What to do with $300 Credit/Gift Cert at MB??

Hi Everybody,

New to this forum, my name is Trung. There's alot of great information on here and it's nice to see everybody stylin' out their rides. I have a question and would appreciate your feedback.

If you had a $300 (I know it ain't much ) what would you get OEM for a w203 @ MB??

Thanks!!

Trung

use it towards service A, and maybe a license plate frame.

What year is your car?

2001-2006 - Get the C230K or C55 trunk spoiler
2007 - Get the Eurotrunklid and Euro Impact Strips (was trying to find the part numbers for you, but couldn't find them).

That's my take.

Update your profile and signature to indicate it, so people won't have to ask you when you ask questions like that.

Since you have a 2004, I'd definitely go with the trunk spoiler.

I'm out of warranty and I use those certificates to purchase any parts that the car might need. The best prices are the online dealerships and you can email/fax the certificate to them.

A driver's seat control module is $300 and it will fail eventually... just a thought.

The best OEM part would be the 2005+ coupe tail lights.
If you don't have the coupe, but it for someone who has *wink* *nudge*

Hi kevybear,

The dealership made a mistake while transfering the vehicle to me. So I told them it was their fault, and they should comp me. Not sure it would work all the time but it was their error and I'm sure the manager felt bad bout it.

If modding isn't your thing, a spare set of brake pads + rotors might be a good idea.
