Never seen fenders like that for the C230 (might be too BMW for a Merc ). Brabus has a hood with vents for their 6.1L V8 conversion, my guess is that it is available separately.

Cheers, BT

CF = carbon fiber, much lighter than the original steel lid.

xc240x has one - scroll down through the posts and you'll find a whole thread about it.

They make Z3 fenders for suvs, so it's only a matter of time until they take over! I wouldn't put anything past some people, so I'd say that it's always a possibility.
