optomistic badging??

[gina2201]

Looking for a C230 Kompressor yesterday, came across a "new/old shape CLK Kompressor" - who is this going to fool? WHY OH WHY BOTHER?? Not even believable as it's all wonky and just winds me up!

Cheap at the moment though....

EDIT: can't change the spelling in the title, naughty me!

The badging can be corrected and apart from the rear bumper which probably needs replacing as it looks fairly bent inwards and the scuffed kerbed genuine AMG 17' alloys it looks like a good car, the leather looks in great shape with hardly much wear at all.

Gina, Get a facelifted 202. Much better all round.

If the bumper or bumpers need replacing it gives you an excuse to fit an AMG kit (sourced from a breakers), it has aircon, leather, both front and rear electric windows and is going cheap so far. I reckon it's a good buy if you can get a w202 with that mileage and if its got no other problems. Most of the wiring on the car is facelift anyways isn't it?

Ditto, apart from the rust they are a world away from the prefacelift ones

Don't worry NW_Merc, as soon as his car starts to rust really badly we'll have the upper hand

I saw a W202 badged as a C500 in Gravesend the other day!

How many horsepower had the badge added?

The ebay one is the sort of middle model, later heater controls etc, but the early bumpers and lights...

Cheap old car though, given it's got leather and a/c.

Its already happened. Cleaned it today & I noticed rust on the end of the wheel arch/rear bumper.

Front arches are terrible already - last 6months have been a killer.

Mine started rusting there until I got it redone, have you treated it before when you had the bumper off?

 

[Inkyskin]

I have a tiny bit of bubbling at the bottom of a couple of doors It's not bad though, should be able to get it sorted before it becomes a real issue... I hope.

So what's first on your list of mods then (Sorry to hijack this thread)

 

[Inkyskin]

(Sorry also!)

Fixing my exhaust then bodywork sorting, along with new mirrors at the same time, after that facelift lights, then avantgarde grill. After that - dunno really, probably alloys

Basically fix up first, then mod time!

Somewhere in all that though I need to replace a few interior/dash bulbs, fix a fuel sensor, and the heating unit lol

I bought mine of fleabay for 1700 on the W reg. This one looks quite reasonable too!

I did come across this one.....not keen on the colour, and not leather!
Otherwise nice!
