I just installed a set of WeatherTech grey "FloorLiners" in my C300. The pictures on their web site do not show the correct liners, but they are the right ones and fit perfectly. They snapped right into the retaining clips and should do a good job of protecting the carpet from salt and grime during the next few months of winter weather. The black carpet was already showing some white salt stains, so these were a "must have" for me.

Did you get the rear ones as well? Pictures of those?
thanks!
EDIT: nevermind...I see they are not (yet) available for the C
Did you consider mats by any other brand (including Mercedes mats, if they were available at the time of purchase)? If you did consider other brand mats, what persuaded you to purchase WeatherTech mats?
The WeatherTech mats do look better than the Mercedes mats. They also seem to offer more protection. They are made like a tub that fits around the footrest for the driver's left foot. The Mercedes mats are simply cut out for that footrest, like the summer mats.
I've had very good luck with WeatherTech products in the past, and I wanted as much protection from salt and gravel as possible. After just a few days of snow and ice here, the carpet was already filthy and showing some white crust from all the salt.
They are lightweight and have some flex, plus the fit is really perfect. The price, at $109.95, was also reasonable.
The company does list universal trunk liners, but no rear mats for the W205. I have no idea if they intend to add the rear mats or not, but I'm sure an email to them would get a quick response and answer to that question.
I would have two questions before buying FloorLiners.
Do you have an idea when rear floor protection will be proposed for the 2015 C-class Sedan ?
What about the cargo floor protection from WeatherTech ?
Regards.
I got them both (though I still don't have the car. They both appear excellent. Note: Unlike most cars the cargo liner for the driver wont avoid all soiling since the accelerator is floor hinged, however its still as good as it possibly gets. FOr the rear I'm simply going to keep the Mercedes all weather mats, they are fine too. Weather liners are more useful for the front since they cover more of the foot well, in the rear there isn't really a foot well as such so feet go mostly flat on the floor instead of to the sides.

StanNH, just wanted to say that you made a perfect choice and your grey floor liners looks great! Its really nice to see that brand we carry proved again that they are the best.
I cant stand having water and salt stains laying around the carpets, at winter, I always use the more rugged Mercedes OE mats in my Mercs, they have deep grooves to catch dirt and grime and they soak up any excess water, and they are much better to look at than the stock rubber mats or the mats pictured above.
Those look ideal Stan and exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. My office carpark has a thick coating of salt laid down at even the slightest suggestion of snow or ice. Needless to say it makes a daily trip into the car on my shoes.
My C Class is due to arrive in 2 weeks so it would have been nice to have a set ready.
Unfortunately the UK WeatherTech site is showing the 2014 C Class, righthand drive version as not being available/currently under development.

I agree that the floor liners are far from eye candy. That's why I was wondering about a color choice that makes them more obvious.
But, as long as there are colors, there will be preferences!
The same thing with the leather interior on the 400, either red or pale gray. Both look great though the red is more "cool". However the red is too "pimp" for a daily driver for me. My dad had a black LTD II company car with red interiors, I could swear the "working girls" stared at it every time we drove by wondering who that unknown pimp was!!!

I did think of trying that C4004matic but then I realised that they would be for a lefthand drive car when mine is righthand drive!
Now that makes sense!!! I keep forgetting that you guys drive on the "wrong" side!
Makes me wonder, now that the British car manufacturing is basicly gone, do you think you guys will ever switch to the "appropriate" side like the other 90% of the world? I 've always thought that driving on the left was in part a kind of protectionist endeavor.

I've always thought that it might make sense if we did switch but the practicalities of it rule it out.
Ignoring "big bang" day (literally!) when people had to go out and drive on the other side of the road for the first time, the costs associated with the infrastructure changes would be huge.
Traffic signs pointing the wrong way, overhead gantries on motorways, unsuitable slip roads, instant depreciation on RHD cars, etc, etc.
I guess we'll just have to stay as we are and do without floor mats

Just let Labor back in. They can justify it as economic stimulus!

Iceland and Sweden did it 40 years ago...
The savings to the consumer associated with buying RHD cars may (at least partially) offset any additional costs (I'm assuming that it's a reason as to why cars cost so much more in the UK).
