C230 Sport Coup

Can't wait.

Anyone in the bay area that wants the Mattig grill or Brabus lip let me know before I go. Or whatever else thats easily removed and transported.
Like say the AMG spoiler or Euro strips. Like the man said though, you need to pony up your swapable stuff and the cash prior to leaving.

I won't be havin' time to do brakes or anything.

I was thinking it wouldn't make sense for a bunch of guys to drive out of their way to Fresno for the same parts, so I'm thinking 50% deposit via PayPal for me to hold the parts for you until we swap, at which time the remaining 50% would be paid in cash. You have until Monday to place deposits for the Fresno Part-Out Party because I'm not sure if I'll have internet access while I'm on vacation. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

Here's the interest list I've compiled so far, so let me know if I missed anyone:
- Brabus front lip spoiler - p010sp0rt8 (N)
- AMG rear decklid spoiler - tozfeekum (?), rtking (S), kompressorc230 (S)
- BBS RG-R 18x8/9" - DarkXerox (N)
- Bi-xenon headlights - C230 Sport Coup (F)
- TEIN Basic coilovers - SC 230 (S), benze-ply (S)
- BBK - JDoggery (N), Mu9enx (S)
- Mattig grille - p010sp0rt8 (N), KIRA (N)
- '05 tails - C230 Sport Coup (F)
- '05 shifter - kompressorc230 (S)
- Euro strips -

(N) = NorCal
(S) = SoCal
(F) = Willing to drive to Fresno FTW!

KIRA

hmm, can me, you, C230 sport coupe do a last "coupe" photoshoot before you take things out?

i can drive to freshno

C230 Sport Coup

Drive to Fresno....for what?
Save your money. You need it.
That'll be like a hundred bucks in gas to buy a grill.

Photoshoot? Well if we meet to get your grill, np.
Go to the Hooters meet on Sunday.

r0mantics0ul

do you have a aftermarket shift knob? if so are you willing to sell it?

Blake P

My shift knob isn't aftermarket. It's the same one found on the SLK55, with an all black knob and MB logo on top. As stated in the first post, I will trade for a stock knob.

Blake P

Sure, let me know if you want to come to Fresno. If you're coming for the grille you should also consider getting the Brabus lip too. I'll give you a special combo deal if you buy both.

Ok, this might be my last communication until I get back from vacation so I'm planning on only C230 Sport Coup and KIRA coming to the Fresno Part Out Party on 5/25 since they're the only ones who have contacted me. Any others, please send me a PM and I'll try to respond while I'm gone. Otherwise, you won't hear from me until I get back on 5/22. Ciao!

KIRA

lol i think you maybe the one and only in Cali with pewter coupe

Blake P

Leaving Barcelona tomorrow morning!

KIRA

hey blake, i might not able to buy the Blip.. too much traffic tickets these days.

but i will still pay the grille for $100+trade

Blake P

Ok, I'm back guys! I've responded to most PM's by now, but will definitely get back to everyone else today. Please PM me if you're planning to come to the Fresno Part-Out Party on Sunday so I can coordinate everything.

Blake P

The Fresno Part-Out Party was completed with great success. C230 Sport Coup made off with my bi-xenons, '05 tails, and '05 mirror blinkers. KIRA drove away with my Mattig grille and Brabus lip. Many thanks to both guys for making the drive out to get the parts. Everyone pitched in and lent a hand to make it a successful day for all.

I have scheduled the NorCal leg of the "Part-Out Party" for Saturday June 14th @ 12pm at SonicMS new location in Mountain View, CA. So far, only DarkXerox has confirmed that he will be attending and purchasing my BBS RG-R wheels. Any others who are interested in parts, please send me a PM so we can work out the details.

Blake P

Just so everyone knows what it looks like, here's a quick picture of the shifter.

Blake P

The NorCal part-out party went off without a hitch today. I met up with DarkXerox at SonicMS around noon and we swapped wheels, then I had my TEIN c/o's raised ALL THE WAY UP (my car is still lower than Phil's)! Thomas' C32 looks great with my old BBS' and my wife actually said she likes the 17" AMG wheels better (I take her opinions about my car with a grain of salt). Many thanks to Darwin and the rest of the SonicMS crew for all their help in getting everything taken care of without any issues.

Unfortunately, I think I'll skip having a SoCal part-out party since it seems like too much of a hassle to have suspension or brakes swapped out. I'll let you guys know if I change my mind. Basically, all that I have left now is the shifter and euro strips. Contact me if anyone's interested.

SeaCoupe

I think with an extra person and the stock brakes, this would be easy to do. The suspension.....Ugh...I'm not in the money right, but perhaps could be convinced to provide a stock suspension setup for the C/O kit...

Who am I kidding with the downward slide of the economy I should hang on to every dollar I gots.

EnkeiDynamics

man I can't believe i'm just now finding this post....this sucks. This nice coupe is gone AND I missed out on the grill, taillights, and bix.....wtf...

Sad to see it his go man.

However I might be interested in your 05 shifter...

Blake P

Thanks for your condolences. Let me know if you want to do a swap by mail for the shifter.

Saprissa

Blake,
sad to see your awesome Coupé dissolve from greatness...

my Coupé will live on your legacy !
