Anytime mate,

It's amazing what Rims can do to a 'G', I  remember when there weren't so much choice of wheels available some years back, now theres a whole load of them.

I reckon if you put the DRL lights on the Headlamp covers it will look ssssiiicccckkk!

And put the later rear lights LED version. (Just a suggestion).

Re: Another new owner lovin the G.

yeah thats true,i went 100 mile journey to see gordon of G restorations near blackpool,drove a treat all motorway aswell,i was thinking with the 22*s on it would find all the pot holes and make the steering wander a bit..but not at all and a lot less noisy than the all terrain tyres..it never missed a beat,heater like a wood burnin stove,big cumfy lazy boy seats,and i aint going to get emotional on the petrol consumption either..surprisedon all the attention they get,few videos being took by passers by..and i think you may be right about the DRLs..

Re: Another new owner lovin the G.

I must say that does look rather nice!

Always wondered about the rear spoiler, but looks discreet and sets of the end of the G. On top of the LED's that were mentioned above, a nice centre lit Mercedes badge would set it off....
