  • matte lacquering

    hi, I’m thinking about how to paint/paint my car next year. what I personally like would be matt black. what do you think of it, matt black jetta and then white or chrome-plated rims on it? once saw a matt olive green jetta, that looked really hammery… so I’m superior with matt black. so the car shouldn’t be a rat or something, not that you understand that wrongly. inside it should probably be completely empty and outside ebe n matt black and white stickers on it (this tuning manufacturer stickers like in need for speed underground). what do you think about it? because more striking than a normal color it is always and flip flop or something I don’t like and will not fit the style of the car.

  • Entries according to §21 (individual receipts) are invalid!

    Hello @ all as the title says, I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that the registrations according to §21 (single entry) for standard bikes are invalid. See link: wheel entries only valid with TÜV-certificates or ABE Quote from this: “The examiner may not enter any wheels that have only a strength certificate” and “Only light alloy wheels with TÜV-certificates or ABE are allowed” LG

  • Flasher for 9000 CC “Flachschnauzer”

    Moin moin, I would like to ask you for a few “addresses” where I could get the turn signals with integrated return light. I know that this is forbidden in Germany. And another question of pure interest: Is in the American version of the Saab 9000 CC with the turn signals the side yellow reflector equipped with an “active light” or is it in the Amiversion as in the European one. I think these questions have already been asked, but unfortunately I have no en thread found via the search function. Greeting, 9000i

  • What to pay attention to when handing over New Cars Proceed GT 2019

    Hello together, after search function now here my thread, what I have to pay attention to when handing over to my dealer. Proceed GT 2019, DCT, Blue Flame, everything except Protection Plus, company leasing What do you pay attention to when handing over? My previous list is: 1. Lack and interior in order? 2. Luggage net, tools and operating instructions on board? 3. Children’s diseases – tailgate flaps – door handle knarzt – middle armrest knarzt – belt detector rear – light correctly inserted lt? – Other noises that shouldn’t be there? 4. Programming – Comfort closing/opening window incl. sliding roof with key (should go) – External mirror works in reverse gear down (doesn’t work) – Hupt easily when opening & closing over the key (not sure if possible) 5. All-weather tires – RDKS running? – Air pressure fits? Some above my daily driving profile I drive back and forth directly after handover 200 km and could then possibly occur children’skra What do I still have to pay attention to or which proven peculiarities and children’s diseases I may still have to have in mind?

  • SL 500 with V/MAX!?!?!

    Moin people. I plan a little tuning on my SL this year. This also includes the VMAX at the Sl 500. I have model year 2007, so with 5.5l and 387/8 hp Currently the car is locked off at 255km/h. But… How much does that drive if it is “open”? Tires at the front 265 and at the rear 285. Had in the summer when it is well warm at 255km/h about 3500 turns. There is still something going on normal or? Who knows more about it? Bzw who is a serious company that makes the V/Max with Tüv? MfG Andre

  • Almost no SL in winter

    In recent weeks , almost months , I have seen almost no SL ( R129 and R 230 ) in Hamburg and surroundings . Thus the thesis is confirmed that this league is mainly 2.th cars and is not abused in Shit weather . In Austria and North Italy this may be different , but here in the North German low plain the Diva disappears in partially heated garages and shared feather legs . mfg ortler

  • Bad winter tires?!

    Hello together, I had recently the following incident. My girlfriend and I are with my R230 Mopf2 for skiing to St. Anton. The car was quite packed, but we had no skis with us. The problem now occurred on the Arlberg pass (if one of you should know that is such a pretty steep pass road that leads to St. Anton. However, there is still a paid tunnel, from which we only learned later.) Now it had snowed pretty much and the Str. ate was not completely cleared. I thought, as they all shot up, it will not be a problem if I drive slowly.. Wrong thought, sometime in the middle of this pass road did not go any further. We stood in the curve and have slipped further and further away. That was quite slow because the steep slope was very close… The snow cleaner behind us then recommended us to turn around and take the tunnel. This was then no problem. Now my question: What w I had winter tires from Continental, which were only put on by my MB workshop shortly before. And I have to say there are cars shot up and have overtaken me, I thought I was in the wrong movie! Everything from new 3s, 5s bmws over off-road cars to an old duck!! which apparently had no problems either… ) After that I was in my workshop and told them to watch the tires. Then the master said the Pro fil would still be 1A, but the tires were already 4 years old. He had it then that they changed their characteristics over time? Now I have completely new Pirelli tires on it and have a really good feeling up to now, where I still did not enjoy to drive up such a smooth and steep road. The tires of course had their price. Now the father of my girlfriend said that I would have been better served if I had 4 50kg heavy sandbags in the trunk Well what do you think? What might be the reason for this? MfG and good driving
