how about posting some pics of your car

Akber

My car is prolly Japanese spec'd so instead of WDB"R" which is 203 in US. It must directly state 203 instead of the R.

Akber

Sorry mate. Ain't got pics at all.....not much of a picture taking kinda guy. And plus my car right now is on the other side of the world undergoing mods for engine and body. You'll prolly c the pics in 3 months when I go back.

Put up a picture of the VIN plate.

Akber

I dont have any pics of my car. I only have the chassis number which ppl say is incorrect. Other than that I'm as empty as outer space with no other resources. Don't u know how to ID a 240 or 320?

Check this out, it's WW universal http://www.autohausaz.com/mercedes-a...n-numbers.html your car is W ==> Germany....B ==> BMW and 10th number is 2 ==> 2002

Eather way you have BMW made in germany or wrong vin number

OneOfaKindTrini

Which rims does it have? What kind of headlamps? Any cutout on front bumper below headlights?

Akber

Are u blind??
W = Germany
D = Mercedes
B = Manufacturing Division.
And i have a feeling my Chassis is also correct, its showing wrong because its being checked under the US data bases.

Akber

Well it had "17 5 Spoke AMG Rims Gun Metal Color when my dad bought it, and the stock rims where also given to us which were "16 5 spoke alloys. The body kit is like an AMG kit or maybe thats where i get confused!!!!! Since C320 Sport Sedans come with AMG inspired bodykits, so i might be that or a C240 with a AMG Kit. No sunroof, and it has memory seats with all the extra's like bluetooth phone capacity and it has wood with metal trims. And the car is quite low to the ground, so it might have sport suspensions.

Any model w203 2004 and before had no OEM sport styling like the kit found on the only W203 AMG model the C32.

W203E35

That is a correct vin that he posted. His car is a C240.

W203E35

DataCard of his car.

Akber

Omg how did u do that?? Can u plz break it down for me if u wont mind.

CHiKompressor

but at the very top it says this : (Note) This chart is not applicable to Mercedes-Benz products produced in or made for markets other than North America. European/World market cars use a different system for encoding VIN numbers.

Akber

How did u do that? U a club member of Mercedes Russia???

Akber

So my car again is a mystery. Stupid Mercedes and it's cryptic vins.

W203E35

Just look at the datacard guys. You'll see it states his car is for Japan.

It's definitely a C240. I got it from EPC and not Decoded the vin.

Akber

If I have a C240 then I have to do quiet a few engine mods because stock 240s are slow. So are 320s and all other 203 stock (excluding Amg). Big supercharger project for me ahead. As well as ECU mapping and intakes, exhaust, suspension etc. 3 months for shopping, I'll see what the US offers performance wise v

Akber

Dad imported it from Japan as well. Btw do u have to pay for that site??
So it's official, I have a C240.

pcy

You (or someone in your family) bought a car without even knowing what model it is... and you calling MB stupid ...



Interesting people...

Akber

Thanks Karo. U really saved me from buying a C320 badge.

CHiKompressor

thats a lot of money to spend on a c240 with no so good results at the end. you might wanna rethink it or if you just want a good looking car maybe use that money for cosmetic mods

W203E35

I have the "EPC" and I can look it up. I don't pay for it. But a member here mentioned sign up for EPC. I'm guessing it's on the web. Is this with money?

Akber

My dad bought it from some guy who says it's a c240 or c320. It had a fake c200 badge on it. The car was modded already but was illegal for use in Japan, so my dad bought it. The car goes fast, but not fast enough. Does 0-100 Km in 7.8 seconds. But I want it to do it in 6ish or 7. So got lotta work to do.
