1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
Sorry bud, you're in the wrong sub-forum. You have a w204 and you are in the w203 section. Good luck with your car, though.

there are 2 types of tint film tell the shop its a lease and you want the regular film not the extra durable, the regular film will be easier to remove. it will cause no damage you will just have to wash and clean the windows before you return it...
btw, AZN has ALOTTTT more than tint done to make his car look that awesome, but from what i can tell from the pix the basic mods are, rims, tints, de-chromed, brembo brakes i think, custom exhaust with c63 tips and diffuser, front lip, custom lighting. oh yeah and you think that panda on the side of the car is easy to get, those things are going extinct...
the panda alone is about 25g's on the black market..... LMFAO

I've always tinted leased cars and have never had to remove it when returning it to a dealer. I just recently traded in a 2007 C230 for a fully equipped 2010 C300 they bought out hte last 5 payments which brought me to zero. My left front rim was bent due to the lovely DC pot holes. And my car was tinted and if anyone has had a W203 before for some reason the windows are extremely tight in the door pane and the tint can be scratched easily so the tints were also a bit scratched on the inside but the dealer didn't care.
So unless the dealer asks me to specifically remove it I would leave the tints on the car - because you finance only the depreciation on the vehicle during a lease having the car tinted won't affect the value of the car on a trade in.
With all that said I don't know if the dealer would give you grief on the turn in if you decided to walk away and not lease another mercedes, as I have always turned in to lease another vehicle. Hope that helps!
