hey aurora, i got my pre-painted side reflectors from evosport.com....they are basically oem reflectors that have been painted to match the body color. i paid $99 for them....but i bet you could just get your own relectors painted at a local auto body paint shop for less than $50 or so.

Frank, if you order from Hoehn, I can pick it up for you if they have it ready by this Saturday, and bring it up to the Aug 21 meet. Just let them know you're going to have someone pick it up for you. I don't mind.

xxbenzc230kxx, the part # for the sport spoiler is #B6 688 3010. i don't know what the part # is for the actual C55 spoiler and how much it costs. i'd try contacting steve for the part # because I believe he's selling them.
I'd be interested to know the part # & price for the actual C55 spoiler too, thinking of putting it on my wife's '05 C320 sedan. Please post, if anyone finds out.

pre-painted side lens

This might sound like a stupid question, but do they still light up at night thru the painted lens?

yes the light does shine though....but i didn't like it cuz the light was dim....so i just used a plastic tie to secure the light (still attached in the socket) to the inside of my car bumper....this way the error light doesn't come on, and the light doesn't shine through the reflector....it's a very simple and effective solution.

sorry the door sills aren't installed yet... but no, the stock sills are just black plastic with a thin plain metal plate.
