You`ve done a great job. The CDI is a very sexy machine! I don`t recognize that wheel at all. We don`t get them in NAmerica.

wow great job

[imported_hooked]

Great turn around! If you don`t mind me asking, did you charge a fixed price or did you charge by the hour?

[Old Pirate]

Very nice indeed, great job on the Mercedes!!!

NIce work! I believe that mercedes vehicles 2005 and beyond have a special, extra hard ceramic clearcoat.

Now that is what a call a before and after job! Fantastic work, I know how the weather can be in Belgium...
