CL203 Part-Out Party!
I'm not one of those guys who keeps stock parts laying around, so if you want anything you will have to trade for stock parts plus cash, AND pay for any labor associated with making the swap, if applicable. Since most of the parts require swapping for stock parts at the same time, local pick up is preferred or I may be able to meet at a mutually agreeable location. Here's what I've got:
No Trade required:
- Brabus front lip spoiler - $300 (local pick-up only - will not ship)
- AMG rear decklid spoiler - $100
Trade for stock required:
- BBS RG-R 18x8/9" - $2,000 + trade (17"+ only - must clear BBK)
- Bi-xenon headlights - $500 + trade and pay for labor on swap
- TEIN Basic coilovers - $250 + trade and pay for labor on swap
- 2 piston BBK, painted silver with red Brembo logo - $200 + trade for stock and pay for labor on swap
- Mattig grille - $100 + trade
- '05 tails - $100 + trade
- '05 shifter - $100 + trade
- Euro strips - $100 + trade (pewter coupe only)

I'd be willing to drive down, and do the swaps on the spot.
Tails, Bix & Matig grill.
Woh, this was my 2000th post!
It's meant to be.

Anybody willing to drive to Fresno and do the swaps gets priority, so right now C230 Sport Coup has dibs on tails, bi-x, and mattig.
joyofcola: I'm not willing to ship those items, sorry.
datgai: Tails and spoiler will not require labor because I know how to remove/install those. Unfortunately, I do not have the expertise to remove/install headlights. You expect I should pay the labor?
Rick: Unfortunately, it's a large awkward item that I can't imagine being able to find a good box to ship in.
CoupeCrazy03: 2009 A4 coming this Fall.
khob: Sorry man, but $200 wouldn't even be enough for me to buy tails to replace them with so that doesn't make sense.
wingless: What are you talking about?

Debadged 6-Speed '05 C320 Sports Coupe
The side-view image of your coupe shows the front bumper rub strips have been replaced with the Euro version. That eliminates the side marker lamps. One of my front side marker lamps no longer works because the socket corroded.
MBUSA will not sell a replacement socket. They will sell an entire vehicle wiring harness!
So, are you willing to "part-out" your side marker lamp socket?

'02 C230K Coupe
I'm willing to drive to you. You said local swap only. You're the one who wants to part out the car. Why should we pay labor to uninstall and install. I'd rather DIY and not pay some chump inflated hours @ $100/hr to install head and tail lights. You aren't even sharing the labor cost but to burden the buyer with it. After you pay labor and stock headlights, it's close to new territory.

LuxuryC240: About 30k miles on the c/o's but you're in Boston so a swap is pretty much out of the question bro.
slammer111: I would consider that, but it looks like C230 Sport Coup is willing to come to my house and make the swap, so I'd definitely prefer that.
datgai: If the swaps can be done without having to pay someone, I'm all for it. However, I don't want my car being hacked up from a botched DIY that will only harm my chances of selling or trading it in. I'm trying to provide parts to you guys for really low prices, so please don't try and make me out to be the bad guy here.

Mu9enx: I'm not sure on the exact size of the BBK, but it's the same as the ones that come stock on 2005 C230 sport sedans, only painted with decals. Of course I would swap for the luxury brakes if you're willing to pay for any associated labor costs. Here's a pic:
KIRA: I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

Thanks for all the interest in the parts, guys! I am leaving for vacation next week and plan to begin the parting-out process when I return. Here is what I've decided to do to make this the most fair for all...
I will hold the official "Part-Out Party" in Fresno on Sunday May 25th. Anyone who wants to come and DIY swap parts can do so on a first come, first served basis, unless otherwise specified. Since I've already personally spoken with C230 Sport Coup and he is planning on coming that day, he has dibs on the Bi-xenon headlights and '05 tails. He changed his mind on the Mattig, so that is back in the mix. If any parts are still left, I will make a trip up to the Bay Area to SonicMS (date to be announced later) for the NorCal people to take their turn. If there is still anything left, I will consider making a trip to SoCal (place and date to be announced later) for the final leg of my parting-out tour. After that, I'm afraid the car will be put up for sale with whatever is left over. Hopefully everyone finds this to be a fair way to handle the situation.
