My 231 is 2013 - Reg April - so it might be 2012/13 - and there is no reference to AMG anywhere, no boot spoiler - so might be one of those 30% or so - but has 19 inch wheels and as far as I know it came with them. As another update - i have some 5/6mm left on the current tyres so am going to...

Just a quick update for reference - MB Bristol on looking up my car offered from the data that 18's OK staggered - but not 17's. According to them - Rear 8x9.5 ET 47.5 with 285/35/18's Front 18x8.5 ET 35.5 with 255/40/18's So will see what is available and if right ones are then...

Thank you all again - to summarise - lots of useful info - on alternative make of 19's, Tyre pressure sensitivity - couple of psi lower than mine on front - interesting Tyre wear - they are almost/pretty much half worn - not sure of age as they were on the car when I got it Apparantly UK...

Thank you all very much - plenty of helpful comments and information. It is tempting to go for 17's - but as others have said maybe the best compromise would be 18's. The tyre pressure info in the fuel flap reads for 17's - all the same - or 18's staggered, or 19's staggered - my 19's are...

I have now had my R231 SL 350 for 9 months and still loving it (pic in SL register some months back) so - a question to those more knowledgable than me re wheel size and tyre combinations please. Car currently has 19 inch wheels with 285/30/19 on the rear and 255/35/19 on the front -...

Finally got around to a few pics of my 231 in cerrusite grey. 2000 plus miles in mostly crappy weather so far -

Thanks for that - it looks a good one on the video will give it a go.

R231 350 in Cerussite grey. I am 4th owner. 54k. Pics to follow.

Hello All back in the Mercedes camp after a 3 year break - this time with an R231 SL 350, 8 years old and came with an aftermarket inflation kit, not the original one. Are any of these really any good? - I am aware that there are punctures they definately cannot help with, I just hate not...

The 'Elephant Race' lads who effectively close 2 lanes of the motorway network for miles on end.

I think the beeb are out of their tree.

New PC correct Top Gear presenters announced, Brilliant!

Indeed - so if anyone has any experience of stand alone units that are half decent I would appreciate any comments. Thanks

Thank you - it appears then the answer to my first question is no - without comand surgery ?

Hello - I did do a search first but could not find anything - would anyone happen to know if a reversing camera can be retro-fitted through command on my 2004 w203 please - and if not has anyone any experience of stand alone ones that are half decent ? Thanks John

Hello - Happy new Year. I recently also bought 'new to me' C270 CDI 2004 - complete with copied nav disc which was causing problems. I suspect like many here I used https://www.commandonline.co.uk/ - helpful both on phone and on line, needed VIN - new DVD arrived pdq - about £150 from memory -...

I am loving it in a smaller C 270 Est - so it is pulling less car, nevertheless it feels a good mix of power and economy. I have had the E320 CDI in the past but much older model - plus Beemer and Audi 3litre Diesel, but this 270 is a great balance. I have done 1500 miles this month, it...

Many thanks for the help and pointers, gives me ideas how to go. John

Thank you for that - so if I went 16 x 8 all round what clearance would I need to check on the front - the 'mudguard' - outer wheel arch in wing ? that wheel did not protrude ? as I say this stuff was just a black art to me apart from thinking how naff the gold ones look on Subaru ! John

Hello to all - Newbie here, I did an intro in new members a couple of weeks ago. I now have the W203 - done just over 1000 miles in first week and pretty pleased with it. I wonder if someone might be kind enough to educate a little re the wheels as they are slightly different front and rear -...
