whats up guys
mikey back with another video
another simple and cheap modification for your mercedes benz w204 c class
cost for centre wheel caps x4 15.00 aud shipped to your door
off ebay
75mm diameter for w204 models
there are many different types of centre wheel caps that you can buy depending on the style you are after to suit your car..
be sure to search thoroughly and choose the style you want as there are so many to choose from ....
i went with black on black
and in my honest opinion i think it has most definitely updated the overall look of my car
making it stand out and making it look newer and fresher...
in the end the choice is yours as to what you decide to do
its your car so dont let anyone else determine what you should do to your own car ....
there are 2 ways you can do this upgrade
the hard way
1. loosen wheel nuts/lug bolts
2. jack up car
3. remove wheel bolts/nuts
4. remove wheels
4. remove centre caps from the inside of your wheels
removing your centre wheel caps this way will ensure 100% that you will not cause any dfamage to your wheels whatsoever.. as you are not using any type of tool that may scratch your wheel in the process, so if you are worried about doing so...be sure to do this method
however if you are confident with your skill level and are patient in the way you work on your car, then following these simple steps will allow you to remove your centre caps the easier way without causing damage to your wheels...
the easier way
1. use a flat head screw driver
2. insert flat head between wheel and centre cap
3. apply pressure to centre cap away from wheel as you pry out
do not use the wheel as a leverage point, you will scrat6ch your wheels
4. press firmly against wheel cap and lift out
5. once centre cap has lifted continue to pry centre cap off
6. remove centre cap
be warned that there are potential risks that you may scratch your wheels by trying to remove your centre caps the easier way
however if you are patient and very cautious as i show in this video, you will be able to do so without any harm ....
patience is the key
this is a very simple modification you can do to your car yourself
DIY
a simple mod that can change the entire overall look of your mercedes benz w204

Use suction cup or tape it much better. Less damage on the original cap
@MIKEYZVLOGZ
@MIKEYZVLOGZ 5 лет назад
good tip however some of these caps need abit of helping to get them out, as they have clip/tabs that need to be pryed out... depending on the style of wheel capos which is why i suggest if you are really worried about scratching your rims or wheels...the only way to guarantee no damage is to jack your car and remove your wheels completely ....in my case the center caps were already damaged hence why i risked it ..knowing i was replacing them altogether ... but as i stated in the video the only way to not cause any damage is to remove your wheels...i guess it all depends on the quality of your wheels and caps...but good advice.... im sure it will help another fellow w204 owner ..thanks for commenting dear friend

Always put a black Mercedes sticker on the multimedia knob and replace the hood badge with a matching black one as well.

Do you think it’s ok to put the amg wheel caps on w/ the rims you’ve got in the video? Ik an amg badge on the trunk of a non amg is not acceptable but not sure about this style.
@MIKEYZVLOGZ
@MIKEYZVLOGZ 5 лет назад
honestly my friend its up to you what u decide to do ... my car isnt a real amg but it has the amg package which has the extras and body kit..and as you can see i have the amg original wheels where the amg is engraved in it ... in the end its up to you..never let someone else tell u7 what u should do to your own car... personally i try to stay away from putting anything amg on a car that isnt a real amg.. the wheel are different cuz my car came like this ... imho if you want it go for it...dw about the haters

Hi Mikey do you have the advance tpms sensors in your car which give you the reading of individual wheels and can those be retrofitted in a normal w204 with just standard tpms
@MIKEYZVLOGZ
@MIKEYZVLOGZ 5 лет назад
im not too sure ..i have to have a look and see if i do... i know for definite that my car has the run flat tyre system but as for advance tpms i have to find out .... however i dont think i do from the top of my head ... or i am not sure..ive been through my cluster options and mever seen the option for advance tpms

are those new caps original parts or knockoffs? do u have experience with fake caps? (they are so much cheaper)
@MIKEYZVLOGZ
@MIKEYZVLOGZ 5 лет назад
unfortunately these are knock offs and not original authentic caps ..these were 15 aud shipped and originals are about 60 to 120 depeding who and where u purchase them ... but they do do the job for now ..from what i understand authentic caps will last longer and will not fade overtime ..however depending on how u maintain them or how u remove them will determine how they will look and remain...
