2009 side view mirror

is showing the new CLC side view mirror on the c sedan... Although I think this is a photoshop in since the front page pix is exactly identical as before.

Yeah, each video clip of it driving around shows the regular mirrors but some of the stills show the CLC mirrors... I'm just not feeling those mirrors. I do like their interior w/ the cloth/leather combo though.

Its funny..I was dead set on thinking the C would get these new mirrors seeing how all the other new models were getting them..CLS..SLK..E...GLK..ect. But then the 2009 models rolled out and they had the same mirrors, what is curious is the C mirrors ended up on the ML and GL...maybe MB thinks the C is a truck.

In europe any factory build car you order will get the new side view mirrors. They came out with a special C class build "blue efficiency " models. the C180 and the C220CDI i think.
From now on all new modules , regardless of the engine will have the new mirrors.
For us in europe if we need the old mirrors replaced with new that would cost 500 euros. These mirrors can be placed on the exsisting C modoles with no problem.
Information confirmed by the MB dealer. ( Maybe Valid only for Europe )
Personally I like the new ones not any better than the old ones. I have seen them in real life and they look more boxier than the old ones. The size of the mirror inside is the same it just if you look from the side the new mirror casing looks a but more fat and square. which is not better than the current. The only attractive thing is the signal lights. They look better though then the current.

Have seen the "NEW" mirrors also, last week. But it was not what i expected... The size is almost the same, and i dont know about the turn signals...
My dealer was suprised what i have done to my mirror to make them look smaller.

New mirrors
It's also possible that the new reduced size and shape was in response to the wind noise complaints.
I'm ready to order as soon as it's confirmed that the upper part will fit on the fixed portion. The other question will be, will they still fold?
More info needed.

I am now told that the mirrors come pre-painted so when ordering, your car's paint code will have to be supplied.

The size is actually not that reduced. its almost the same. I have seen then in person side by side.
Yes they will fit on your existing new C and also they will fold in as well, depending you already had the option for fold ins. Here in Netherlands we had to buy extra option to get the fold in mirrors + auto Dim feature at night.
