Red C With Chrome Door Handles (Lots of Pics)

Well, chrome door cavities, anyway. Picked them up from my dealer for $78 and installed them myself. They were very quick and moderately painless to install. However, when you are doing this, it is best to have another person there - 1 to hold the door handle open and another to affix the cavity. 1 of mine didn't set quite right - I may have to take it off forcefully but for now, I can deal. Either way, here are some random pics of my car. I think that the cavities are just the right amount of chrome to finish off the C's sexiness. That being said, I wish that MB would put that little chrome strip on the top of the door handle like they do with higher models in the US and upper levels of every model else where in the world!

Looks good, but I'm not a fan of the way the pano-roof looks when the glass is slid all the way back Good looking mars car no the less.

The handles look a little tacky IMO. Not just on your car, but on any mercedes that sticks those things on.

Get rid of the orange side markers (paint them red) and get rid of the tint on your windshield and you get

Hmm.... I've got chrome on the top part of my door handle. Is it because I have Keyless-Go?

what I don't like about the pano roof is the way the wind reflector was made.

Love the car and personally I think the cromedoor really pull the whole car in. With the crome line at the bottom the the door and the crome trim around the window plus the door handles looks great. If I was you i would get the grill painted mars red as well... really make it 'Pop'.

Now as for my own question, as 'nooby' as it might be. The panoroof does stick out I can see, but in my car the 'sunroof?' sticks inside the roof and is hidden when open. I also have P2 package, does this meen I have a 'normal sunroof'?

I'm not quite sure why, but it seems to only be the US models that omit that bit of chrome!
