sorry, i know, i ask a lot of questions.
you mean the front bumper?

pre-face lift in the US & ROW all look the same except ones with the sport pkg.

facelift ROW "classic" still uses the old bumper while Elegance and Avantgarde uses the new bumper seen on the "US Luxury" sedan. only the US sport comes with the AMG kit. ROW the AMG kit is optional.

US models does not follow the ROW, but are all based on the Elegance trim and Avantgarde trim.

Thank you for the clarification! I was under the impression that the single-slat front air-dam/fascia/bumper cover/ground fx were standard on US pre-facelift... I realise now that the single-slat was the US sport pre-facelift.
Mercedes and their frankenstein part selections!

So, off-topic for another question from the question-master:

In my pursuit to set myself apart (tastefully), I'm feeling like a Lemming amoung Lemmings with the AMG ground fx kit. You've obviously done something about that, do you have any suggestions???

Considering the authentic Brabus Mono V 2-P waiting for install this summer, I thought maybe going w/ the Brabus kit...

Hell I even fell in love w/ "leozip"'s car, the black avantgarde from Brazil w/ the facelift avant setup... plain but his wheels, lowering, and clean look set the car on fire IMO.

there are a lot of kits you can choose from. Carlsson, Brabus, MH-decent, Expression, Rieger, and Lorinser OR the replica stuff extreme dimension put out OR the kit luke geesy has. MH-decent & Expression shares the side and rear add-on, but with different front bumper. moderator Drexappeal has the MH-decent kit with quad fogs.

facelift Avantgarde looks good, but there is no add-on kit for it. Carlsson and Lorinser had the add-on kit for the pre-facelift.

mine's of course is the full Carlsson RS kit.

all of them are pretty much listed in this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...body-kits.html some pics might be gone, but you should have enough info to search for the pics.

I once mentioned I like the Fabulous kit and people told me to go buy a Lexus and I never said a word about them. I like the look of the kit.

hmmmm, i'm sensing a difference here between the US and UK spec'd cars ... only option i have control over in the settings/options menu is to have the lights on constant, and that puts my bi-xenons and the rear lights on all the time like DRL .... i'd much prefer if that setting only turned on the sidelights, as i have LEDs in there .... i am thinking that might be the DRL option you have

I know I'm meant to be in the Clk forum now, but that looks so much better than the red inserts you had. Great job. All you need now are Bi-Xenon headlights and possibly remove the smoke from the taillights and sidemirrors to bring some light back.

Luke... Car needs a drop badly reminds me of mine.. Exhaust!! The body kit you have i would have gotten the exhaust side taken care of first. Your rear trunk spoiler isn't positioned correctly. Your rims look amazing ;D I ran 265 in the rears before my drop and was rubbing with a full car of girls. I run 255 nows and haven't had an issue just yet. Get a light window tint too for your car. And you will have a one of a kind w203

side mirror tint is coming off tmrw, i completely agree. im also cutting the white parts (reverse lights) out of the tail lights. and yea those red insert rims were too much, took away from the beauty of the bodywork.i actually have projectors in my rooom going on in a few days too

thanks man! exhaust work is getting done tuesday, eisenmann race going on and my back windows are tinted at 35% i had to take off my front for inspection, but im going probably next weekend to get my front windows retinted 35% again. i absolutely loveeeee my new rims. AMGtestdriverNJ is the MANNN! gave me the rims for an AMAZING price. i was going to get AMG reps and get new rear tires, and use my old front tires (well, not old, they are actually brand new, they have about 150 miles on them lol) the total for the amg reps and new 265 rear tires would have been more than what im paying AMGtestdriverNJ for these legit AMG BRAND NEW 19's and 235 front 265 rears he is awesome. the tires and rims have literally less than 50 miles on them. i went to his house to pick up a throttle body and an intake manifold and i walked out with NEW RIMS AND TIRES at a scary low price. please i beg everyone to talk to him and see what other parts he has and take them off his hands. AMAZING stuff at an AMAZING price. he is selling some authentic Brabus 3pc rims gloss black with a chrome lip, authentic Brabus exhaust, high flow cats.. he has TONS of stuff.. HIT HIM UP!

thanks man! yea the 265s are MONSTERS i had some guy pull up to me today and was like, "bro, those are the biggest rear tires i have ever seen on a c class, combined they take up half of the car!" i just started laughing and then the light changed and floored it and i think he loved the taste of my exhaust and wanted more, because at the next light he pulled up again and revved his engine, again, i just laughed and left him in the dust behind me. silly audi a4... when will they ever learn

ps, hows the coupe coming along brotha man? i want some more pics as you continue to mod that naughty little girl
