Newbie 180 evo coupe

[Clayton coupe]

Hi there

I have yet again bought a Merc, 1st one was a 230.4 about 10 yeras ago, classic car!!!!! Just bought a c 180 evo coupe with panoramic roof, 58 000 miles, almost spotless.
Should have prob asked this question a long time , but how do u know if it's an Evo or just a coupe?
The mats have the evo writing.

Thanks.

Welcome!

Nice car.

Evo usually sits lower on sports susp., comes with 17" wheels standard, has evo mats & on facelift models, will have sport pack brakes with larger drilled discs. Probably some other changes which I can't remember....

Is yours a facelift (pre/post 2004 with more modern switchgear)?

Also has the 2 tone leather seats.

My wife's C sport coupe was an evo and had 17s, lower suspension, "Evolution" on the gear selctor and mats and a big oval chrome exhaust tail. Can't remember anything else different.

apologies, quite new to the forum.
need to work out how to upload pics.

It does have the oval chrome tail piece, the mats, and the gear stick.
