Mine have arrived - Well packaged and great quality.

right, i'm going to sulk

still not got mine but they are due today

having said that the traffic round here is terrible as i gather the M1 is still closed after a major smash late last night!

Mine came around lunch time, they're very nice, going to fit them in a bit. One looks to have a tiny chip on it, but I'm not that bothered. I have a mahogany wood touch up thing somewhere in the house for the dining room table if it really bothers me but I'm sure it'll be fine. 2006 Mercedes CLS

Maybe worth pm'ing James above to see if he can get the nets? As this guy has put hice price up. 

Thanks Dan - I'll check 'em out....

Mine will have to wait until tomorrow to be fitted, combination of rushed off my feet with work today, 5 hours sleep last night and a hefty dinner tonight, I kind of fell asleep for a couple of hours, when I woke up it was cold, dark and raining quite a bit

They look good fitted though Dan. I'll have a check which one has the chp and let you know  2006 Mercedes CLS

mine arrived late afternoon

even numb nuts here who has problems holding a screwdriver managed to fit them all in 10 minutes!

they do make a big difference

interestingly the ones removed are flimsy plastic but the replacements are heavy cast aluminium

maybe needed to form/shape the wood laminate?

Took me longer, did you move the little metal clips from the plastic ones to the metal ones? That's when I took a chunk out my thumb

no, did not remove clips - did not know that had to be done?

surely if needed the new ones would have said clips?

just been and checked the 'area' where the clips are located is rock solid

The clips are technically part of the door, rather than the trim peice. I fitted them onto the door and then pushed the trim into them. The first one I fitted them to the trim first, that went badly.

You'll probably be OK, but I would worry about them vibrating/rattling at certain speeds/rev ranges etc. I'm anal about squeeks and rattles though!

Just don't throw em away! 

I was out when UPS tried to deliver mine at 3pm
They're coming back on Monday- just hope they're earlier this time!

Dan- how come you have black speaker grilles? 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

That'll be the Logic7 speakers  

Rain hasn't stopped all day/night so braved the wet and got mine fitted, they really finish the door cards off.

Next on the list is the front seat side trims to replace. 2006 Mercedes CLS
