This is the one from their website. The grille pieces come silver, but that was too gawdy for my tastes, so I had them painted flat black. I like subtle, but aggressive look of body kits, especially for benzos.

Only thing I don't have is that little MH-Dezent sticker on the bottom front of the bumper.

Very nice, Drex! Does that mean that you're running out of stuff to do, though?

drexappeal

Thanks, tommy. Nah, never run out of mods to do. But, I'm coming very close to the budget "cap" that I set for myself and I have a strange feeling I'm going to be going over that by Winter time.

for some reason, it doesn't look as good as urs...
maybe it's color or bix?...

drexappeal

Prolly the bi-x and the flat black grille inserts. May be the front star too...

The CLK has an option of adding a front splitter to the same style bumper. This looks hots and would give your car an even lower stance.

drexappeal

I don't think this will fit right. If you look at the lines of the "performance line" bumper, it is more similar to the Expression front bumper.

Mine has more prominent indents. I'm considering have a custom lip made, actually. But that is on the back burner. Brakes first.

some kit don't look good on certain color. in this case they don't look good on the silver with the silver mesh.

don't be hating on the silver/stainless grille man... lol

drexappeal

There's a difference though. On your car, the silver grille looks like a beast, especially cuz there's no other grille inserts on the front! Silver grille on my color or the silver one on the mh-dezent website...

So, I'd definitely have to agree, Frank. But your car is a completely different story.

FrankW

haha...stainless mesh ftw! lol

oh yea, i just did couple exterior mods today.

MiKeSSw203

another diy grill?

FrankW

......












nah...went with the 05-07 sport grille...did the window trim as well while at it...

i'll leave the re-paint grille project to later on.

drexappeal

window trim?

nlpamg

he wanted to add some bling bling to his ride.

I think he got jealous from all the 05 and up models with the chrome on the windows...

and it was from being surrounded by Mike, Robert and myself at the meets that he wanted our trim...

white_w203

car looks clean drex. turning out very nice.

FrankW

hahah...new trim because the old trims discolored, so might as well. matches the 05-07 grille, so not too bad.

where that pic came from? send me mo...mor i tell ya!! u never posted ur rosebowl pics...

Cappa26

And I got floor mats

drexappeal

Well, that's always been my goal, clean, aggressive, not too flashy, but enough to stand out and be unique.

Now, on to more projects. Gonna hopefully do some taillight wiring this weekend (finally) and figure out when I can get my tune completed.

drexappeal

We should call you guys the "bling, bling" boys...LOL. Actually, the chrome strips and front emblem are the only parts I like chrome (oh, chrome lip is fine too). It's funny, cuz I remember us talking about the chrome strips at the Irvine meet a couple years back and how that was one of the "additions" we noticed.

How 'bout some pics, Frank? After all, you've got that fancy camera!

Mine can equipped with faux CF door pillar trim. Apparently they were a one year only deal with the C32.

I’ve never been a fan of fake stuff…until Mr. Saprissa was eyeballing ‘em at our last meet. He mentioned that MB only has something like ten sets in its parts supply network, and that they are not exactly giving them away.

Maybe they are not so bad after all!

drexappeal

Yup! I love those, John. Carlos and I both wanted them, but considering how much MB wants for them...I threw that idea out the window. I even tried to find a wrecking yard that may have some to no avail.

I'm pretty sure it was on C32's and Sport editions (240/320) for 1 year only. After that, they changed to black!

Blake P

Out of curiosity, how much are they?

MJ50

what do they look like?

drexappeal

From the last time I remember, it was something like $400+ PER PILLAR! At first, I thought it was Per pair, but the dealership clarified that it would definitely be per pillar because they had limited stock of them (and majority of the w203's had black pillars).

drexappeal

MJ, they match the pattern of my current interior pieces, but maybe a little darker. So, on black or dark blue cars, it looks outstanding! They look similar to those cheap ebay stick-ons, but obviously much better quality because they are complete replacements, not overlays.
