2005 c230 bumper dimensions same as c32?
Hey everyone, my first post here. Just got my 2005 c230-SS 2 days ago and loving it! This is a great forum and provides such a great wealth of information for new MB enthusiasts like myself.
Well I have a few questions and would like your expert advice and opinion.
1) Plan on purchasing a nose mask (bra) for the car since I will be doing alot of highway traveling. I'm currently looking at the Colgan Car Bras
-Original Black finish ($89)
-Carbon Fiber ($109)
Which would be the better of the two choices?
2) There are currently no sizes made for theh 2005 c230 models yet. But since it sports the AMG bumper, I was thinking about ordering the size for the 2003 c32. Does anyone know if these two models have the same dimensions?
Thanks for your help.

The film we carry is by Venture, an ultra clear urethane film that is twice as rock chip resistant than its leading competitor, 3M. Here's a link to some pics of the clearbras installed on a variety of vehicles:
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ight=clear+bra
3M is quite visible due to the orange peel texture of their film. We've used their film in the past and have chosen to stick w/ Venture due to its excellent clarity and strength. Installation of paint protection film is also a big factor in the visibility of the film itself. Dust, debris and overstretching of the material can all lead to a very noticeable and unappealing install.
Anyone interested in obtaining more information about paint protection film, feel free to email us at sales@premiermobilegroup.com
We are based out of Northern California, but have traveled out of state for group buys, exotics car shows, large meets, etc. Anyone interested in setting something up in your area, please email us.
