I was thinking of getting either the White (#1) or Numbered (#4) style.
White, as in the first option plate with the blue on the left.
Numbered, as in the last option plate with the orange numbers on the right.
I'm just worrying that with the blue, it won't show the beginning -A in DA.
And with the Orange, it won't show the D in the ending -DDY. Lol.
It's another cosmetic mod.

There's an error light/message for loose gas cap? That code is for a major EVAP Emission Control System leak. There's been a couple of threads about troubleshooting in that area (behind right rear fender lining in front of the axle). If I remember right, one fix was replace an O-ring.

what's weird is that if I clear the code using my REV app on iphone, the check-engine light would go away, but my catalyst monitoring and secondary air system monitoring would stop communicating with the REV and shows they're supported, but not working. and it would show the P0455 code in pending.
BUT when the loose gas cap error comes on, all 8 of the monitoring support would work.
anyway, i took screen caps of my REV app. I'll bring the car to my mech to get it checked out next week.
REV also does this

update:
the shop ran the vapor leak test and had the "Regeneration Valve Fuel Vapor Recovery" valve replaced. It's the so called "purge valve" i.e. the ticking thing right next to the ESP if anyone don't know where it is. The valve was stuck open causing the issue.
P0455 code is gone.

I hate my purge valve. The only reason I haven't gone insane is because my loud lawnmower of a magnaflow paired with a resonator delete drones out the ticking. Bad part is I'm about to go insane because of the drone my exhaust produces.

sweet... how much is the tune going to run you? I need to look for a repuital MB shop around my area, might ask my friend since he knows all the MB connections around here and gets discounts on parts from MB. I need to see how much he can get off, I know he gets parts tax free and I think a buddy works in parts and gives him his employee discount on top of what our friends dealership gets.

so if you need any OEM parts I might see what he can get them at cost. If they're good deals i might start a thread on parts I'll ask him this morning to see what the discount is at our local shop.

ooh...I know places to get cheap parts already, but still...these stuff adds up to a lot. mods alone on my 203 are well past $15k mark...don't even want to think about it anymore....lol
check out rmeuropean if you need an online source. they're out of states for me, so no tax and if you order $100+ shipping is free. for local, i already have hook ups at dealership parts dept.

dont even miss that old honda anymore. Told myself I wouldnt fix this one up but you guys always make me want too lol first was just drop in filter, then wheels, now its cf roof and trunk spoiler, painting roof glossy black, now I want a cf rear diffuser like Roland and do a quad tip exhaust... I already have the muffler and tips, I just have to mock up the passenger side bumper spot for the tips. So many things to do but limit on funds hahaha I guess I should start playing lotto

Powerchip is hosting a small meet tuning the new VW GTI. they're going on at P2Spec.com's location tomorrow as well. I got the car/W204 tuned today, but I'll be back there tomorrow just to chill with the C32.
diff cooling mod, I bought the C55/SLK55 diff cooling fin. waiting for my buddy from Taiwan to get a adapter kit and send it back to me by end of this month. should be direct bolt on without removing the C32 diff.
