hi all,
couldnt find a newbie section so posting in here.
just bought a new daily driver although im still waiting to properly drive it as its got no tax and post offices are closed..
really happy with it, looks nice, comfy and should do the job.. :D
its a C200 Sport Manual - which is main reason i got it as i prefer manuals..
few niggles with it that i need to fix.
1. Drivers headlight looks aged and discoloured - Will any W202 headlight fit?
2. Passenger window goes down fine but when going up appears to slip of its rail and you have to hold it with hand and press button to get up :(
3. bonnet badge missing so ordered the blue flat style logo to be different.
4. grille has chrome missing so looking for a new one - again any w202 will fit? and is it an easy fit?
planning to keep original (maybe some AMG rims if they come up cheap enough)
anything else to look out for, oil and coolant change on cards very soon and front discs as it grinds slightly and the pads are like new but massive lip on disc :(
some pics
