Definitely NOT recommended.
You are driving a Mercedes- not a Honda Civic.
If you like the color- have your calipers powder-coated or use the caliper paint kit.
As far as the technical reason- they accumulate brake dust and will prevent brake cooling. They mount to the calipers using a high-temp silicone adhesive and is almost imposible to remove if you ever need brake service.

They are plastic pieces glued on to the caliper, think will it be safe when one of them come off when you are doing 80mph+?

Sorry if the responses were somewhat harsh but it seems everyone has your best interest in mind.
