What year is you w203? Is it face-lifted? If it is, there's a nice carbon fiber front lip that you can find on eBay for a pretty good price. On there you can also find the different rear wings that you can put on the W203. If eBay doesn't work for you, Gary from Suvneer is on this forum and his company can get these items and maybe a few other things for your car. I have heard/read on here that the fitment from their parts is very good and ususally no issues. Do read the Aftermarket Mods thread on this forum and you will find a lot of the answers for those initial, "just bought the car and....." type of questions. Good luck!

He's got a coupe, so none of those will work.

In order of personal preference, the options are:
1) Carlsson
2) Brabus
3) Fake Brabus


The Frabus ones are on ebay every so often - the others are a bit more difficult. Search for pics of them on here. I've got a Carlsson, obviously, and a couple others here have the Brabus, and I think there may be a Frabus or two as well.

EDIT: as shown by the first reply, adding the year of your coupe to either your sig or avatar information would help others answer your questions.
