Could all the W202 owners please make themselves known

[NW_Merc]

OK, while chatting to Inkyskin who also has a pre-facelift 202, I've thought about having a separate thread rather than hijack his classified wanted ad.....

If possible put up a small pic, type of car and maybe a small description of mods if any. Ta

Pre facelift, 1996 C280 Elegance Auto in metallic silver. Factory extras were leather upholstery, AMG 15" monoblocks, electric sunroof, puddle lights, air con and outside air temperature gauge. I have since added an Avantgarde grille, facelift high level brakelight (thanks Karl), Kenwood D-Mask head unit with 10 disc changer, Kenwood front component speaker upgrades, removed rear shelf speakers and replaced them with Pioneer 8", 3-way cross axials mounted in MDF under the rear metal parcel shelf, Kenwood 12" sub and two Kenwood amplifiers, and a Parrot 3200LS bluetooth handsfree thingy.

C43 AMG estate

Standard except for the blacked out windows done by the previous owner. The car is fully debadged from the factory, in brilliant silver and two-tone leather interior.

Since I've had it, it's had 2x new front tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport PS2), B-Service & gearbox oil change (Parkhams Garage), had rust repaired on all 4 wings, 2 doors, boot lid and a sill, and had the aircon regassed by Jay
I've taken it on a roadtrip to the Alps, to the Nurburgring, on a driver training course and to Curborough sprint track and it hasn't missed a beat!

 

[Kompressor_Dude]

Some of the mods so far include: (not all pictured!)
Lowered 40mm all round on Bilstein B12 kit
Silvervision bulbs
7" TFT DVD player
12" Sony sub
Avantgarde grille
Green stuff pads/grooved discs
Colour coded reversing sensors
Chipped ECU
AMG pedals
Lock covers

And i've just found a set of refurbed 18" AMG monoblocks and some braided brake lines, which will be on within the next few weeks.

Addicted? Well and truly! There's lots more planned for this car, as now i've now finished having the service items overhauled by Olly at PCS (exhaust, belts, fluids, rear diff etc.) i've got funds for some bigger mods.

Watch this space!

 

[Joe_SP]

Here is my beloved W202, 1999 C200 Elegance.

It is basicly standard but has some minor mods including;

• Pioneer custom fit dash tweeters & front door speakers.
• Alpine HU
• Mac Audio custom fit rear shelf speakers
• Auto dimming RVM
• Yuldiz wheels from a W211
• Rear quickparc retrofit
• Parrot phonekit

 

[74merc]

S reg C280 Sport estate with 17" AMG alloys and the dodgy AMG wheelarch extensions. ATF changed and wheelarch rust removed both by myself - (rust thankfully not a big task due to the protection provided by the wheelarch extensions). The car is standard but I am thinking of removing the middle silencer to make it sound better, am thinking a Nissan 350Z or Golf R32 soundalike. Will post a pic when I take one.

 

[para alpha]

Yes, Me!

Currently on a private plate but registered 14/06/1994.

no recent photos as of yet, Needs a good clean and has more dents than a banger racer.... Not my fault, It was left on a car park by the previous owner for over 8 months open to the elements and hood rats....

Here are some that was taken last year before I picked up the car.

 

[callahan]

And another.....

C36 AMG registered in 1998 in Malaysia then brought back here in 2000.

Just took me to the south of France and back without missing a beat, but used a good litre of oil and quite a lot of petrol....

There's a few things that need doing to it, but the tax is up this month and MOT next, then it's time for a service. Lovely.

By the way, I assume the AMG's need servicing every 12 months like most cars, it's only done 9k (miles) in that time and they suggest every 22,000 kilometres in the service book - anyone know?

Cheers
