I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	This is very cool! I will be looking at this this evening. To anyone that is already registered, can you explain the internet part shop? Are you buying direct from Mercedes? It would be cool if I could get some small bits shipped direct, saves the arseache of the local dealers thanks Mark, appreciated!
