Glacier white, Alabaster white, and Arctic white are all different.
Glacier white (pure white) was discontinued after 2001 because consumer feedback saying it was too white, so they replaced the color with Alabaster white which is a stone white with yellow/cream hue. Now the Arctic white is in between Glacier and Alabaster in terms of shade.
you can see the upper corner. my sister's CLK is Glacier white compare to the Arctic White.

Damn it, now im confused as hell as to what to do....any suggestions?
On a side note, i am going to get my windows tinted, and I am going legal, with 35%...however the tint guy said that he applies a 50% tint film, and it darkens after being put on, and then it clocks in at 32-25% on the tint meter....is this how it always works? I don't want him to rip me off and give me a really light tint. Thanks.

i would contact the seller and see how close they can tell you the match is to your white. Maybe they carry the different shades. You never know..
good luck!!

CL Grille
Hi Guys,
Need some advice of where should i buy my CL Grill for my C230. Im leaning to get the 3 fin. Ive read in some posts that i should get the longer latch to avoid problem when dealer opens the hood but i have no idea of where to get this from...thanks for any info...

My first CL style that I bought on ebay came with the longer latch. The next grille I bought after the deer collision, did not come with the latch- but it turns out, that's because the stock shorter piece was the correct one to use.

My CL grill came with the longer latch. More than likely the one you get will come with it also.

rear tails u need to pull the back carpet back
remove all the square pins, there should be over 10.
and find four bolts with nuts holding each light in
Should take ten minutes. Save those clips!
DOnt know about the turd signals

I wanted to smoke my tails out using VHT Nite Shades....which clear coat should I use, everything i looked at isnt ment for plastic...which is what all my stuff is.
I bought some clear Dupli Color Acrylic Enamel...but the guy said it will ONLY protect the paint...not give it gloss, any suggestions?
Do I got the right stuff, or shuld i get something else?
