Welcome!

Those wheels look abit different compared to C63 wheels? Maybe you did some custom black finish to your wheels?

Like others said, BiX if you can find a set OR start easy by getting an elegance grille/+05 grille.

I would not be in a hurry to toss the wheels. I think they look really good.

Welcome to the forum! You have the same stock grille that I have in Canada. If you do go for a CL grille, I think the 4 fin looks better than the 3 fin and fits better. +1 on the projectors--see my sig for how it looks with the CL grille.

Your current wheels look good, so you might want to consider keeping them for a while

Our sponsor ED is running a GB on 3 slats grille with no vertical/no star in CF/FRP finish. I just thought you might've been interested.

Thanks for the comments

I will deffinatley get the headlights and grill soon.

I will keep these wheels for now, i think they look good. Also the black inserts match up with the color of the car aswell.

FYI, the 3-slat is for the w209/C55, for the w203 it's a 4-slat, but cheaper.

There is a 3 Fin/Slat grill for the w203.

This picture is from a Merc Local Shop Called Car Shine.

There's a GB for Sprint Booster in the sponsor section. TheGodFather is the seller

You might want to contact him or find his thread...

Hey guys how hard is it to change over the headlights? I beleive you dont have to completley remove the whole front bar, you can just unbolt the sides and just pull down to get to the bolt? Is that were the hidden bolt is next to the bumper/fender?


Thanks.
