hi!! i have a 2k2 c-coupe and im trying to upgrade it a little but more...... im trying to find the new style grillthat comes in the 2005 model.... do anyone know where can i find it online? Also what other new parts from the 2005 model i can put onmy 2k2 model without major modifications??? Thanks in advance!!!

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.

wow!! thats exactly what i want....how much is it??if youdont want to post here emailme at rborrero@prtc.net

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.

ok.,. thanks i already emailedhim.. what about whereto get an amg bodykit for decent prices??i usedto buy from autoclass but i dont see them online anymore..so if you know a good place ill appreciate it!!! thanks!

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).

hey guys.. im new to the board and have a new 05 c230 in the black opal (i'll post some pics soon) but that grille that is in the picture is awesome... can i just get that seperately for our year's car? and if so is there another place to get it from besides steve..

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.

no i deff dont have the coupe.. its ther ss... i have never seen a grille like that in the pic above and i really liked it.. i guess my only choice of grilles are the one that some people on this site have already done. with the big logo on the front of it. what website do you guys order from and who has the best prices/selection? thanks guys

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?

ya is it a direct replacement fit or not? and how hard/easy is the install

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.

YES !
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.

aright thanks for the info.. im gonna have to search and read up on the instal you guys did so i can get an idea if i could do it myself. thanks guys

Front and Rear pieces? What about the tolerances?

Hey buddy, are you selling the mirror blinkers? Thanks
