    Anyone have a GLC on 20" wheels? Help!

    Hi there, Recently got a GLC on the 19" wheels as I didnt fancy being tied in to the pricey run flats on the 20" (pcp). Thinking of upgrading with some aftermarket 20" wheels but am being told that the GLC should have staggered wheels... The GlC brochure lists 20" wheels with a single tyre...

    W204 Brakes - Opposed piston calipers?

    Hi, Looking to change the pads and discs on my w204 amg sport plus over the next week or so. Have seen a few DIY videos on-line and having done brake changes on my other cars in the past it seems straight forward. However, I haven't seen a video or write up on the sport plus model which...

    W204 Dynamic Handling Pack Grille

    I'm looking to change my single chrome bar CKS grille for something different. Either the CKS C63 style grille or ideally the Dynamic Handling Pack Grille from MB. Does anyone know if this is available for purchase from MB and has anyone bought one? I saw a photo of one on here a while ago and...

    Ceramic Brake Pads - worth doing?

    The front discs on my w204 are on their way out and its fair to say I'm disappointed with their life (they have worn quite a lot faster than the first set of pads!). For this reason alone I am wondering whether there are better parts out there than the OE discs? I've seen a couple of guys...

    Pristine Alloy Wheel - diamond cut alloy refurb Review

After enquiring locally (north east england) with various wheel refurbers i discovered that there aren't too many companies with the specialist equipment to diamond cut the front face of the wheel like...

    W204 compatible alloys - is offset critical?

    I'm looking to buy a set of winter tyres and cheap wheels. MB quoted me 1400 for a set of 17 inch with dunlops but i wanted to shop about. I've found many sets online that say they fit the car perfectly but most are a 7.5jx17 45 ET, i note the manual recommends an offset of ET47. What would be...

    My2013 c coupe sports plus modifications

    Dead easy to do. Watch a few youtube videos on it, specifically those that tell you to disconnect the air intake pipes etc. I found those ones to be the easiest way to do it. Good luck

    Cks grille w204

    Evening, i purhased one of these for my MY13 w204 and it came today. I've wasted no time in fitting it but i'm slighy disappointed that it doesnt seem to fit right to the edges along the vertical sides... Has anybody else had this problem? I note the box it had come in says 'for w204 '07-on'...

    Back to the drawing board - model and spec ideas please folks...

    Evening, I've yet to get the official verdict but suspect my c250cdi sport plus may be written off... I'm not sure what to look at getting instead if its written off and wanted to call on some of your experiences and knowledge. I quite fancy the same car again but with a pano roof and...

    AMG Sport Plus Alloys

    Mines in tomorrow for replacement of all four. The dealer knew of a problem and mercedes signed it off within 2 days. It could have been a chip, i don't know... But as all 4 are bubbling I'm guessing its probably all linked. Hope you all get sorted out.

    Anyone used peanut butter to clean non painted trim?

    Ive used it before to put the colour back in the handles of a saab. It lasts quite a few weeks, put it on allow the oils to soak in for 5-10 mins and wipe off. You might need a couple of applications! Its worrying its gone patchy so quickly! Did it get exposed to any harsh cleaning fluid or...
