    Hi, I've tried to purchase via the main eBay vendors, Eurocarparts and finally the main dealer the two pins that hold the front calliper pads in place. None main dealer parts are for the later 1998 onwards cars fitted with larger front discs. So useless for my car. The main dealer described...

    Immaculate 1997 C250 in pink!!!

    To be a bit more precise it's a kind of red lilac colour! However my mantra with cars has always been (well after a horrific episode in my early 20s with a BMW 320 several loans taken out for repairs and a visit to scrap dealer) buy the engine first and don't worry about what it's attached to...
