[R2D2]

I hope nobody minds me posting but my names is R2 and I do car modding for a hobby -I've been a bit of a sleeper here recently. Those with good memories know that I have some very good contacts for Mercedes parts and I hope to have a meeting later today with a guy who in the past has got me my Sport pack exhaust and Kjays Sport Pack Brakes plus many other cool bits. He said he has something for me but we'll have to see what, if and when he turns up (he isn't Mr reliable for time keeping and meetings).

I hope its an AMG bumper with foglights and grills in Iridium silver (as new for £1.50! LOL) but it could be anything- he once came with a coupe Sport exhaust for my saloon! A set of bi-xenons would be nice! Any way, hopefully we'll find out later. I love a suprise mod

I once turned down a complete rear bumper with parktronic and the AMG boot spoiler- I must have been mad!! Anyway watch this space for news if and when I've seen him!

Couldn't ask him if he's got a set of w208 facelift cabrio sideskirts could you Greg ?

I'm starting to get the bug again .....

 

[imadoofus]

So it's kind of a lucky dip thing then, depending upon what comes into his posession?

Hmmm. Sounds perfectly legit to me...

 

[Howard]

Hey , don't spoil the fun !!

No I assure you it is leggit. His family own a high class breakers (though I suspect they wouldn't call it that) they normally deal in recent porsche and Maserati parts but some times a Mercedes lands in their lap, so to speak, and they know I'm Mercedes mad so they sometimes remember to ring me!

Edit. I have thanked you Andy but the thanks button seems to have vanished.

Greg ,

Seriously now , if he has the facelift side skirts and front and rear valances for a w208 cabrio , i'd be very interested ...

Or any nice w208 bits to be honest ....

cheers

I'll ask but I've never known him have a w208 cab before.

 

[Howard]

Thats a great link Andy , a friend of mine is always raving about Johnny Cash , might investigate further ....

 

[KillerHERTZ]

C43 AMG Sideskirts please!

 

[Howard]

Get in line Ali ....

 

[Anil]

Keep me in mind if you get offered a bumper again as I'm looking to fit parking sensors!

 

[R2D2]

I know he sold the bumper and spoiler coz I went back for them! He's rung -seeing him this afternoon!

 

[A-AvantGarde]

If you come across an AMG rear spoiler for a W203 saloon in Brilliant Silver (744) let me know

 

[R2D2]

No W208 or C43 side skirts Then he tells me they broke a C32 and didn't ring me

I only got one thing from him today and I've already done this mod I'll ebay them. Sorry guys-theres always next time.

Edit. Just discovered these are Brembo Brakes from a 2006 w203!!

Edit. Anyone know the proper prices for these??

 

[glojo]

That's right, build our hopes up and then come up with that.

Well done though and no doubt it's the thought that counts.

[Howard]

Dunno ...

Will they fit a w208 CLK ?

 

[R2D2]

I know they will fit a w203 and Coupe but I'm not sure about anything else. The brakes are complete including the mounts and "back bit" to use the technical term. The only thing I can see missing is the pad ware sensor is missing on one. I presume the one already on the car just plugs in. If any "Brakey" person can comment that would be helpful.

Mmmmmm, they look like the sport pack brakes . Do you know what engine size they came off? (I believe that they differ) I decided against getting the drilled discs that you had done and would like to stay on the OEM route.

If you've got any part no's for the discs or calipers that would help so I can check that they're suitable for a C320...
