A regular customer of ours asked if we could retrofit the original Head-Up display into his much loved GLC. The thought of chopping a great big hole in the top of his dash filled us with dread but here at Braybrooks we love a challenge. And this one most certainly was. The entire dash was […]
Another existing customer that also owns a Mercedes wanted a reverse camera added to his VW Golf. Rather than “stick” a camera to the tailgate we decided to use integrated camera in a motorised handle that ‘pops out’ when reverse gear is selected. A dedicated module was installed behind the radio to allow an integrated image […]
After finding us on Google, a recent customer contacted us to discuss his 2011 E class Cabriolet that had been rebuilt with all facelifted parts. Because the car didn’t ‘recognise’ these newer parts, none of the lights worked so we were commissioned to get the car and the new lights to ‘talk’ to each other. This […]
Recently, a specialist car tuning company that we have dealt with recommended a customer of theirs to us to look at an issue that was causing them concern. This particular C63 was being tuned and lightened for maximum performance. Part of this work involved removing the rear seats and the relevant seat belts. After doing […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
