Phew a new MOT
« on: June 10, 2011, 09:52:12 PM »
A fresh 12 month ticket on the car today bit gutted at the price.
£50 for MOT and £16 for replacing the bulb but  :-\

Only advisory on front tyres think they need tracking, I'll get some pics up hopefully
this weekend as the car is starting to look nice (IMHO). A post has been sprayed and
sorted, full valet inside and some new mats from cyberspares (blue trim with passion
CDi script). Next job alloy refurb in a couple of weeks  ;D

Wanted to take it to Mercedes Worcester but couldn't get hold of the wife's cousin and time was running out. Ended up taking it to a garage I have used for all my cars for the past 20 years. They charge full whack but are very fair, and have never added a job just to make the work up.

A few pics. I've put the first one in "one pic of your car" section . Jobs for the rest of this summer is Grille, Alloy refurb and a session with the clay bar.



The new mats  ;D

Am liking the carpets... 8)  A good find there Mull  ;)
To re-itterate, www.cyberspares.co.uk
is the place for anyone else who may be interested.
Prices vary depending on what quality carpet you go for, and any other options.
Plain black with blue edging and embroidery works out at £20.99 (excl. p&p).
Reckon a few of us guys will be ordering on line shortly..... ;D

I'm glad you like them ;D  was nervous when I first got them as when I opened the
package they were really blue :o

However once fitted they seem to work well. Great quality and service from the suppliers.
Think mine were £35 all up.
