Which front bumper should I install?

Hello guys!

I don't post that much in here, but I own a 2004.5 Alabaster White C230 Kompressor.

I love the new AMG front bumper that comes with the 2005 C Class, but its seems too pricey for a bumper many guys have already, knowing that with the same amount of money I can buy another one.....

I want to buy a front bumper, but I don't know if I should go Brabus, Lorinser or go with the AMG...

Which one do you think?

I can REALLY notice the difference between the AMG and the 2004.5 front bumper, in some places called the "Avantgarde"...

Where is the cheapest place I can order an original front AMG bumper?

I've seen some really good prices on "reconditioned" primed AMG front and rear bumpers on ebay.

I'm guessing the black mesh grilles should be decently priced from your dealer's parts department. Don't forget about the clear oval fogs, which can be bought pretty reasonably from Steve (MBenzNL).
