Thanks for that

Hey guys would anyone know if the chrome Elegance grill from a 05+ model w203 would fit my late 2002 model? Is the hood/body shape the same?

Might be a silly question but thaught i would jsut double check since they have update headlight bumper and grill from factory.

Thanks,

bdgdl08

Absolutely. All of the front ends for the w203 are the same, barring the C55.

benzc200k

Thanks Andrew.

No problem! So, if I understand your post, you're doing a front-end facelift. Updated headlights and grill?

benzc200k

Yep thats right.

Headlights, grill and possible the bumper aswell.

Should freshn up the front a little bit.

Sounds great, especially if it is a good deal. Now it's my turn to ask the question: What is the difference between the two bumpers?

benzc200k

I ment bumper as in the SS bumper. Like yours

bdgdl08

OH! I see now. That will look very nice. Now just look into getting the side skirts and rear bumper. The front will be a great upgrade, but the lines will flow much better with the full kit.

Just got a 05 model grill :

nice !

Your c63 wheels look great. You could probably get the AMG style bumper with the euro impact strips then a lip and you'll be set.

I'd get clear headlights or projectors before the bumper. It'll make a bigger difference to the overall look IMHO.

Thanks guys,

I am looking into getting either clear headlights or projectors ASAP. But it is hard to find original OEM Bi-xenons. I think $1800 per side is ridiculas for brand new bi-xenons from MB dealership.

The grille looks GREAT! I'm honestly not a fan of CL grille.

If I were you, I'd be patient and wait for a deal on BIX. Don't waste money on other headlights.

I do know 2 sets of OEM BIX for sale here, but one set has black painted housing and the other one has silver painted housing. You can search the classifields if you're interested. Shipping fee could be quite alot tho..

Original
1800 US Dollars for a set and the real deal

benzc200k

Yeah i think i will wait untill i find a good pair at a good price.

Parts in the U.S are alot cheaper then here in Aust, but the only thing is we are RHD here so i dont think LHD lights are a good option.

B189s

HAHA that's alot of money

I actually just remembered that steve still sells OEM BIX for alot less than 1800 USD. OP should contact MBenzNL!
