Mercedes Benz GLC 250d and GLC 350d AMG-Line
New owner from South Africa

Hi there, I'm Kosie from sunny South Africa. Bought a pre-owned GLC 250d Off-Road in mint condition. It's my 7th Merc over a period of about 29 years. Hoping to learn and chat here.

Hi Carid, and thanks. No mods are planned at this stage. For now I'must trying to learn and understand everything there is to this vehicle.

What I would like to find out is if there's a way to make the pianoblack centre console all shiny and new again, or even replace with something less blingy.

Welcome. Nice ride. I love it when members from around the world join. It makes this forum so much richer. For specific information on your particular model of MB, scroll down the main forum page until you find the forum section for your particular model of MB. In that section, you'll find owners of the same model of MB that you own. These owners will be more than glad to help you with any questions you have about your specific MB.

Thanks guys and on a sad note, I managed to damage the GLC yesterday be letting the auto garage door close on her. Luckily the door stopped as soon as it hit the car but still caught her on the nose. Seems only the chrome star was damaged though. The little mark just below came out with a bit of polish. Still not a nice feeling.
