Ask Drex, or someone with 18" wheels.

You’re most welcome.
I am pleased it worked for you. No sense in driving around without a proper spare.
With all the inspirational modifications that Mr. Saprissa has shared, and events you've hosted, it was the least I could do!

It has been a while since I have posted on the forum.
How is everyone? Kind of sad that I'm leaving everyone behind in California, but excited about moving to Germany. Here are some recent photos of my car. Nothing special, but all the OEM add-ons I wanted are almost done.
Only things still in the works are the AMG side skirts and AMG front bumper.

Oh, I did forget to mention that I had those rear side sun-blinds put on.
Keeps the sun out of my baby's eyes
Carlos installed them in less than 5 minutes. Everything clipped in place. An installation instruction booklet came with each blind. The boxes were huge too. I thought Carlos had bought some snow-skis or something.
Accessory Part #'s:
Left - B6 6 69 1228 & Right - B6 6 69 1227
They were $74 each at the dealer.
Inside view:
Outside view:
What's pretty cool about them, is that you can still roll the windows down.
I wouldn't recommend it at high speeds on the Freeway, but they're still not going anywhere.
At night, I can't see out of them at all. Pretty dangerous, but then I usually drive my ML350 at night.

i did note this....
for W203's built up to April 2004, the part numbers are:
Left - B6 6 69 1302 & Right - B6 6 69 1301
after April 2004 (2004.5) use the numbers posted by Zulma.
not sure why that is, but it was explicitly noted in the W203 Saloon (sedan) install instructions.
and just so all the part #'s are all in one place (thread),
here are the accessory part #'s for the C-Coupe (CL203):
Rear - B6 6 69 1106
Left - B6 6 69 1310
Right - B6 6 69 1311

Parktronic - PTS installed by Steve - MBenzNL
here are some close-up photos of the Parktronic system, installed by Steve a while back. I'm sorry I don't have all the part numbers and more install details. There were harnesses, wires and modules everywhere. I'm sure you can e-mail Steve for those sort of things. Steve basically disassembled my entire car to install this. I couldn't bare to look. I took a couple pictures of the installation, but now I can't find them. Anyway, the important thing is that Parktronic works wonderfully, and here's how all the visible parts look like:
Front Bumper Strips:
Rear Bumper Strip:
Forward Display:
Rear Display (note that it has reading lights, not like the ones on the Coupe):
and the PTS on/off Button on the Switch Row:
A big thanks to Steve for the installation, Wanda for all the e-mails, and of course to Mark and his lovely family for hosting Steve's workshop.

Hi,
These ARE the correct numbers for a SEDAN to install a full spare?

Thanks,
Jake

Got these HOEN 6418 / C5W bulbs installed tonight.
www.hoen-usa.com
Here are the before & after pics:
Installation was very simple:
First remove the lens (two small screws) :
Then very gently use a pick to pull out the lens. Don't pull too hard, just loosen it up and then pull out with your fingers.
Here's the stock bulb removed:
and here's the Hoen bulb installed:
Then just simply put the lens back, screw it back in, and check out the results. That's it.

Then, put all the tools in there. Even though this tool bracket is smaller, it still fits all the tools:
Then, there's a little flap that closes and snaps shut to keep all the tools in place:
That's it. Again, another easy DIY OEM goodie. Now, I just need a full-size spare wheel & tire.
