Looks nice is that Palladium Silver, and does it have the Becker Map Pilot and is that 7 digit postcode?

Hi Sweetpea

MB tell me there are over 2000 changes over the old model, The headlights are a suttle little change over the old w204 i quite like them i will give them a thumbs up

Very nice not seen a new elegance yet but I like that! Had a 220 cdi sport last week as a courtesy car - have a feeling i'll be having it back soon, really great car though so no complaints from me

 

[jonnymerc]

Hi artyman yes it has the beckermap pilot, was`nt sure if i should get comand or becker then they told me the price becker all the way

Yes it has 7 digit postcode i miss the speed camera warning that my tom tom does

 

[jonnymerc]

[jonnymerc]

Did you end up getting a buyer for those wheels John?

The interior is such an improvement over the last gen 204

 

[jonnymerc]

Hi Sweetpea not yet got them on 3 forums had 2/3 interested but would not fit there model i think it was w203 and a w211 class

 

[jonnymerc]

Could`nt agree with you more Steve a vast improvement over the old w204

 

[Deleted member 37751]

I would love them on mine but I'm pretty sure they won't fit.


How much are you wanting for them, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[jonnymerc]

hi Sweetpea £700 and that's a bargain, no kerbing at all tyres have done only 4000 miles 6 1/2 to 7 mm of tread 4 wheels and tyres and 1 spacesaver wheel and tyre need to clear the garage so if you know anyone

Hi John. That looks splendid. You must be well chuffed. Well done! I agree that this version looks a big improvement.

Could`nt agree with you more Steve a vast improvement over the old w204

And a vast improvement on the interior of the current W212.

hi Sweetpea £700 and that's a bargain, no kerbing at all tyres have done only 4000 miles 6 1/2 to 7 mm of tread 4 wheels and tyres and 1 spacesaver wheel and tyre need to clear the garage so if you know anyone

That's a good price, only a 1/3 of what they should cost...

I'd love them on mine, I really would, it's such a shame they won't fit.

Hi John You must be well chuffed

Hi Corned i have had it 2 days i have had a big smile on my face for 2 days

I think i better put my name down for every GTG in the calender to give me a good excuse to drive it

Hi Jonny,
Did you make any comparisons between the Elegance and the Sport? I have a C350CDI Sport and the performance is fantastic but I think the lowered suspension comprises the ride somewhat. I guess I'm more into comfort than performance now. Any views?

 

[jonnymerc]

Hi Mercy 1

I did look at the SE, ELEGANCE and the SPORT i came to the conclusion at my age i will go for the burl walnut and not the aluminium trim

Performance is not at the top of my list these days, It was once but the old elegance as got a bit of speed with a bit of comfort
