New C320 Owner - Help!
Hey guys,
I actually just joined the forum, and also just brought a C320 (2003). It’s a great car and everything (6-speed manual, 6-CD-changer, Xenon lights, etc, etc), but it's the 'Luxury' edition rather than the 'Sport' edition. Of course I knew this when I was buying it – but I figured because I’m getting such a good deal on the car, I can just add those features on the car later.
So now I just came back from a Mercedes dealer and got a quote on the parts – $5,500 - not including installation and/or painting of certain parts. That’s way more than I expected – I mean the rear spoiler is $600, without installation costs. Does anybody know a somewhere online I could get these parts cheaper? I've been looking through eBay and I'm not really finding much. I see a bunch of spoilers for instance, but most aren't really the original one.
Basically, the parts I wanted were:
1. Front bumper (apron),
2. Side Rockets (skirts),
3. Back bumper,
4. AMG Wheels - which I now know about TireRack.com,
5. Rear spoiler.
Please advise.

Thanks!
I'm already trying to get on the bandwagon for the Rear spoiler...
Also, I have a question for anybody who's done this or asked this -- I was told by Mercedes that I cannot install a Navigation/Command system in my car because it had to be installed at the factory. I have a 2003 C-320, is this true? I see a lot of postings on eBay claiming that it most likely will work, how can I tell?

There was a thread earlier... an "amg conversion" thread at least.
I forget who, but a fellow MBworlder converted his 02' 240 i think w/ the amg look + dropped the car for the newer appearence. I dont recall it being THAT expensive.
I think steve and wanda can help you with the command

edit: btw - i had no idea you could even get the 320 w/ a six speed - soo cool
