Modding Your Car - A Short, Practical Guide



There are some really simple ways to spruce up your older car, many of which should never happen, such as fake carbon fiber, fake hood vents ... really, fake anything. It just looks tacky and hurts your resale value. However, there are a few upgrades and cosmetic adjustments you can do yourself, without the need for a full-scale shop to enhance your ride's presence.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage.

What is the correct brand and paint code # for the red on the brake calipers?

I use VHT caliper spray paint they have different colors. I leave the calipers on I clean with brake clean mask off areas not to be painted. If you get any over spray you can clean it off with the brake clean on a rag. you will save a lot of time not RR the calipers

Speaking of calipers I have a 2003 CLK 320 the calipers on the car look like they came off an old Chevy. Any one know of any other Mercedes models that might fit with out braking the bank

This is cool but I'd rather let someone else do it for me. I've never been great at painting.
