How much did you get quoted for the liner ?

i think we're going to go with AMG C32 17" staggered wheels for ZQ's sport sedan and swap out the MB 4-piston calipers with the same AMG 4-piston calipers. Also, swapping out the B-Pillars with old school AMG C32 B-Pillars.
If only I could find the old C32 AMG spoiler that Mr. Weidermann had on his C32... hmmmmm.....

My bad, Carlos. I just saw this now. Last time I checked, the bigger spare wheel piece was around $20. I was just too lazy and didn't want to order it from the dealership close to me because their prices are always inflated compared to others out of state. Here is the thread:

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ull+size+spare

Information was provided courtesy of mj50 and BlakeP!

As for the trunk liner, I haven't gotten a quote on it yet.

Hmm, my 07 has only 1 handle. Not sure when you would ever use those handles unless you wanted to close the trunk with yourself in it

Actually, the extra handles come in very handy for my daughter who can't reach the top handle on the trunk lip. That makes it all worth it.

Attended the Mercedes-Benz Club of America Channel Islands, Long Beach-South Bay, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego & San Gabriel Sections Regional Driving Event at the Astor Classics Event Center in Anaheim, CA, and completed the Mercedes-Benz Defensive Driving School on April 15th.

My instructor was Frank Cozza, MBCA National Events Committee Chairman.
He taught me how to handle the car and improve my ability behind the wheel in an emergency situation. Quick reaction time drills, high-speed full braking, intensive slalom, and evasive break, release & turn maneuver.

Here's a pic of my high-speed full brake run on Saprissa's C-Coupe:


Here's my completion certificate:


and here's my souvenir MBCA safety cone:


Tons of fun !

W203 Heckdeckel USA mit Griffmulde ( Part # A 203 690 5341 )
- made by BORGERS
I pulled the liner back out, and here are the pics:







Finally, here's a quick pic I took of the Euro Warning Triangles. The one on the left is the new version (Part # A 203 890 0197), the one on the right is the old school model. I forgot to jot down the part # for the latch that holds the triangle to the trunk lid... sorry my bad. It's a EURO ONLY part.
