I can't remember the spacer sizes on the top of my head atm but I did need it to clear the front brakes. Anyways, I'm running 17x9 with Federals RSR 255/40 all around.

The rear bumper component is a diffuser.

2005 C230 Sport
Here's my 2005 C230 sport. Just got done doing a major overhaul to the motor. Found the small oil leak located in the front of the engine; changed out the camshaft magnetic solenoids, all seals, wire harness, and plugs. Also changed out all filter elements, fuel filter, 13 pin connector linked to the tranny which was leaking, gaskets on the tranny pan, tranny filter, tranny fluid, spark plugs, 2 bypass hoses ( liquid ), drained and refilled coolent system, and oil / filter change. Went with Mobil 1 synthetic 5w/40w for high mileage ( this car has 140K miles ). Car runs smooth and brand new. Now, it's time for some aesthetics and performance. Next project is to bring her lower to the ground; followed by rims / tires.

I haven't had the opportunity to put my spacers and summer rims on but I did want to show off how the amg lip looks on a stock bumper.
Took about an hour, i could have used bolts, zip ties w/e but i used galv baling wire to tension it to the right spot. Much easier than expected. The bumper had three prefabed holes on each side, on the lip i made a few and pulled her up. Gratefully I went with this than the ez lip.

So when I bought it from carking they kept warning me it was meant for amg. I couldn't find another option with my budget that looks better. This car gets heavy driving and no complaints, looks sweet

@WillSwerv if you need the hood ornament let me know. I can send one to you free of charge. I should have one laying around. What happened to the grill?

Very much appreciated, I have ordered a new trunk star and hood ornament. The grill was scratched from breaking off the star.
So I was playing with the idea of a sunken back grill and thought about how nobody gets to see such a nicely placed horn.
I've never seen a w203 with a benly look cross thatch grill.
I really love 203's and wanted to emphasize on the grill intake. So the grill is a yay or nay, I could easily do one solid piece.?

Thanks man. I think if you trimmed the back more so it wasn't as wide, depth wise, and brought the edge closer to the bumper, would look great. Maybe I will got that route w/ mine...

Here's my 05 C240 4matic just picked up, new daily/commuter/train station car...

Perlite Grey Metallic. 98k miles.
Not sure what packages but it doesn't have command and doesn't have full-power memory seats, also doesn't have the bi-xenon lights. However, it's in pretty nice shape just needed some TLC. I didn't even want to take pics before I cleaned it up - it was gross. Sent it through the auto wash twice, had them clean interior, then I brought it home and did a quick interior detail. When It's warmer out she'll get a full ~3hr detail treatments. I like my cars clean.

needs some TLC and maintenance items done - already ordered a bunch of parts....

Great observation, It's an easy enough fix.
I didn't want to be the first to post about this but at least it doesn't point up.

I may be jointing you shortly as "those guys with AMG lips on their non AMG bumpers" as I was planning to go custom lip on my other car, so this will be good practice

@ Benzo Lenny that car is sick...
