Under body kits for W202 (PU)!
I saw a set of under body kits for W202 a while ago. It has 4 pieces, the front lip attached to the lower balck piece of the bumper, and so does the rear lip. Also it has two side skirts just like the AMG C36. I forgot who made those kits and are they still around? This kits were constructed from PU not Fiber Glass.
By the way, my is 97 c230 with lower black body all around, is it possible to updat to the look to 98+ W202 appearance. Does any one has source (parts) to do the conversion?
I know there are some replica AMG C36 fiber glass kits around by covering the original bumper without removing them. But it does not fit nicely, and you have to spend a lot of effort to get a perfect fit. Eventhough the replica kit cost less than USD800, but it just does not look right. Also there is extra cost for the AMG C36 fog lights.
Thanks!

I was looking for the EXACT same body kit..Erebuni used to carry it, and they only wanted ~800 for it...but they don't carry it anymore. 
I found the kit at this Australian site, but they want WAY too much for it...they say they only have 1 left...unfortunately, even the euro owners I've talked to have never seen it before...
I saw the kit at www.carshine.com.au. Let me know if that's the same one you're talking about. Click on W202, and it's the bodykit on the bottom row...man, i wanted that kit..

yes, this is the one. I have seen it several places before. From performanceprodcuts.com, carshine.com.au, and erebuni. I truly believe they are still around and just not that popular any more.
The last on sale I seen was at erebuni for less than USD700, and it was made of PU materials. If you know the manufacture for this kit, maybe I can ask my friend about where to get one set. He owns a Benz-Mod shop.

This kits is manufacture by MS Design. check its web site at ms-des********, or email them at info@msdesign.at for US distributor list.
let me know if you find the retailer in US.
By the way, I have checked out carshine.com, they are aksing AUD1990 which is about USD1077. Not a bad deal comparing to fiber glass kits. but u have to pay for import duty n shipping
pictures for those who have not seen it below:

This is the kit that I originally wanted....1100 is too much for a lip kit...not including shipping...i remembered they wanted quite a bit for shipping too...the Reiger kit is a lot less expensive, but it's too aggressive for me...i like this kit a lot more. I emailed them about the kit...hopefully we'll get a response...If you find any for sale in the US, let me know!
