Hood Bumper Gaps
Can someone do me a favor and verify if your panel gaps at the front are similar to mine? not used to seeing such a huge spacing (with hood close) between the bumper and grill

That looks similar to mine. I too thought the gaps were large.

Yup, it's a "feature" mine is the same, I think that most of the body panel gaps are pretty big for a MB... Just saying.
I do love this car though, 50k miles hasn't missed a beat.
It'll need new front discs next time round, other than that, so far so good.
