C220 cdi auto w203 coupe, 2004
Hi all, I have recently bought a silver w202 c220 cdi esprit estate auto w reg with 150,000 on the clock (only just run in ) with good service history and i must say what a lovely car to drive!! but needs new front wings (rust) and 15" alloys (bubbling). Firstly are after market (pattern) wings any good?. as for alloys would newer 16" C class or 17" AMG E class ones fit mine? 205/60 r15 on mine at moment. p.s as i do all the maintanance myself is there anything else i need look out for with this model? Many thanks in advance Richard.

Re the wheels, you must check the bolt size, the 202 uses 12mm wheel bolts, but I believe that the 203 uses 14mm (I would like conformation on this please)

Re the wings, its almost cheaper and better to cut out the rust on the existing wings and put new metal back. Many are doing this now is it is cheaper and better

Grease wiper head, check for vacuum leaks (does your headlight height adjuster work?) & clean out EGR valve.

Same bolt size & I'm "sure" the same hub size. This doesn't meen they will fit though, depends on rim diameter, width & offset (ET) + obviously tyre size.
