Quote: I don't think Racing Dash has bulbs for W203 sedan and coupe yet.
The ebay seller from the license plate thread only ships to the states.
I am just going to go back to the hoen incandescents for now until they work out the problems with their led bulbs.
Well, one of the sellers, XCI just replied my PM and he said it would fit and work perfectly? Hmm

I did notice the other seller's thread saying his RD LEDs wouldn't work on W203 sedan/coupe.

true, and most of those on ebay say the same thing, so i wouldnt risk it.. i think he told you it will fit because he thinks its shared by the w203 class (btw i cant understand why its not !!)

It's just a mattig starless grill.
Search for mattig CL203 grill on here and there should be some information from a group buy a couple of the guys did recently.

My 3000K fogs finally went out. I think I was one of the first few with HID fogs in Calgary.
It seems like everyone has yellow fogs now so I decided to go for 6000K this time and match the Bi-X.



Then my shift boot tore. I took the opportunity to go for the suede boot I've always wanted. Picked up some suede at fabricland and after some time on the sewing machine I finally have a suede boot. The design is exactly the same as OE but suede instead of leather with red stitching. Total cost was $1.50 worth of suede + some patience.





My new shift knob also came in today. ALEX/T1R EGGO Ti knob in gradient finish. I still have a silver CF trim on the way so stay tuned!

how did you get to the driver's side fog light/install the HID properly?

The Windshield Wiper fluid thing is righttttt there leaving you no space to work; unless the coupe is different from the sedan.......

Also, where did you put the HID ballast on that side?......I ask for the same reason as ^

From what I know my 05 Sedan is the same as my 03 Coupe. There is a hole in the rebar facing the rear of the car you can bolt the bracket to and then slide the ballast in horizontally to secure it. The bracket should be on tight enough to not dip or sag from the weight of the ballast. I did the same for both sides.

How'd you get that Carbon Fiber strip on the engine cover? I know there's a Mercedes Benz logo on there.

The strip is only held on to the main cover by a few clips. I sanded the letters and the logo down before doing a CF overlay.
