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?
