I photoshoped it but I didnt try to make them look thin. Here is how they look without being photoshoped.
The front is 35 and rear is 30.

Any word on the grill?

I know a lot of people really want this. Also just do it for Glyn. The guy has saved soo much money for our members (including myself) that I think you guys should make one atleast for him.

Not trying to kiss *** or anything just stating a fact.

The truth about Glyn is he is a mob boss. See the story goes (they called him Glyn M Ruck the MB bomber by the way) Glyn knew soo much about MB and how to plant bombs that were full proof and they never knew it was him. He was soo good at what he did that one day he decided to do a hit on a local mob boss so he can gain control. Here was the problem though, the local mob boss drove a BMW. Glyn had no experience with BMWs. Glyn had to make a move and he had to do it quick. Then it hit him since BMWs are crap and always brake down Glyn thought to himself what if I make the dealer give the local mob boss a Mercedes rental. So that's what happened. This was Glyn ticket to Money, Power and Respect. So he did the hit and he took out the mob boss. Soon everyone was calling Glyn "Don Glyn" or "Godfather Glyn". He kept making moves and soon he was unstoppable. He once killed a man with his bare hands just for looking him in the eye. If you look up Glyn in the dictionary you will see that it means "Fear" and that's what people had. The collapse of the Glyn mob family came when technology on Mercedes became more sophisticated. Glyn being the smart man he is decided enough is enough and decided to retire. It is said he retired somewhere in South Africa where he is surrounded by tons of women, that feed him grapes all day long - paradise.

Now to answer your question, since Glyn was an expert on MB (planting bombs on them-especially the w203) he decided to give back to the MB community by helping out other members. When members post questions he helps them resolve the issues thus saving a lot of money because the owners would have taken it to an MB Dealer.

So do an old Mob Boss a favor and make a C55 grill for the w203.

No - but Mattig make a similar grill, in some respects, for the Coupe.

The Sedan - C55 grill would really update the nose of the car pleasantly - I love it.

Mav - when your yaw sensor fails take it to the dealer - hand over cheque book, credit card & deeds to your house & tell them to fix - cost no object

I bet we could get a feeler thread over in the C32 section and we'd see more interest in that since its actually functional and beneficial for the c32s and possibly 55s (though i think they're hood is different since they are like part not W203)
Just because Brabus makes a product it does not mean you just go and buy it like a real DUMBASS.. be a genious and show us something cheap and good, i mean take this as an example , if brabus is charging me 1200 dollars for a front lip , it better be damn good because the whole car just cost me 9500. If brabus made a ***** that hangs on a rearview mirror would you buy it? (of course you would , you would just make sure it has a "B" on it, and tell all the people in the forum that you have a new product from Brabus). I just said that i thought it looked rice that's all , i Do not like it!!! You can do as you like with your car , you are going to be the one on the driver seat , not me.

first off, no reason to call me a dumbass. if you really want to take this at an intelligence level, you've got no chance friend. i never said i would buy it solely because it was brabus. i find it hard to believe that you consider that rice. rice is extra crap that is put on cars that has no function. for example, a hood scope on a car with a hood that does bring in air from there, or perhaps a fartcan that sounds loud and annoying, or a roofscoop on a car with a front engine.

Frank and I suggest the CF, vented hood because it is a fully functional lighter weight hood that helps reduce IATs for those of use that have concerns with perfmrnace ***** like that (not that i would expect you to share the same concern). the whole point of suggesting to replicate it in this thread is to make it CHEAPER.....duh. why else would i suggest it? so someone else can make it more expensively? *****, my CF spoiler is a replica i got for 120 bucks, shipped.....not the regular 399 or what may you....I am not a "name *****" and do not buy products based on name. i buy them on function and quality. thats it.

and regarding your brabus "*****" comment, i guess its difficult for someone to relate who is clearly lacking. If brabus ever made a ***** and i for some reason I DID buy it, i guess that would make you a buyer of Brabus ******.....and instead of hanging it in your car from the rear-view mirror, you use it as it is directed. don't forget the brabus lube either.

you should take your imaginary brabus ***** idea and suggest it in the C63 forum. you might get some interest there.
