For 2005,
the Coupe got new front grill, new taillights, new clear head-lamps, clear fog-lights, and new side-mirror blinkers. Or you can also get Bi-Xenon head-lamps.

I don't know about online,
but you can order the 2005 Coupe "facelift" package from Steve@MBenzNL.com
send him an e-mail.

Or perhaps you can order the parts from your local MB dealership.

I bought my '05 facelift from Steve about a year ago, so I'm not sure if the prices are the same. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure they are not, due to fluctuating Dollar vs Euro rates. Steve is based in Europe, but even so, I would be willing to say that his prices can beat just about any US MB dealership.

First I got Bi-Xenons for the Coupe.
I got the taillights, grill, and side-mirror blinkers separately.
and later I got clear fog-lights, but AMG type, that fit my AMG body kit.

I'm sure if you get the whole package deal, the price might be better.
Really, your best bet is to e-mail Steve directly, and he will work with you.

Gaston Rey from AutoClass is still around, I'm just not sure about his contact info. I think someone posted it here on these forums somewhere.
He might be able to get you the AMG bodykit being in Miami, and shipping to Puerto Rico. Other vendors are probably a bit pricier and farther (ie: Canada or Germany).

if you have an '05, YOU HAVE that grill on your car....


wait...
unless you're talking about having a SPORT SEDAN ????

That grill will ONLY fit the COUPE, not the SEDAN.

Besides Steve and other MB tuners in the USA / Canada, the only place to get OEM parts is the dealership Parts Department.

You should identify what kind of C230 you have in your profile.
Coupe or Sedan ??? They do not share many exterior parts, and it will make it much easier for people to answer your questions.

for the Sport Sedan,
the grill of choice seems to be the CL-style grill offered by Jerry at ForMyMercedes.com

there are other Expression type grills and eBay grills out there, that some people LOVE & others HATE !!

You have to modify the grille for it to fit, right?

Shoot me a PM for the AMG body kit. I can get the AMG replica for the W203 for 699$. It's made of a higher quality than OEM as well!

If you want authentic, I can source that as well, but I don't remember the pricing off the top of my head for that.

It's not direct replacement. However, with a bit of Dremmelling the bottom notches to match your original grill, you can make it work.

Both CitronC230K_03 and myself posted instructions / pictures on this whole process, somewhere on these threads. Probably around at least a year ago or so.

It's not hard, just requires a little work.
