[Josh21]

This is for you guys who're thinking about getting the GLC200 SUV and would like a better idea of what it looks like and what it comes with. 

PS: Mine's from C&C.

Starting with the red paddle shifters...

Was introduce by SE that the GLC200 had this autolock function after you close all car doors and walk away a few meter with the car key.

But somehow the function was not there after few day, maybe I had accidently off it.

Anyone have any idea how to turn it back?

I vaguely remember my SE mentioning this too. But a caveat is that you must not have opened the doors. 

If i remember correctly, if you just parked the car, and get out, close the door and walk away, it doesn't work.

But if you unlock doors and don't open it and walk away, the doors will lock back again.

I haven't tried this yet, will try it later...

If you unlock door and don't open door and don't walk away, I think the doors will lock back too.

tyres are bridgestone RFT 235/55/R19.

according to the instructions, normal to pump pressure to 220 for all 4.

is that sufficient?

my ex-car was on 225/40/R18 and pumped 250 (recommended by tyre shop).

Not sure of the technicals, but i'd just follow what's on the label - i.e. full load then 240/290, normal load then 220.

If I am not wrong, the figures are for tyres when cold. So you should pump about 240-250 there abouts if you pump at the petrol station after a long drive.

My TPMS will show 220-225 all 4 wheels when cold and when warmed up will hit 245-250. I noticed my rear 2 wheels tends to be of higher pressure than the front by about 5-10kPa.

if you see the label in detail, it says exactly what I observed. To add +30kPa when tires warm.

The rotating control knob looks better with the AMG badge, and the cup holder looks more classy with the metallic frame.

Actually i didn't... just the angle of the shot... 

[Josh21]

Replaced the ugly black plastic door pins with much nicer metal ones...

 

[Josh21]

Got the Burmester grilles...

[Josh21]

Added a flash of red to the start-stop button...

[Josh21]

And finally, the diamond grille has arrived... and very nicely protected as well!

[Josh21]

And the 2D mirror emblem is immaculate!

[Josh21]

After much sweat and great advice from VRAtenza, i finally got it installed. 

 

 

[Josh21]

Now it looks great! 

[Josh21]

Debadged for a clean look, and added a black matt metallic scuff plate for the boot to give a more sporty look...
