just happened to park next to one of these today....
w202 just does it for me comparitively.....
just my 2c.....what do you guys think?

xvvvz

Your w202 sure does look good next to that Camry! Oh, wait... is that a Mercedes grille stuck onto a Camry or...?

taimyshukah

OMG, your car looks freakin sick! I also own a white 202 and was considering blacking out the grill like you, I am definitely thinking about it now if I get black rims.

Wadster

So I'm not the only to notice that cars from various makes are really starting to look like one another.

dokotela

true that..........
there are huge similarities between manufacturers these days...
but theres none like the 202!!!! go on, take a for acquiring one, pat yourself on the back...theres nobody like you

davis449

Yeah I would agree that a modded w202>w204, but stock for stock (say sport pkg. for sport pkg.) the w204>w202. Nice ride man.

dokotela

thx dude. appreciate it. its at times when you recieve compliments that you wanna go out and try to outdo yourself.

and about the sport pack issue, you probably right cos back in the day, the sport appeal was not MB's main interest, but these days its every car manufacturers selling point

davis449

Yeah I still have mad love for the w202. Every time I see one, I see mine, it makes me sad sometimes. There's a lot of elegence in a Benz that other manufacturers just can't touch. Don't get me wrong, though, I wouldn't trade my A4 for one again.

I'm digging both the W202 and W204 :P

I have a 2000 W202 C240, and I couldn't ask for more right now. All I need now is to find some 18's to replace my stock 16's lol... I'm loving your C240, doko! It's mint!

If only I could get a C43 kit... But it's so hard, cuz I'm down in NZ, in the middle of no where. Shipping's damn expensive lol...


But if I had the money, I'd be eagerly awaiting the arrival of the C63 AMG!
I really like the Avantgarde grille on the W204's. Looks so damn awesome.

Wadster

They offer such an interesting choice of powerplants outside of the United States. So that's the 2.6 liter V-6 that went into the W203 C240?

davis449

I do believe so. The C 240 is weaksauce though. I remember the look on the guy's face at the next light after I smoked his *** (him in a w203) in my '95 C 280. The car looked new and I bet he was on his way back to the dealer to ask why an 8 yr. old (at that time) C-Class just handed him his ***.

....I'm loving your C240, doko! It's mint!....

thanks revo.... always glad to hear kind words

hope you get your kit soon. you actually better off in nz or australia than south africa.

RevoWution

You're both right actually.

@Wadster: Now that you mention it, yeah, I think mine has the 2.6L V6 that went into the W203 C240's. This would explain why mine is more responsive and faster than my brother's 1998 C240, which probably has the older V6 2.4L.

@Davis449: You're right too. I had a '94 C280 before I traded it in for my current C240, and I can definitely feel the power difference between a straight-6 2.8L compared to my current V6 2.4L/2.6L. The ol' C280 had more grunt under the hood.

Haha yeah man, I'm thinking of either shifting off to the US or Oz after I finish uni here lol. There's a way bigger market in the US for car parts (actually, everything for that matter lol) and cars...

sensoryx

hey what kind of suspension set up are you running?

#1 pads? or no pads?

dokotela

#1 pads all round.
dont run with no pads, cos u'll get too much metal on metal contact.

PJmak

agreed

nice to know there are people representin all the way down in africa

awesome 202 man, mine is white as well, my 18s are on the way, will order shocks and springs soon then comes wald or c43 kit

dokotela

thanks dude.

i try to keep the spirit alive in south africa, but its expensive cos the accessories aint available. not too many people that wanna trick out a benz here....especially the older ones

OCKlasse

your car is one of my favorite 202s!

dokotela

you gotta be kiddin me....OCK, comin from you, its an honor.
thanks dude. now whats up with ur ride? brabus front bumper??? wald kit???
20's???

OCKlasse

More pics when the power folding mirrors and fog lights are installed. ...and seriously, if I could trade cars with you, I would

dokotela

absolutely sweet man. you gotta post more pics
appreciate the compliments, but i have to admit, i wouldnt put up much of a fight trading with you

so wheres the brabus front bumper? are you considering selling it?
if you are, i'm interested..would look nice on my black c230k
lemme know dude. pm me

mnypwrrspkt662

dude dok.. do you plan on telling me what you did with your roof????

OCKlasse

Sorry man, but I sold that thing a while ago to buy my WALD kit. I think your car looks great the way it is...the BRABUS was really starting to look dated.

dokotela

dude, i was considering puttin it on this car

OCKlasse

Yeah, it would have looked sweet, but it probably would have cost close to $1,000 to ship. It was $200 to ship it 400 miles away!!
