I mean they are handy when you're spannering. You can keep all the tools you need on the flat wings. The tool roll should go under the passenger side of the dash on a couple of rubber bungee things when not in use.
I miss the space in that car, it's very light and airy inside. The ride is great too. If I had £80k the pro version with the aluminium interior is a nice version. The G63 seems a bit too dark and techy inside.

Never had to do the headlining. I bought one with a good interior, turns out that was the best thing about it!
The heater blower is a bitch, I think that's a whole dashboard out. While you're there you should sort out the wiper motor washers because that's a weak spot on those. Although the bodywork looks good on yours so maybe they are not to bad.
I liked the original seats, used to take the bench seat out for large loads. I realised a couple of years in that I should have bought the LWB though. Mine used to get around 12mpg, idling in traffic was a factor.
Thing I loved about it was being able to work underneath it without jacking it up. I had to buy loads of larger spanners and sockets though, everything is a bit more truck like. Mercedes engineers hated them because it's a Puch chassis with a Merc engine so there are plenty of annoying places where bodywork and bolts interfere. Wings are perfect for the tool roll though.
