Not a fan. Looks too flat and boxy...like they took the car and put it on a slightly bigger chassis that it wasn't designed to go on. It doesn't flow very smoothly AT ALL with the rest of the W203 bodyframe.

And are fog lights supposed to be almost as big as your headlights?

Yea... this is one of my least favorite kits for the 203 :x

IIRC, it requires some massive fender rolling too...

Im pretty sure you can find those w/o the whole kit... Assuming you mean the bar between the larger portion (high beam / city) of the headlight and the smaller portion (low beam/Blinker).

Yeah I was thinking about the vinyl but it would look awkward I think if there is no texture or "raised" bar. I know there are those chrome or black rings they sell on ebay, but I don't want to go through the hassle of getting them painted. I dunno, I have seen the bars for sale before a looooong time ago, but I can't find them for the life of me now... any suggestions?

In my opinion those headlight bars are pretty poser like angel eyes on a benz.

As for the kit . . .

Looking at the picture, if you were to put the CL grill on it and maybe murder it out, i think it would make it look better.

I don't know. I don't think there is much that will help that thing look better.

Is that front bumper designed to double as a little bench for the hot model chicks to sit on when they get tired from posing for pictures at meets and shows?

LOL, at least it would make the car look like a bad attempt at a C63.

Comparison:
