Been meaning to do this for a while, well since I got the car really , just not found the exact surround i wanted. Swopped the dealer,
Mercedes Inchcape Southport surround for a plain gloss black surround, think it looks a lot better, particularly the front with the gloss black grill.
What ya think .
Be gentle we me. :)

I hate to have the dealer name on mine unless they pay me for advertising (yet to happen)......IMO the big border at the bottom spoils the whole look of it. On mine, the dealer name is printed on the actual plate so the "advertising space" is not there.

I mostly like them... You still have the wide bit at the bottom for the advertising :(

You can get them without that wide clip on bottom bit (Wurth make them)

Just looking at the pics again, the rear one especially would look good in body colour :):p:D

To be honest Blobcat, had a couple before this, they just wouldn't fit, well not like I wanted them to anyway, i.e. nice and straight, flush etc. :)

Sorry, don't agree :p i definitely wanted gloss black, as you can see I'm going for the white, gloss black theme ( apart from the wheels) :D

I agree that they look better in black. On my last car I bought some from the bay which had an MB star on one side, AMG logo on the other and something in the middle. I only bought them because they were cheap and, after a couple of minutes rubbing them down, I painted them in gloss black. Had them on for about 3 years. :)

Not a brilliant photo but you can make it out here: -
