I love offset.

I don't like it but its worth a look Ps - They also have AMG front bumpers for about Ł389 ex-vat.. I reckon thats approaching €600 in my money, is that a rip off or is that what it takes to get an AMG front bumper?

And they don't stock anything either. Everythings ordered in. They have a very pro looking site and a wide variety but nothing else really. They ask for Ł1700odd + VAT for a Wald W202 kit. I got a guy in Glasgow ( conections in Japan, brings in lots of Honda stuff) to import me one straight from the factory, total cost inc his cut, shipping, customs etc. Ł1250. I'd love to know how much that Expression front bumper is from manufacturer????

MercedesPerformance couldn't care less about Mercs made before 2004, and i totally believe what everyone else says about them ordering stuff in on spec, hoping that it's still being made and that they can make a quick buck.
