SLR front kit for the C-Class W203
Browsing through the German eBay pages, I found these KITS for 1,000.00 EUROS that make your C-Class look like an SLR...
check out the attachments:
W203.7 C-Klasse Coupe
Limousine = Sedan.
don't know why the Mercedes Star on the front looks like it got melted or something... I guess Germans think that's cool ! Anyway, only because someone is bound to ask, here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT
eBay item # 7909717751
and if anyone is curious as of today, 1.000,00 EUROS = ~ $1,243.22 US Dollars, or $1,635.03 Canadian Dollars, or £666.25 British Pounds.
From what I gather, price doesn't include shipping or installation.
I think I'll go

Your eBay link doesnt work.
Because of the copyright of the MB logo, thats why they cannot show the MB star on the ad.
I am not sure if it is just a hood replacement or if you have to replace the bumper as well. Looks like the middle of the bumper has to make some room for the tip of the nose. I am not sure......

eBay link should work now... if not just do a search for the item #.
You're absolutely right on the MB star logo. Should of thought of that.
Looking at it closely, it seems it's a hood & bumper replacement. No way that nose tip will work on a stock bumper. I guess if I was really bored with my front look, I would go for it, but if I wanted an SLR I'd just go down to my neighborhood dealership and get one !! I wish !!

Looks more like the tip of the nose rests over the existing bumper & all that is is a hood/grille replacement. Tempting but a bit over the edge possibly

Personal opinion - Looks Great
Just changes the whole look of the W203 - well I guess it would be good to have this on for a while on your car . This kit along with Carlsson Side fender would make a good difference .

Thas one of those conversions that looks good only on certain models. The E, and the old SL class was pretty ugly..especially that black SL they had advertised. YUCK!

Next generation chasis
Next generation chasis will look something between the CLS class chassis and SLR fronts (combinations of both looks)... I wish I could post pics, but if I do I'll get in trouble...
That's my .002 cents
