Winter mats
Ordered the light color winter mats. They came in and the color is sand. My interior=stone. Nasty bad look, so I took black instead. But now I'm asking myself whether I should just get black carpeted mats since I only get rainy shoes in the car, never mud or slush or snow.

I have the stone interior as well. I just picked up some of the Costco universal mats. The color is the same as the dash.
Works pretty well for "beater" mats. I think they were a whopping twenty bucks.

I have got the black mats....my interior is charcoal so it matches.
They look ok but I never take them out because I don't want to get the pretty carpet mats underneath dirty.
Bmms8 got some clear MB ones when he got his car. There have been a couple of threads on the clear mats in the past.

Very True. I have taken out the 'mats' and replaced them with the Mercedes-Benz heavy duty black rubber mats. They certainly do not 'look' Mercedes-Benz, but are practical and during our wet winters, a necessity. My interior is Palma Grey, which is a very light colour.
