What did I do with my Crossfire today ?

I went and hit a pothole and ruined driver front rim. (Believe it or not, the tire is still good)

so, I’m looking for a rim like the one below. Name your price….and thank you

 

Is what happens with an aluminun rim and a very low profile tire. A 70 would have probably bounced. Am SLK320 has 16s.

 

They have new ones on Ebay.

 

Correct. Some earlier versions of the R170 even had 15" wheels while the SLK32 AMG had 17". So the world is his oyster!

 

$50 and up or call 5 pages of front wheels

Picked 2-5 quart jugs mobil1 today for $36.00/jug at Canadian Tire

50% off. That’s a smoking hot price

 

Thanks much for the link, DSKMail. !!!!!

……..got it from NH and it ships Monday

 

Picked it up from the shop where they replaced the washer reservoir. Cannot overstate the benefits of being able to clean the windshield when needed. Put on the interior cover/tonneau cover, fits nicely, looks good, and it fits easily into the gear bag in the trunk. We have a date with some bug remover in a little while.

 

Used a 3M headlight restoration kit to make my headlights look brrand new. I have not driven at night yet, so I havn't seen the improvement yet in headlight brightness.

And yes, there is an "easter egg" in that photo. I did not notice myself until after I used the kit.

 

That kit is the one I use & always get great results. Headlight lense looks great! Nice Job!

 

I've got an extra - in Ohio

An extra rim, Turbo ?

 

Hey all, Today I removed both seats, vac'd the interior and then partially installed harnesses (side mounted each side), the rear mounts in the boot space I haven't cemented a plan for as yet...
Time will tell (roadtest) if I need to swap out the factory seats for aftermarket buckets in order for harnesses to safely work (not for track just aesthetics - daft I know).
More black leather with yellow stitch items on route to cover the back pillar, door handles etc etc.

 

Put one of these around my rear license plate. Had a cool plate frame that started to rust and I said screw that and went with this now. No scratching, no rusting. Plate slips inside with the use of the provided tool and it is a tight fit.

 

I went and changed out the faded emblem on the hood. Rarely do I see a Crossfire that has anything but a faded front emblem on the cars given the age.

So I bought one on eBay and found the easiest way to is to just take a drill bit and drill right where the RY of CHRYSLER is. Don't drill too deep but don't worry it's hollow behind there..
Then you can take a screw driver and just peel off the rest of the old emblem. I then used some rubbing alcohol and Goo-Gone to clean the area.
New emblem had doubled sided tape but I found it wouldn't fit with the tape and also wasn't sure if it holds up in the sun.
Ended up using a silicone adhesive and just placed the new emblem. Was super quick and looks beautiful.

Now if I could only find one that fits the trunk. So far the trunk would need the whole wing replaced. Those are readily available and are just glued in also. But the emblem is smaller so not sure if I can ever find that one.
Good news is that one is in pretty great shape cause the SRT wing gives it shade lol.

 

I've had these Crossfire replacement emblems on my car for 4 years still look new. wheel caps, front/rear key fob, steering wheel etc. Coupe or roadster design , they may also have the Chrysler logo

Website is amazing! I get lots of stuff from them. They can make a perfect replica of the Chrysler emblem - just gotta ask them to print on golden paper and looks like the original one that came on the back of the keys. I use those for my replacement key fobs.

 

Had this for years...

 

This vendor sells emblems of various sizes that fit both the front & back of the Crossfire. Similar but different. CLICK

 

You just have to look around the internet. Here's one on eBay with Quirk Parts: CLICK
