VIN to options fitted - Russian

[ched999uk]

I am all excited about getting my w203 coupé on Wednesday and am trying to find out all about it. I have found a couple of russian sites that have been listed here but if I put my full VIN number in starting W203704 etc I dont get any info. Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers for any help.

Yes because your VIN likely starts with WDB203704....

would you be able to post or pm me the address for that site, would love to check my new purchase to see if it has anything hidden I dont know about.

THanks,

Just tried WDB2037402A***** (I replaced real digits for * only here)
and no info.

Any ideas what part of my VIN number I should use or have I got the wrong number completely or even the wrong end of the stick?

I did try merc directly but due to data protection and me not being owner yet they would only confirm or deny things.

Thanks.

should you not use all 17 digits?
