sport model?
Hi guys, I have a 2012 C250 CDI in Australia, its an 'Avantgarde', is that considered the sport model in the US??, Im asking this question as I will be buying some brake parts and so on.
Also, windshield wipers for right hand drive cars, anyone know a supplier of these?

Avantgarde is sport however brakes may be a bit different. I know in the UK the avantgarde had different brakes than the US sport.

Thanks Adi-Benz, interesting, I guess ill drop the pads out and look at their shape etc and measure the rotors, I buy a lot of gear from RockAuto as they have good shipping rates to Australia, do you know what the difference might be??

Thats true however I cant believe MB would have a specific brake system for the Avantgarde alone!! I personally think the brake system on the Avantgarde would be just the same as the base model C250 offered in the US ??

I haven't bought any parts online, I do not want to mislead you. I buy all parts from local stores which offer alternative brands with discounts. I replaced my brake pads and rotors last week and I bought Bosch rotors and ATE pads.
Don't you have any local car parts stores which you can visit and buy alternative brand parts? Or you have only OEM parts? OEM parts are usually much more expensive so I avoid them whenever possible.
