My SL

[Daddy-Benz]

Hi Daddy-Benz, the rear parcel shelf and rear speaker details refer to the 116 Saloons. Good luck with your work. My post was also directed at Tony's remarks in his post. Regards Styria

Cheers mate,

You did make me go out & look for a parcel shelf & speakers though...

Dunno yet Tony,

It must be on a slow boat from the US

To be honest for $160 all up I don't have my expectations set too high

I'll put up a pic when it arrives...

If they sent it USPS (US Postal service) it shouldnt be too long, I just got a carton of Volvo bits from the US in under 8 days which is the usual time.

Did you get a tracking number?

I did get a tracking number but it only says dispatched

Most stuff I get from the States for my other toys only takes 10 days but these guys are a little slow. I paid on the 18th & they shipped on the 25th

Looks like the job itself might be a PIA

I'll give it a go, worse thing that could happen is I stuff it...

Nah its not that hard to fit, just fiddly.

But its also dependant on the quality of the moulded pieces too and how much attention you pay to the old pieces as you remove them.

Which is why I used to spray dye faded but intact carpet and then buy a set of factory mats to slip overtop.

A slackarse way of doing it but they were mostly wedding etc cars.

Here's a few pics of the carpets







I don't know about the quality but for what I payed they look to be okay

I'm going to need some sort of underlay I guess

Any ideas????

I would use Dynamat - google it to find a local supplier.
It's excellent for cutting noise penetration.

I found some on eBay

Any other recommendations where a cheap ass may find some??
