Am getting a new garage door sorted - opening 2110mm. Car will fit through this with a couple of inches to spare either side. A shade tighter than GrahamC200's garage, but should work fine. Thanks for all the posts on this thread. &nbsp;<img...

Given that you've just had tyres changed this sounds mighty like a balance problem. If the garage that did the tyres can't sort suggest you go elsewhere.

Thanks for all the interest. 1) A fourth way of measuring the width of the car (through the open windows) gives 198cm. 2) The wing mirror tip is 228mm from the window - that's on the basis of a right angle line out from the window. 3) The wing mirror itself is 237 mm from mounting to tip...

Steve - I bought a key fob of the second design a couple of days ago - from MB Newcastle. £10. They had two similar designs on offer.

Following posts on this board I've got paranoid about the measurement. I've done it three ways: 1) straight across - of course the bow of the windscreen does make this a little difficult, but it can still be done. 2) Plumb line from the tip of each mirror to the ground, mark the points, move the...

Thanks for all the comments. The tape measure is right, so it has to be the wing mirrors - not something I would have thought of without the contributions above. I found a C180 in a car park, and the wing mirrors look a lot smaller than those on mine. I'll see the MB garage on Monday and see...

Thanks for the replies; appreciated. The measurements suggest a width for the C180 in the range of 1720-1730mm, which is V12's 68 inches, Guy's conversion of 1727mm - though I've come across one measurement at 5'9&quot; which would be 1752mm. As far as I can tell with a tape measure my C180 is...

Can anyone help me with an exact wing-mirror-tip to wing-mirror-tip measurement for the C180 Classic 1996? Web sites variously give the width of the C180 as 1723mm, 1725mm, 1728mm and 5'9&quot;. This must be measurement without the wing mirrors - I have a garage with a width of 1958mm, and the...
