended up peeling off half the paint

Meant only one thing.. Off to the Body shop it went !

Bought myself a new grill to remove the old chrome one



As Expected, Looked awful with the Crosshair .. Time to get a new one!





Ordered a new one from the 2017 models from my local stealership. Much prefer the black to the old blue style

Fitted some Team HEKO deflectors this evening and gave it another good wash. Pretty much how she sits at the minute
