    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

    I recently curbed the outside edge of one of my diamont cut, bi-colour amg sport plus alloys. 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...

    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

    I got one of the first w204's last June and was really happy with the look of these wheels, but i've since noticed the lacquer coating is starting to bubble around the rims. It's not THAT bad at the minute but I can see this being a big problem as time goes on. Am I likely to get any joy at...

    Poor quality paintwork?

    I was cleaning my Polar White w204 at the weekend and i've noticed for a while now that the finish of the paintwork inside the wheel arches is pretty shocking. Its on the flat surfaces of the bumpers which face into the arch and these vary from some with no paint at all on them, to some...

    My2013 C Class Car Bra's

    Yep, it's that time of the year when I start to get petrified about the paintwork. Never been a fan of car bra's but thinking of getting one this year. Has anyone bought one recently that can recommend anywhere? I've found 1 or 2 online, mostly just covering the bonnet - I wondered if...

    Evening, I'm new to the forum and not quite yet a Mercedes owner (looking to change that!). I'm just about to put a deposit down on a new C220 CDI Blueefficiency 7-G Sport Plus, but I've been told that the delivery is likely to be late/early october. I've been offered a C250 cdi...
