I was looking through some photos of the new CLS and I was just curious about this little red....thingy on the bottom of the diffuser.

Is it a reflector or a brake light...? what is it?

And also, what is the color of this car?

 

This is the rear fog light no idea what the color is sorry

 

Steel grey. I think there are more pictures of it in the sticky picture thread.

 

yeah, they look good eh?
guess we don't have as much fog in the states?
they're euro right?

 

Im in Europe right now and I dont think these are on the back, I may not have looked closely enough, but I havent seen them.

The color though I like it A LOT

 

Europe/Middle East get a TON of goodies that aren't available to the states...

 

That's the standard diffuser for some markets (Middle East / Europe, possible elsewhere too). I'm actually trying to figure out how to get my hands on one because I think it looks significantly better than ours.

 

Lol, anyone thought about making it a FOURTH brake light? or would that be too much?

 

yessir, would love to have one on hand myself.......
please show some pix if you add one to your car
where can we buy one anyway??

 

With a lot of these parts, once you have the part number, it's as easy as calling in an order to your local dealer. The issue is that (usually) to find that number, you need a VIN from a vehicle that has the part you're interested in.

 

hmmmmm....

calling all vins calling all vins!!!!

I NEED to do SOMETHING to my car!!

it seems like it looks the same as ours now, besides the red light of course.....not much different.....
but different enough I guess........

 

Haha - my understanding is that Euro specs require a reflector down there, whereas US regs do not (but we do have to have those damn yellow / orange reflectors up front!)

 

UGHHh yes.... those hideous things.... I would have expected MB to place them in a nice spot and make them look cool. But they obviously did not care and slapped them on wherever they could...

Glad I plasti-dipped mine, it changed the look of the car... especially since mine is black and that orange stuck out like an ugly pimple.
