A few questions

Can anyone help me out with these:

Will 19" AMG CLS500 wheels fit a W203 without any problems? My buddy is getting 20's for his CLS and wants to give his current wheels to his little brother.

Is the flat hood badge supposed to fit inside the indented portion of the hood or is should it cover it? I just recieved mine yesterday and it looks larger in diameter than the star thats there.

I'm looking at the CL style grill on ebay right now. Are there any that are better/worse than others? My benz is silver and I want to get the silver with a little chrome and have seen them for about $225.00 shipped.

I have a 06 230SS purchased from MB laguna niguel this past december. When should I change my oil? I have heard that the car will inform me of any maintence.

for the wheels, check the offset.
it is a number on the back of the wheel.

for the grille, i'll sell you mines for $200 shipped.
its black and will look great on a silver car.
perfect condition

Thanks for the reply.

I was actually looking for this grill....



I like the silver behind the chrome. But who knows I heard a noise of something hitting the car while driving to work this morning and saw my windshield cracked about 10" long started on the right side edge. So I might take you up on that offer just to save some $$$.

the CLS wheel will not work on the W203. You will need spacers and then the offset will be all wrong and you will need fender rolling.

the black grille above and the silver grille are the same one. just different color.

Exclamation Will not work

Wheels from S , CLS , CL ... Will NOT work on C class

Only E class will work with some very minor mods.
