Talking Proud owner

Hello guys!

I'm a proud owner of a C 240. I use to drive a ford expedition. What a change from a wopping V8 to a V6. Not to bad, I enjoy the luxury. I got several swirly marks on my wood trim recently, does any one know how to buff those out or who to take them to??

Welcome to the forums! Glad you enjoy your new Benz, just like most of us do Regarding your swirl mark question, I recommend you search the forums or check the "Detailing & Automotive Care"-forum. That subject has been discussed in several threads.

Were did you purchase your grille?? I got mine from preformance products. It looks like the same grille on the coupe. Thanks for your reply to my post

mh dezent grill

is your grill exactly the same? notice that the star is alot bigger than the normal sport grills. yes, there is two grills with a star made for c sedans. one is the sport grille which the star is about the same size as the coupes and goes for around $200-250. the other is the mh dezent grill (bigger star) that ranges from $550 (thats what i paid, shipped to my door from germany (mh-d))- as high as $700 or more. i believe that performance products is the one that has the highest price for the mh grills. i also heard it took them forever to get them to their customers. if u have the mh grill, did u have to wait for yours? i know evosport claimed it was the only authorized dealer in the u.s. and some people there haven't even receive their grills. some even waited up to 3 months.
