Gift Ideas

I wanted to buy something for my dad's w205 for a while as a way to give back for all the things he got me. I was thinking of a diamond grill from aliexpress but people told me to get the real deal instead. Thing is all the money I can offer is 120 bucks since I cant legally work yet. Any other gift recommendations for that price range? Thanks in advance.

For $120 you could get an aftermarket rear spoiler or a set of brushed metal door pins. Or for a few bucks more, BMS intake.

Is there intake only for sound mainly and how difficult or easy is it to install?

Mostly for sound which I like. Install is very simple, like 3 screws.

Got it. Any link from where I can buy it and do you think it is worth it for a 2015 W205?

I bought it over a year ago but I think it was from Burger Motor Sports site. Like I said, I like the sound so I’ve left it on.

BMS air filter intake for your dad? Cheap chinese grill which will fade or loose color? Do you think he will remember you with happiness after he sees a faded grill on his luxury car? 😂
You can him so many quality OEM MB or AMG gifts from Kunzmann for your budget. Have a look on their website. You know what he likes or prefer. All the items on Kunzmann are genuine not fake or copy i found so many items bellow 100 Euro.

I admire your love and respect for your old man! However, being a dad myself.....it would make me happy to see my kids save their money for their future and not waste it on me or a car. Don't get me wrong......that is a very nice sentiment, but parents do not want their kids wasting their money......especially on them

100 usd will not build him a future that is for sure but what it will surely put a smile on his Dad's face when he realizes that his son is thinking about him. Whatever the gift is or how much it is worth, it is a sign of care and gratitude.

Spending money on people you love is not a waste of money.

What about a really nice Κομπολόι for the rear view mirror? I have one around my mirror that used to belong to my Παππού. I have had it in my last 3 cars actually. If you do go this route you should know that the MB mirror is very thick compared to my past mirrors. I had to take the Κομπολόι apart to fit it around mirror.
Other less sentimental gifts are floor mats, car cover, or an aromatic oil diffuser.

Πω πω ρε γαμώτο. Take him to one of the best Italian food places when it opens again. Best Italian food I’ve ever had. It’s called Napul’e Italian Comfort Food and it’s in Vari.

Geez. Let it go. The kid is asking for gift ideas, not family counseling from anonymous internet strangers.

To OP...if you want to get him the grille get him that. There are plenty of threads about people installing eBay grilles and loving them.

If he's a practical guy, you can get him a set of genuine Mercedes-Benz all-season floor mats for about $125.

Lastly, you could get him a diecast model of his exact car. A nice one will run about as much as the mats and are sometimes available at the dealerships. They're made by companies like Minichamps, Maisto, Greenlight, etc.

Geez, how about you mind your own business and not criticize others? You definitely need a lot of counseling.

To OP, I have the following items.
1- OEM MB Illuminated Star. Only the star. I still have the box.
2- OEM AMG door pins. I still have the box.
3- OEM AMG diffuser. I still have the box.
4- OEM C43 night edition diffuser tips. I still have the boxes.
5- OEM Single blade for the front grill. MB star included. Their boxes are available.
Choose one item out of the 5 items. Consider it a gift from me to you to your dad. You only need to arrange for a courrier company to collect the item from Beirut, Lebanon to you. Please dont wire me any money.
