A-Class (W176) [Official] Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176)

[gr8m8sam]

Any chance that you can send a link to where you got them? I am just after a set for the front.

Straight from the dealer. I think it is called "Classic all season floor mat" I can look up the MB part number later from the invoice. Made of Synthetic maerial not rubber. So no stinky latex.

My Mix

Close to finish my modification of my A250 Sport AMG line, Carlsson 19" 235/35

Carlsson C-tronic CB25, Brabus exhaust valve controlled ( amazing sound )

Looks fantastic. Did you paint the rear bumper insert or is it the original black plastic as it came from Brabus. Thinking to get the exhaust done.
What does the valve switch do?

 

[MTBRider]

Sounds great, where did you get it?

From the dealer. I will post up a photo later today. PS I wish I could edit I take it you all understand it should have said mat.

Interesting read. Seems like those 3 letter car purchasers are not happy the resale of their car has fallen and trying to blame someone and MB is an easy target. I can't understand the cheap comments from them. Took one of my wealthy customers for a drive he has Ferrari and Masserati and was impressed with quality He especially commented on the quality of the red stitching in the executive pack I have. I can't see that it would be behind BMW or Audi low series from the cars I have actually been in.

Is that what they call the "Shallow Boot Tub", Item 1 in the A Class accessories book?

 

[Shillo]

Noticed they have updated the Diamond Grille of the A250 showing the Gloss Black Background with Chrome Highlights in the latest MB A Class Brochure. Looks nice.

What? When did they change it? Isn't his the ongoing design? First the colour dash now the grill?

Right.

I think they're pricing personally was just right. It got new purchasers into their brand. I'm sure if they weren't as aggressive that it wouldn't have turned out that way. Plus people I'm sure are often happy to stay in the brand if they have a good experience. I would never have purchased a 1-Series at the same time looking at the price and comparing it with the A-Class. Even now if they are the same price spec for spec, I'd still be getting myself a Mercedes Benz.

Well my ship is finally on its way to the land downunder, Yeah baby! Those who've just received their cars I know you're probably enjoying them too much to get on here and write a review, but if you just happen to get time. I'm still very interested in hearing you're opinions.

 

[Shillo]

I have Aussie specific changes from the MB Bulletin but it's in PDF, any ideas how you upload a PDF?

 

[Will_o]

I spoke to the dealer this morning: if the stars align I can take delivery tomorrow!!! -booked a preliminary delivery slot tomorrow afternoon. I'm super excited wasn't expecting it until Friday - apparently it went through the workshop on Saturday so it's pretty much good to go.

(btw it's a 250 Polar Silver + command & exclusive)

Sorry Frostee, pinched the copy of the Bulletin you posted earlier in the year, hope you don't mind it's the same as the one I received from the Dealer but I cant seem to upload it from my Mac

Does that mean I will get black seat belts now? Dealer didn't tell me when I ordered in June.

Actually, they default to red. Just like the sports suspension. Unless otherwise stated, you can tell the dealer to get it built with black seatbelts and comfort suspension. But, you should still confirm this with your dealer. They should have all the details of your build.
