    W203 polly bushes

    My S203 was an avantgarde with sportpack and the obvious difference was the front brake rotors. They were vented & cross drilled and nearly filled the inside of the standard adharaz 17" rims.

    Thank you! I googled them this morning and didn't see this. I would have stopped short of paying a deposit to sell my car but you've saved me from wasting my time finding this out. Cheers :-)
