    The paint is not flawless, and it can`t be. The car has been used as a cab/taxi, and have around 300 000km on the speedo

    Thanks for taking lotsa pics like always :D. The beading shot looks good. Man you'd expect a Mercedes is always being taken care of but that's not always the case :(. I think my interior is as bad as that lol. What's with the tow hooks? I've seen them the past 2 details you posted :eek:

    Great work pirex. I am loving the combo of 106ff and JetSeal. I love the blue and the beading is insane! Interior was a mess and he accomplished that since May? Great work on the interior as well.

    Always enjoy reading your posts buddy, loving the pictures. The vehicle looks great, wow 300K on it that's one sweet looking vehicle.

    I've noticed that alot of European country's use high end vehicle as Taxi's I wonder why? Is it to impress people? Or just because they can?

    You know I like blue and the beading is wicked :righton: the reflection is very nice too :thumb:

    The drive home pictures look nice too bro, man do you live in a castle or something ;) Is that the appartment/condo you moved in to?

    Klumzy: Thanks :D

    Calgary: Thanks bro, glad you liked it

    Nica: Thanks for the kind words bro :) Yeah, its mainly Mercedes E-class for taxis here in Norway, you can buy them without all the taxes, so its about the half price for a normal E-class in Norway. And I guess they need a big car :D

    Oh, yeah..thats the new appartment ;)
