2003 Sport Package????

I'm going to trade in my 97 C280 Sport for a new C320, but I noticed on MB's website that they don't offer a sport package for 2003. Does anyone know what's the deal with the sport package for 2003? Thanks.
P.S. I'm talking about the US Versions.

I have seen a 2003 C320 wagon with an "Avantgard pakage" listed on the sticker. It seemed to contain the same items as the 2002 Sport package, except for the wheels and tires. It may have been a mistake, but have your sales rep do a check on the Starnet computer. It shows more options than the MBUSA build your own web site.

Where can one get a front body kit that makes a c320 look more like the AMG? I like that look.

OK, here are some ideas. I am sure others have ideas as well...

Springs - Eibach (can keep stock shocks) or H&R (stiffer ride and probably need stiffer shocks) - About $250 for the set.

Shocks - Bilstein or Koni (Koni's are adjustable) - about $550 for the set.

Sway bars - C32 bars from the dealer ($300), Eibach or some others.

Sporting exhaust - SuperSprint, Remus, others - about $600.

There. Combined with some nice wheels/tires (looks like you already did this), you get a nice sport package for less than $2000.

You can buy the AMG front bumper from the dealer, the car doesn't look that bad at all even without the AMG side skirts or rear bumper

They still offer the sports package in Canada on the 2003 models. So if you really want it come and buy it here.

Didn't you have to sign a document that you wouldn't sell the car to someone who would export it for a period of two years?
