Javvy I took the liberty of removing your number send him a PM with it if he didn't already msg you. Bad idea to post phone numbers on the internet you don't want some guys on 4chan to get it and have some fun with you

Trey, you're no fun. At least let him get a few crank calls before you remove it. 
Picking up the Civic tonight. Then hoping to ditch the Lemon within the next couple of weeks. Found a place that will take the car stripped, so I guess I'll park it at my complex next week and start removing stuff. Should be a pretty sight.

All kidding aside, I think that I can say that'll never happen. Just called MBCA and had them cancel the remaining year of my membership too - no need for a pompous rag delivered to me every other month to remind me of what sh*tty undercoating Mercedes had. I will keep up with my BMW CCA membership, though, even though I never have owned one; that's a magazine worthy of the annual membership all on its own.

Our 2002 C230K is the same blue as the one owned by "C230 Sport Coup".
Some trouble-maker knocked the right (passenger) side mirror off of our 2002 C230K in a parking lot. The thin bar connecting the top and bottom of the plastic housing broke, and the heated mirror shattered. There is some scratching on the door, and the housing is slightly scratched, so I probably just need to mirror, and perhaps the housing as a replacement would look better than gluing the old one together. The motorized adjustment mechanism works, with just a crack in the mirror mounting surface to glue, but it would not hurt to have a replacement in case it fails.
As far as I can tell, removing the housing is as easy as pushing the part of the housing closest to the towards the back of the car (in towards the actual mirror), then pulling it off. Does that make sense?
Would you be willing to remove and sell those items to us? We are in zip code 92692, in southern California.

Hmmm, here's what I've got:
outer housings for our Orion Blue cars, both sides
one set of older and one set of newer style light strips for the mirrors
Euro convex mirrors, both sides (so no heated mirrors, I think)
Black ebay LED outer housings (check my build thread)
So if you're interested in any of that, let me know. I would think that you would not want the mirror from me, and I'd really like to keep them together to make the sale easier. I'm not really sure what you mean by that thin bar, or if it's easy to remove. A pic would help if you want to get it from me.
You're mostly right on the mirrors; you bend them back, then there's a brass colored lever you have to pry either further inward or further outward (I forget which way, but there are a couple of DIYs posted here), then the whole housing just slips off like a coney island whitefish.
Getting an oil change tomorrow and full inspection (just got a screech in the front, sounds like a dust shield on the Honda may be bent), so I'm driving the Smurfy today, then will park it tonight. Once I get a good spot in the parking lot at home, the sad picking apart of the car will begin. The more that I think about what I have, the longer my for sale list will get. But I'll have that up within the next week; want to move on getting the rustbucket to its final home soon.

Tommy, I'd like the mirror housings and original light bars. I'll send a private message with my contact information. The bar is the thin piec3 of the housing connecting the top and bottom closest to the car. That broke off on the one from our car when it was knocked-off.

The mirror housings and lights for them came. It is back together. I put some clear on the scratches on the door, and will fiddle with them some more when I have time.

Yes, I have the Renntech pulley. Combine that with the OE-chipped ecu and a sprint booster, and the M111 with a manual is a lot of fun. All three will be for sale soon.

Geez, here I am wanting to sell my Coupe and I'm figuring out what parts I can use from yours. What would you want for the door weather strip on the left and right doors? How are your sunroof gears? These are the plastic and metal gears near the top console.

Pics of all? If the weatherstrip is what I think it is, I picked up the passenger's side last year in Toronto and never used it.
Sunroof panels were replace 2-3 years ago by the dealership, so it's possible that the gears are fairly new too.
