That's very nice. I don't see many of those in the US. When I finally buy my country mansion in the UK, I will get one.

I saw those yesterday, but I am looking for ones with a "carbon fiber" look to match the mirror cover and rear spoiler I am getting. (Maybe wrap them?)

There is a lot of these in Europe. Actually I think they are more common than the Sedan...

Doa, did you have to remove the existing OEM insert or does the clip on have one just like it.

I don't want to lose the vented grille look.

I wonder if the C43's/63's have real vents? Cause the c300's are fake right? Really want it to be real vents lol i'm also looking to get the extra piece just don't know from which buyer.

Do you have multiple angle photos to show us what it looks like? Wondering if this version (clip) is better or the ones with the double sided tape...?

Thanks!

Nice! Quick question on the DPX1A - how do you use it to playback tracks through Comand - wifi / bluetooth?

Yes. Bluetooth. Works great. Sounds great. If you also pair a phone (at the same time) your BT audio player will auto resume playing when you restart the car

C450 AMG - Polar White

benzdude, great post. love following this thread for cheap/fun things to mod. i ended up getting that cup holder from amazon and got it in yesterday.
the thing is great, i love it! thanks for sharing that. fits my phone and front gate opener perfectly in their own little spaces. being a neat-freak, it is nice to have that little space organized.
