As Mercedes dealers also sell Smart cars we were asked by one of our regular dealers to retrofit Heated Seats to a Smart ForFour. Although we prefer to do this work in our own workshop, for logistical reasons we agreed to do this work on the dealers site within their workshops. Half a day later […]
An existing customer of ours, who has always owned Mercedes cars, has recently purchased a new 4 door Mini Cooper. He had been asking around various places to get a reversing camera retrofitted to the Mini, but wasn’t having much luck. Having previously had a camera installed by us on his Mercedes, he thought he’d […]
We received a call from a dealer just before Christmas. The car had been delivered to a customer, however the customer was under the impression it was coming with Ambient Lighting as standard. Ambient lighting uses hundreds of tiny LED’s around the car to create a coloured glow. These all need to be installed along […]
Not long after we completed the interior trim change of the C 63 AMG S, we had another call from a different dealer with a similar problem. This time on a brand new C300h. Having the previous job fresh in our minds, we were able to quickly research and order the correct colour parts. However, the trim […]
A few weeks back, a dealer came to us with a dilemma – A car that was made to order for a customer had been delivered with the wrong colour wood interior. To top it off, the centre console was missing the AMG clock. We assured him that we would be able to help him […]
Added Rear Seat Entertainment using original MB parts. Identical to factory fitted in this vehicle. Each screen has is own DVD player and cordless headphones. Also USB, RCA and AUX on each headrest. Mounts directly to seat – very solid so no vibrations. No visible wiring at all.
We love a challenge here at Braybrook’s and this one was definitely that. Replacing all of the speakers and installing the dedicated amplifier was a very time consuming task but nothing untoward! The challenge was in the wiring! Our options were to either replace the entire floor harness which runs the entire car, or build […]
The new V class is truly an Executive vehicle so luxury add-ons are common place on these cars. On this one we were asked to add mains powered sockets for charging laptops etc. We used black nickel face plates with USB sockets built in, to give a classy appearance and offer maximum connectivity. A powerful […]
A little while back we had a phone call from a customer in Birmingham with an 2011 E Class that had been in a front end collision. The bodyshop had rebuilt his car using the parts from a newer 2014 car . Only the indicators and main beam headlamps would work and there were plugs […]
An existing client recently asked us to quote for original Mercedes Parktronic parking sensors, reversing camera and a cruise control to be fitted to his new Mercedes G63AMG 6X6. Much to our surprise, and his annoyance, these weren’t standard items on a car that costs more than a lot of people’s houses!! Many e-mails flowed […]
