I have the light grey interior, and the grey floor mats quickly became soiled. I replaced them with MB charcoal mats. The color contrast is nice and they don't show dirt nearly as much.

If you are worried about eventual resale, get the Java mats that go with the car. Leave them in the box, and buy some Weathertech Java rubber floormats. They work great and you can wash them with a hose.

Is it what the car had, that they 'gave away' ? I would tell that I want what the car had....or go talk to the manager. Black or gray is not going to go well with that interior. But I agree with Bob, weathertech makes great all-weather mats.
Or you can go to ebay and look up all weathermats . I purchased a really nice set of black Mercedes all wx for $67 bucks. My car is two-tone though...black w/the white inserts though.

Ask the dealer management if they want to change their mind. If not, then ask them for the regional MB manager so you can ask that person it they want to change the dealer's mind for you.

Sheesh, the mats come with the car, color-coded from Germany. Grey does NOT look good with a Java interior. If the dealer wants to dork with you, escalate till you get what you want.
