W203 Front Conversion to S-Class

I was browsing around cardomain and I saw this w203 with a S-Class front end. It looks amazing. Just wanted to share this, and if anyone with information on how could this was done, please post because I want to do this to my w203.

Car belongs to "mannybenz" from cardomain

For me it looks like the bumper got a funny paint job, its either the wrong color or flat white. There is a video on his cardomain but my browser wont allow me to see it =/ so i doubt its ps'd. Would look meaner if that car a slatless carbon fiber grill.

Photoshop.. and stupid looking. The CLK style grille makes the W203 look cross-eyed, and this is even worse. The S-class headlights are far, far too large for the W203.

I agree with the photoshop.. The lower part of the bumper looks like it is missing a piece and the lower part of the headlights look like they are tucked in to the bumper..

I really want to find out if this is really Photoshopped so,

I did a little research on this "mannybenz" with google search, and I actually found the guy's myspace (stalker skills ) with a bunch of pictures and photoshoots.

It seems to be legit, unless he took many hours photoshopping all those pictures

Would look better with impact strips & chrome on the front bumper.

Why would you want to do this to a C-class? A used S-class can be found for < $10K, and surely you'd spent a lot doing this modification.

s-class conversion.

Yea the conversion took about 1 yr to complete. We started with engine mods, complete suede interior and headliner, complete audio setup , Fenders with carbon fiber inserts, carbon fiber diffuser and front lip, and then molded the lorinser trunk spoiler and added the rear window visor.Then we finished it off with Mandrus 3 piece wheels. 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in the rear. Overall i have been in the customization scene all of my life, so this project was very detailed and time consuming. I am happy with the out come and many people might comment on why spend the money and not buy another car, but the point is to be different in the car show scene and have a one off car that nobody has. But at the end of the day the car is appealing to alot of people and wins trophies at shows.
