I already have someone interested for these but I need to be safe about it first, don't wanna rip someone.

second, is it hard to remove them? anyone has step by step instructions for headlights removal? any help would be very appreciated...

Thanks

Before and after, Bi-Xenon Coupe done!

Finally it's my turn, Bi-Xenon convert, took us 3 hours to do it, the process is no joke at all.

So what's next?

I suggest a few more small appearnce mods that will make a huge difference for a small price:
1. Renntech spoiler (replica can be bought painted and shipped for < $400 CND)
2. Euro impact strips (< $200 CND painted)
3. Paint the grill black - trust me, looks better than the fake painted mesh grill.
4. Paint the hood vent black - gives the car a bit of a sporty look
5. Now that you know how to remove the bumper, remove the lower black mesh from the centre section of the grill - wait, you have a C320, so no FMIC ... hmmmm ... I think the plastic mesh looks terrible, I vote to remove it completely (like kineda's car) or replace with real metal mesh
6. Schatz chrome headlamp rings - the sedan BiX has more of an "edge" inside the headlamp (someone has posted pics of the difference before) and it looks better. You can add this "edge" with the chrome rings, I saw them on a black C320 with BiX and they looked great!

Looking good!

I already have a spoiler in mind, thought i told you before =)
not gonna worry about the euro side marker atm, the clear ones is good as of now.
I did think about getting a starless grille a CF one probably, remember Silver car and black is good combo, but i just changed to a 05 design grille, probably i will do this last.
Also my Lorinser side skirt should arrive soon, i can't wait to put it on!

anyways, thx for the opionions =) my car changed a lot in this summer, same as my bank account lol
