[urq] urq Digest, Vol 115, Issue 17

Wed May 29 12:47:42 PDT 2013

To all,
My son currently joined his friends tuning shop where they performing upgrades on all Mercedes/AMG cars.  They just purchased very nice CNC machine which they using to fabricate many nice parts for expensive cars where clients are looking for better performance. They were asking me if I know of anything which can be done on the URQ sides which is not available through the dealer ( we all new, almost nothing is available ) and could be made by them. Both are very good with AutoCad were they were able to produce already more than 100 different parts for Mercedes cars.,
Any thoughts, ideas what could I ask them to do for us? Lets crate a list of things with high priority items and I could ask them to run some production :)
Regards
Roman W.
