Any Suggestions??
Hello All,
I am new to this forum, so please let me know if I did anything wrong.
I have a 2000 ML430 with a full AMG body kit and chrome AMG wheels on slightly over sized tires, brush bar, lights, nav, etc. It has only 60K miles, but there is a bunch of cosmetic failures going on. The chrome is failing on the wheels, a very small bit of clear coat failure, loss of a body kit fender flare, loss of the tow hitch cover, and a few very small other things.
I really like the truck, and have babied it mechanically, but am not sure if I should fix or sell. If I could figure out how to cost effectively fix the aestetics, I would love to keep.
I looked into chrome redips for the wheels, but that means being without the car for a few weeks. I can't find reasonable deals on one off's for the AMG body kit.
I'll fix the clear coat if it makes sense after the wheels and body kit.
If anyone could point me in the right direction to fix some/any of my issues it would be great.
Thanks,
Kevin

It's all with what you can live with, if it is not precisely as "nice" as you like it, sell it. The car is not giving you any mechanical trouble and you are happy Drive on.
