My baby is starting to rust. Any idea what the best way to deal with it is? Anyone else experience this problem yet? :'(

I had that problem too. Its not worth it to fix it on our cars, cause it will just come back the next year. Our doors and fenders are poorly designed so water and crap always collects on the edges. Best solution would be to get new doors and new fenders, or a get a new car cause it just keeps coming back

Rust only in region where you have snow and road salt. No rust here in LA.

The later cars - you guys with 03s and up - shouldn't see rust. The cars were properly galvanized. It is the early W203s that were not and that rust.

Hello Guys! I've just bought a set of MB CLS wheels in size 18". I am hesitating to put them on the car but anyway they are beautyful...
I am not sure that there is enough space for the 9,5 inches on the back.

Go to the wheel thread, there's quite a few running cls wheels, you'll need shorter lug bolts. The wheels will fit, if you have the sports package you'll need a spacer to clear the caliper, 3 mm will do.
