w202 bra
 
Does anyone know where I can get a bra for a 1998 c230 in the U.S.? I have seen two in the UK and shipping might not make it worth it. Is there a difference in size and dimensions between the c230's and c280's? The paint on the front of my 230 has had it from my many travels thru the deserts and sand storms. Instead of painting it, a nice black bra might look pretty nice

thanks

Same body style. Just make sure you buy the right version - pre-facelift or the facelift version to match your car so that it attaches correctly.

xvvvz,

Thank you. So the same 97 and up facelift for the c230 w20w applies to the 97and up c280 w202. Great , thanks again

is this a clear bra? or the black one? I need one myself since I travel often on highways and my front bumper gets paint chip every now and then. Thanks.

Black one for me (although I have seen faux carbon fiber ones too but they just don't seem to fit tight enough to really look cb)

My paint is damaged enough that I will hide it under the black bra. If my paint were pristine I might.. (might) go with a clear bra

Rfoo, I heard there are a lot of good fabricators in the Philippines that can do this custom bra for W202... Try Portillo's (I don't know if he still does business now) or somewhere in Banawe, Quezon Avenue?

Sure wish someone had a picture of one of their bras on a 97-2000 w202. It might be nice to see how well they fit and what they look like before buying.

I tried to look for people who will do the job but no luck for me. I even bought the clear uncut bra film all they have to do is mold it in my car but they say it'll be hard since they can lay the film without scratching my car. Did it myself and yeah, it was kinda hard.

I'm still looking for some professional installer or a clear bra kit thats already pre-cut to the car's size.

Rfoo, check out C43AMG's link and the company makes bra for our cars (either standard bra or carbon fiber look): http://www.colgancustom.com/shop_vmake.php

:topic:Pare, I've met some cool Pinoys here too. It'll be good for social networking. I've met Maksi, Kulitko1, AMG560 and jdm_slick. Btw, AMG560 is based in the Philippines and he sells auto accessories for BMW & Mercedes Benz. PM him and maybe he can help you with finding the bra. :y

rfoo 09-11-2010 11:27 PM

Thanks for the info, I'll try to get in touch with him. I've already met some including you. hehe!
