well nothing as of yet, and the reason I bought from them is because the chrome shells match the numbers at parkplace, formymercedes has different shells, and I think these are better

autoblz does not have much in the ways of the w202, but the one thing I did like about them was the cheap price for the chrome around headlight and tail light good price for two, hopefully its not something ****ty

oh really? but it seems to be a common item, the chrome shells so I thought they would have it in stock, but i did find some online store that is good https://ssl.kundenserver.de/s8438747...dex.shopscript they have items i've never seen before, like the chrome around the gauges and the chrome around the coor pins, which are cheaper than formymercedes, Yes i know 16 bucks for that little thing is way to over priced, but if you have cash to spare its cool, and the wood trims is also a nice look, but i don't know if all that wood would like nice, looking it piece by piece it looks nice but all that blur wood, might look weird overall good site with lots of chrome items that i will most likly waste my money on at one time, I always hoped to get my car as modded as koolvin or steve, i guess if i keep it long enough it might happen, but thanks for the tip, I found it weird about it being free, thats good to know

still nothing I am going to call them as soon as their stores hours seem like they would be open, so in about 10 hours or so, I am calling up my credit card company to let them know what is going on, so if they decide to use my card or just not send me the stuff. I have sent about 10 emails to each email they have on the site, and called once only to have a guy say the owner is not in the country, which isn't a good sign, and that he has no idea what is going on, and playing dumb. the difference is clear between these shells and the ones at formymercedes look at the pictures, there is a difference. Also the numbers do not match, if they did I would buy from formymercedes, that guy is great to deal with, if anyone else knows anything I should do, let me know, thanks, also would the stealer have this product?

You need to be patient
give the seller a time
they prolly are power seller
they have large volume of sales

if you think you couldn't be patient
i suggest you demand a refund if they really charge your credit card
if not just call up your credit card and tell them your situation so there is a chargeback

Huehuehe
anyway good luck dealing with him

just my opinion of course

just my opinion, Kan. That probably isn't worth too much, but I think it looks a bit tacky. If you like them though, by all means, get them. Your car should look the way you think it should. By the way, I got those AMG Pedals from formymercedes today. The do require drilling to install, but they look really nice. If you want I'll post a picture of them. out

by all means I want to see how they look, I was seriously thinking about buying those before I got the slk/sl pedals, but I didn't want to drill, also now I don't really want anything AMG on my car, they're *******s, I talked to a guy at RPM rev and he said since AMG didn't make parts for the c280, they could custom make you springs shocks breaks ect, and it would be the same price if I had the Brabus springs brought over from Germany, but when he called them, they gave him **** and got pissy at him, so no AMG things for me. I do like to get the opinion of everyone before I do anything though, because I know sometimes when I look back in retrospect I become aware that some things I shouldn't have put on or bought, I have not seen too many pics with them on but if anyone has them, again, post them up.
