Newbie w/ 02 C240 mod sfuff...vendors welcome

Hi, ive been searching this forum for around a month now, ever since i purchased my c240. Car was bone stock when i got it, ive done some modifications since then, trying to get away from the old mans car look. 25mm h&r spacers in the rear, im assuming brabus knock offs 18", single fin grill & debadged, rolled rear fenders, custom stainless cat back/ress delete, k&n filters, 7'' double din etc.

Gonna add a rear trunk spoiler and headlights in the near future.

Im looking for a front lip/spoiler without getting the amg bumper. I just dont think its worth it to drop that kind of cash on this car, especially since im completely happy with the front/rear bumper and side skirts. This is all I can find for the non amg http://www.ultimatemotorx.net/20mecw...tm_content=pla
Im looking for something cf that sticks out from the front a little.

I wouldnt mind a rear diffuser if i can get one without needing a new rear bumper. If not, I can make one.

I'm not new to the car modification world and can work on every aspect of my car myself if need be. Ive built a few turbo motors with success, and am a machinist/fab/weld/elec guy by trade.

So far I love this car and am hoping its as reliable as it is solid. Its my first merc and if it proves reliable im already debating what my next merc will be.

I looked on their site and didnt see one. It looks like I might just have to retro-fit an amg front lip. Im keeping the suspension where it is. On harsh bumps I get rub in the back, and the wheel gap is the same from front to back, and its got a sweet rake. Im not looking to do a dub, im much more into the performance look/feel. Ive lowered the front already, but thanks for the lead on carlsson.

Looked up some of those, with those prices it would almost cost the same to get an entirely different bumper.
