Question C43 body kit on C230 or C280

Im wondering if i should go through with this, it will cost around a thousand bucks. but im wondering if they look authentic. Also, if it will make me look like a doutche for having a C43 body kit on a 280

have any of you done this or know somebody who has? if so let me know your experiences. or anyone who has an opinion please share it with me muchos gracias fellow MBZ lovers.

dude, c43's were not offered in all countries, like here is south africa.
so, they offered all models with an option to put on the c36 kit for 97 and below, and c43 kit for 98-2000 models.

mine is a c240.
nothing wrong with beatufying your ride
go for it

This is just one person's opinion, but I don't find the c43 kit to be that good looking compared to the other body kits out there. I would go with something else for looks and to avoid the "wanna-be" (sp?) factor. Look at the kits by Wald and others.
