Hello!

As you can read in the title I came from Spain (in fact, I apologize for my bad English) and I have a 2000 Mercedes C220 CDI which I "inherited" last year when my father boughts a new car.


Since that, I spent a lot of hours (and many of my savings) setting up it. Among other things I've done:

Bilstein B12 pro kit (Bilstein B8 + Eibach springs)
Suspension Strut Support Bearing, Front Axle Left&Right
Mounting, link, Front Axle Lower Left and right
Stabilizer, chassis, Front Axle
Rod/Strut, stabiliser, Front Axle Left and right
Mounting, Stabilizer, Front Axle left and right inner
Mounting, Stabilizer, Rear Axle left and right
New filters: oil / air / pollen / diesel
Motul oil for motor (spec MB 229.5)
Gearbox oil (spec MB 235.10)
Rear transmission oil (spec MB 235.7)
New thermostat and antifreeze (spec MB 325.0)
New brake fluid (spec 331.0 MB)
Common rail return pipes
Accessory belt and her tensioner
10 parking sensors kit look OEM
AMG body kit
Removed little oxides (endemic problem of the w203 as I could read) and painted.

Unfortunately, there aren't so much offer or aftermarket in Spain as you can find in EEUU so I couldn't find an original amg bodykit or parktronic.

Even with my current problem (the fog grilles) I could not find a solution in the Spanish forums.

Here are some pics about how it was and how it looks right now (and you'll can see my problem)








One day, I read this topic (https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...r-install.html) but it hasn't any solution :/

I already have the ref. A2038850153 grill as you can see in the pics below and I make a template with the sizes of the grill I really need.


I know there are a lot of people with amg bumpers in his cars here so I hope to find someone here who can tell me which reference is consistent with the dimensions of the template. It would be awesome.

what I need (¿¿Ref??)

you have to correct grille for the bumper, the fact that the light doesnt fit the hole tells me that the after market fog light might be for another car like the coupe, of sl. the c55 amg fogs were round lights for 2006 and on(i believe) you can look on ebay and find grille or change the fogs, when you take the light out it will fit a certain way in the bumper but you cant put left on right and right on left. i would get some wire cutters and cut the side and roll back the mesh part to fit the hole better or buy new lights. and unroll the other side, might need to respray them black if the paint chips of.
