2003 C240 Sedan, Want styling advice!

Hey,

New here. Just picked up a black C240 sedan. I really want to give it an "updated" look. Make the car look newer and more aggressive tastefully.

Anybody have any advice on things to do?

I've looked around and haven't seen much styling support for this car. Thanks

The "new" clear headlights and fog lights. A spoiler, whether for the trunk or rear windshield, or both. Adding in the rear diffuser to the bumper and (if not equipped) maybe 2 exhaust pipes. The aftermarket new style turn signal mirrors would be a good touch as well. Then you can dive into some rims and suspension.

All good advice! Do you know what car the clear headlights and spoiler would come off of that would fit my car?

Instead of the new-styled headlights (2005-2007), I'd reccomend getting HID projector headlights. OEM ones are more or less $900 while DEPO replicas are about $350. They are "just as good" and visibility is miles better than the foggy headlights you have now.
AMG front bumper is always a good idea.
Since your car is black, blacking out the side markers would look good. A trunk lip is also a good idea if you can find one for a decent price.
Wheels/suspension wise-it can get expensive

Fit BiX, new repeaters in mirrors & clear fogs as a start as suggested by neurodave.

My old 2003 C240 which came new with Bix & clear glass fogs. I also ran 235 tyres all round.
