i actually dont mind that look
i think it'd look very aggressive and modded
except for the grille, dont leave the sides chrome
c24owner had it like that and i hated it
if you're gonna paint the grille..black it ALL out

I like the idea about the bumper, looks better blacked out without the slits; (looks kinda like the Expression Kit, imo) but don't do the side marker like that, just get them color matched. Is that Shell car wash on Highway7?

I'm pretty sure it's a car wash in Mississauga since he lives there

Sal, your car now looks way better than that Just do the roof and tint your car and maybe your wheels if you're looking for a sportier look.

I just realized how much cooler that new 05 + luxury bumper is from the pre05 "sports" bumpers.

the car wouldn't look great no matter how crazy you paint your car, if it's stock looking that is

I think it looks alright. I like the idea, but the car might look weird at a different angle or lighting

If he does hopefully a better looking one than yours, that wing gives your car a very veilside jap look, not classy on a benz

White C
Looks alot more agressive/sportier blacked out. Just Black out the roof, tint it, and black out the air dam. Color match the side markers...rims look fine..

yeah the AMG bumper and lip will be #1 but people are saying keep the luxury bumper looks unique on my car so I'm confused... are there any lips for the 05+ luxury bumpers?

because that is the new Avantgarde bumper. luxury sedan never made any bodykit changes in Europe. They still look gay as ever like before.

there are NONE, but there is a CF lip for the CLK350 bumper. maybe with some modification you can get it to fit.



btw, black out the lower grille on the bumper looks pretty good.

I think a large wing and a white "EURO PERFORMANCE" windshield banner would really complete the look.
