Are most of the W203 parts interchangeable?

I was looking on ebay and wanted to buy 2 parts but I am not sure if they will fit.

Part 1: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853348050&rd=1

Part 2: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853882175

It seems like none of the auctions list the c230 coupe under the W203 title. I realize the 4 door parts (like door sills) won't fit, but will the rings and such fit or should I start to search some other way?

Thanks in advance,
Erik

The clear side markers will fit, sort of. Everone who has bought them say the fit the sedans perfectly, but are loose on the coupes, especially the left one. Some people have fixed this by heating and bending the tabs slightly or by gluing strips from a cut up credit card to one of the tabs.

The headlight rings absolutely will not fit. The headlights are very different. Park you coupe next to a sedan and it will be very apparent.

Should I be looking for parts for the:

C-CLASS SPORT COUPE (CL203)

Or is it considered a W203?

Thanks,

The terms W203 and CL203 are commonly used interchangably, but the correct usage is CL203. Just make sure whatever you buy it for the C230k.

Feel free to boot me off the board when I get too annoying for you. :lol:
