Yeah, as WaveyKat said I needed 2 things for the rear before I post pics of it...
1. Tow hook cover (that couldn't be reused from my old bumper);
2. AMG Exhaust (I was just going to do the tips, but why not the whole thing! - On zee way!)
So yeah, I should have both those parts in the next 2-3 days and have them installed over the weekend, so more pics to follow!
I should have been like rlee and started my own modding thread!

Hey, more pics from a mini-mini-NYC meet (tee_tz and WaveyKat), just after coming from Mercedes-Benz Manhattan picking up some parts, we pulled over in the center of the street and just bust out the camera took a couple of shots. Not great photos, but just some quick ones.
By the way, we tore up the West Side Highway... I just thought I'd say that.

Looking at all the pictures, why does your car look bigger than mine? I'm telling you the C32 AMG Bumpers are bigger and different from the C-Class AMG "Inspired" Bumpers... Think about it - the dual exhaust tips can't fit in a normal C-Class AMG Rear Bumper; the front looks SLIGHTLY different... 
After the exhaust and the spoiler, we'll do better pics!
I need to pass by Enzo's tonight - cut, cut, cut that bumper!

Forgot to put new pics of the rear - I've got the C32 AMG Muffler installed and also got the tow-hook cover. The only thing missing now is the C55 AMG Spoiler, that I need to get painted and then I'll installed.
I've got some more pics to share as well... Hey, I've just started my own modding thread!! Can we change this to "Tee_Tz's Modding Thread" ... a story of changing a luxury 2003 C320 into the world's 1st 6-Speed Manual C32 AMG.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For those who have W203 Sport Sedans that want a C32 AMG Muffler, I can confirm that the C32 AMG Rear Bumper cover is different from a C230/320/350 AMG Rear Bumper cover. The cutout for the exhaust is wide, by design. Therefore, what you need to do is have a body shop cut the rear bumper - my guy did an 'okay' job considering he used measurements - as he wasn't the one welding the exhaust on. As you can see from the pic it's not perfect, but in person it doesn't actually look as bad, it looks almost natural - or rather you can't really see the cutout.

A sunny day, thought I'd take some pics....
Before the car wash! I hate light interiors - it took me like 2 hours to clean and it's not much different.
My brother's 3-Series (before Mods I should say... next time I post it it'll looks like a ZHP)

Front AMG bumper: $400 shipped.
Grilles (for AMG bumper): $100 shipped.
Fog lights (for AMG bumper): $60
License plate bracket (for AMG bumper): $78
TOTAL: $638 for parts.
All other parts you can re-use from your old bumper, and then of course you have the painting and installation fees, this is where the price can escalate quickly.
The rear bumper is a little easier. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

So let's see, what parts are left for my C320 -> C32 conversion:
1. C32 AMG Sway Bars
2. C32 AMG Brakes (is this just fronts or rear as well?)
3. C32 AMG Suspension
4. C32 AMG Supercharger.... hm... this is right about where it gets tricky.
5...??

2004 C32 ///AMG
Nope, I'm gonna do it soon. I want the BMW ZHP Exhaust sound. The BMW 335i Coupe sound, not the Infiniti G35 Coupe sound - you know... I want it to sound loud enough to hear inside of the car, but not loud enough to hear from a block away.... Dunno if that makes sense??

but i'd suggest the Kleemann s/c because it'd be a lot easier.

Yes I need those... unfortunetely it's so hard to find those on eBay or MB Forums - at the dealership they want $390 for each, unpainted... Hmm, for that money I could get a C55 Spoiler or a Comand, or something else. But I'll get them soon cause my car is still somewhat 'incomplete', pictures to come I guess ...

True that - end links, I need that whole setup. Wow, it's gonna be a looooong conversion, but slowly and surely. Hopefully I don't get bored with the car, especially as the W204 rolls out this summer. The white one looks AMAZING on MBUSA.com.
