white guages on C sport package

I just got an older C 280 sport and it had white guages in the dash... I hadn't seen it in the C before and it looked kinda cool... Anyone know why the new C's didn't have that...

would anyone want it in their cars. I would be kinda iffy on it....

me personally, I would love white faced gauges. I think it gives the car a very sporty and classy look. The AMG's have them, thats the main reason that we dont.

I think it would look good if the gauges were round. I'm not sure if I would like it with the current ones.

i don't really mind the white faces but I just wish that it was amber when it's lit. I really like the blue that is on the VW's. that looks cool in the night.

i think the gas consumption is terrible on the car... i had ahalf tank of gas and I have only travelled 50 miles and already I'm at a quarter tank. that's not normal is it?

i also like the sport wheels on the older C, it also looks lower than the normal and the front and the rear are the same height unlike the new models

It is possible but it will be a tough job... then again i'm not too sure if it's possible because the slots where the light comes out maybe amber... You might post this question in the CLK forum... somoene over there may have tried it... i remember reading something about it a while back...
