W204 Seat Woes :(
Discussion
So just picked up my W204 C220CDI Sport yesterday.
I'm loving the car so far, having moved from an E60 BMW it is a very different driving experience. Also my first MB!
My only niggle with the car are the seats. I know it's been covered a lot before but the BMW had the thigh support extensions which I became too accustomed to and now driving the Benz I'm struggling to get comfortable in it.
I'm a big lad and there is too much of a gap between the back of my knees and the seat. It only covers 3/4 of my thigh and this is proving to be uncomfortable on long journeys..
Does anyone have any solutions to this? Ideally, cost-effective ones.
I would love to have something like the BMW seat to make the seat--bottom a bit longer as it's too short right now.
Alternatively, I have heard about people putting spacers under the seat to tilt it slightly. Not sure if this will fix the problem as the seat bottom is still a little too short for me.
Any suggestions?

I don't know why anyone would put spacers under the seat to tip it - there is a control on the side of the seat to adjust the base angle.
It took me a while to get the seat right on my 11 W204 220, adjusting the back angle, seat height and base angle together but I've found the sweet spot now and find it lovely for long journeys.
