LorinserCClass said earlier in the thread that MH-DEZENT = Expression (i.e. one used to distribute for the other). There are distributors in the US for Expression's parts, so you might want to see if they can get the MH-DEZENT kit, which basically looks the same w/ exception to the dual foglights (which I'm sure could be replaced).

I believe Evosport sells the Expression kit for the C Class, so you might want to check with them also. They are also an MBWorld sponsor.

b3d_sage

really? I had already looked as Expression's website and I didnt see one that looked like the MH-DEZENT

The front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper are exactly alike. Only difference is the fogs. Here are some pictures to compare:

Expression Classic and Motorsport pics

MH-Dezent pics:

If you compare the front bumper of the MH-Dezent (supposedly a new bumper) and the Expression front bumper, you'll notice the only difference is the dual round fogs vs. single oval fog.

b3d_sage

for some reason they are looking different to me. not major difference but in size of the fog area's and bottom of the central area thingy

am i crazy?

drexappeal

I hope you're not crazy.

Just messin'. Could be 2 reasons you think it looks different. 1) the Expression fog takes up the center of the grille and the MH-Dezent fogs split the grille. 2) The Expression pics appear to have a darker colored grille and the MH-Dezent pics have the silver colored grille.

When you really look at it closely and you compare the side skirts and rear add-on, LorinserCClass' explanation of them being the same company and/or one distributing for the other is right on the money.

b3d_sage

meh, i suppose you could be right... i shot them an email asking if there was a distributor in the US. maybe they will say "Expressions" :P

drexappeal

Or you could always contact Evosport and ask them if the Expression parts are the same as MH-Dezent and if so, would they be able to get the MH-DEZENT front end?

Or PM one of the Evosport guys that are members on this forum.

I'm liken the MH-Dezent bumper. I hope it's not expensive. I think there definately is a dif btw it and the Expression. The bottom of the Exp juts out a little more. Unless i'm crazy too.

b3d_sage

I think the problem MAY be that we only have that one shot of the MH-Dezent. I'm think that because of the angle it actually does jutt out as far as the Exp. I would like to get the MH-Dezent lights, though. Porbably it's going to be a PITA for me to get the paint for it since I have, I believe, the ONLY purple Benz in DFW!

dchou

Agreed. I don't really like the lights. It'll look better without em.

EDIT: you see the bottom of the MHDecent bumper? there's a cut out where the bottom meets in the middle. In the expression, there's none. I like the way it looks this way. Anyone have more pics?

Anybody know what the Lorinser CL-Style Front Hood looks like?

I saw the pricing on salvatoremotorsports, but haven't seen that. I'm assuming it's a complete replacement of the hood w/ a replacement front grille. The cost of the part alone is $2,999.

Expression...

Blake,

You get that grille piece in yet? I'm pretty excited because my MH-Dezent roof spoiler is going on the car tomorrow!

Yeah, yeah, I know...take pics...LOL...Well, since tomorrow is my b'day I might just make a trip to Best Buy to get a digital camera gift for myself.

nlpamg

Drex,

awesome! I want to see the spoiler! hopefully my stuff will be in and I can get them put on tomorrow too!

as for your other posts, I don't think I'll have time tomorrow to meet up, but Friday for sure...

drexappeal

No problem, bro. I figured you'd be busy with class. Only thing is, if I don't end up getting a camera to use, I won't be able to take pics.

mig888

Drex, about your request a while ago. Sorry to say that it's a no go, the damn thing is about as rare as the steak I'm grilling for Darwin :\. And the exhaust? get it locally, it will cost you less overall.

drexappeal

flip, no prob. I appreciate your checking anyway. At least I can concentrate on how I'm gonna get my rims first.

Man, if only you guys were in So-Cal! You would've had my business for sure!

BTW, it's looking like I might be heading up North next weekend (4th-6th). I'll hit you up again at the beginning of next week to confirm.

mig888

Oh damn, definitely hit us up man. That might be the same week blake may be in town (since he moved to Fresno). LMK, i'll probably be able to meet up with you.

Blake P

Nope. Darwin at Carlab basically lied saying he mailed it out to me a couple weeks ago, but now won't pick up my calls...so I'm guessing he never ordered it in the first place. I contacted Expression directly and ordered it myself, like I should have done in the first place. Like they say, if you want something done right...

gaiex

Thats the best looking front bumper after the AMG one for the C class
