Yes Michel, I noticed your new spoiler. How could I miss it on Sunday when you pointed it out to me!!! It looks wonderful. Fantastic. Superb. And it is soooo red. :D
Now, all you need is a matching rear deck spoiler about 30cm high -you know, like you see on a WRX from Marrickville? :eek:
Regards,
BenzBoy

How does one make the lower grille fit? My car still has no lower grille fitted, I haven't tried and I'm all out of ideas...

Although Styria AND parks both said that I needed to 'trim (cut) the grille to fit, I just simply bent it into place.

Do it gently and it will slip behind the spoiler

Mine fitted with care - I also added some rubber to the mounting to stop it from rattling.

Bill

P.S. Michel - I take it you fixed your radiator and cooler.
I did examine my 6.9 and 4.5 coolers and comments about these are in the original thread you started - nice to know they are an exact swap.

Well, I certainly noticed it, but did not have the opportunity to really discuss it with you - family and yourself disappeared far too quickly back into the Club for lunch.

I really think that the front spoiler enhances the frontal appearance considerably. Not for the purist, I know, but I certainly like them.

There is a rear deck spoiler I have on hand with the compliments of Michel who gave it to me some twelve months ago. Every so often I ponder at the idea of fitting it to Gleaming Beauty. On the other hand, I am also considering of having some made up as with the front spoiler - is there enough interest by members if I was to further investigate this matter ? Regards Styria

I note that Carshine appears to still have some Lorinser side skirts available.

Edit - Correction; I just cheacked and they are advertising a Ludwig front, side and rear kit for $1995.
http://www.carshine.com.au/ Go to Mercedes. Go to 'other models.'

Michel your car really looks great, the spoiler on these cars does enhance them without being over the top or vulgar.

Side skirts I am led to beleive are the same as a W126 AMG, unsure if the length is the same though.


Michel now all you need is some chrome wheel arch trims and some big wheels.

I think these wheels would look nice on Michel's 690SEL

hi B13, I just cut a little bit of the ends of both of them, screw the middle on and then mark and cut, by cutting them they will be flush with the spoiler, but in saying that Michels look fine with them tucked in behind on the sides aswell...regards Parks

My ends are tucked in as well.

I have used soft rubber above and below the centre joint which is not visible to dampen any rattles (It rattled before I did this)

Michel! I love your spoiler:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

I always knew one would look uber cool on the 690.

Interesting how two of you tucked the sides of the grill in. I wouldn't have been able to match the mounting points but that's a guess. I got one more so when I do fit it, I'll have to test. Just need a w116 worthy for fitment.

BTW, I thought you already had bling wheels, what happened?

Thanks for the compliments... :eek:

I wanted to 'Bling' wheels, but the guy who was selling them stuffed me around after damaging them. So we couldn't agree on a price..

I'm still looking...
I've been told by the owner of ASV Europarts to go and pick the wheels that I'd like from his yard... (at a mate's rate).....
I'll be going early next week. :p

I also love your spoiler Michel, very well done, and I also agree how much they enhance the front of these cars. Just magnificent :)

Unfortunately I still haven't got around to fitting my spoiler to my 350SE :eek:.....I think I wanna get the car repainted before I do, but that could take a while.

Somewhat off topic (naughty boy!), has anyone noticed Michel's new Avatar ? Please, oh please, can we have the original one back ? Pay-back time !

Des, those Zender rims look great and they would really set off and enhance the appearance of Michel's 690SEL. A guy from Bright in Victoria had them on his 450SEL when we changed over the upholstery in his car. They looked absolutely sensational.
