I'd think the front bumper would be the same, but not sure about the rear bumper and obviously the sideskirts wouldn't be long enough.

Didn't Steve get the AMG kit for his wagon? C_Wagon, check with Steve (MBenzNL).

Is the wheelbase on the wagon really longer than a C230/240/320/32/55 sedan to make the side skirts incompatible? I'm not convinced.

From this picture you can see that the rear bumper is certainly different, but the sides might actually be the same. Steve would definitely know.

FrankW

wheel base is the same, so the sideskirt would be the same. Only the rear bumper on the wagon would be different.

drexappeal

Oh ****! My bad. I'm so used to JDM's, which usually have a longer wheel base.

You're right. It does appear that the rear bumper would be the longer portion.

MBenzNL

203 wagon and sedan skirts are the same...only thing different is the rear bumper (as far as kits are to be concerned)

greetingz,

Steve, is that an AMG kit that you have on your wagon, (rear bumper included)? I was thinking of putting a front bumper, sideskirts and forgetting about the rear bumper.

I just bought an AMG exhaust from a forum member and he also gave me an AMG bumper with a crack & side skirts. But one of the side skirt is broken in half. & there is no rear bumper. I'm not sure if the body kit is OEM or replica.

I wasn't planning to install any bodykits but since this was for free I might as well.

If one of the sides is cracked in half can it be fixed or should I just get a new one?

Also will the AMG exhaust fit with the regular bumper or do you need an AMG bumper for that?

MBenzNL

yes - the kit on my car is an AMG kit (original mercedes)...and I will get the mercedes AMG exhaust for the 270CDI as well (already ordered it a long while ago but delivery time sucks)...

go for teh complete AMG kit

greetingz,

There is a chance for it to crack again anytime you hit something hard (especially if you lower your car).
So I'm not sure if it's worth the money to fix it.

So I had a little bit of time before I head to lunch to edit this thread and instead of linking to all the sites, I've replaced some links with pictures. I will make more changes when I get the chance.

I have a slight dilemna. I wanted to go with the Fabulous aero, but my wife who also drives the car doesn't like how the front bumper jets out and is afraid to have a parking "incident". Haha, before you say back it in or any of the assorted comments...that's not the question. I also don't want her to screw it up, but was wondering what front bumper would best match the rest of the aero. As long as it matches up with the skirts then it should be fine. Keep in mind that I want it to have a similar style, not too rounded off. It's not a question of not going with the rest of the Fabulous aero..that we want. So any ideas?? Here's a photochop I did of how it should look with the Fabulous aero and Expand wheels (yes, it will be on bags):

hmm maybe the carlsson front will go with it. or the kleemann front.

NG C-Klasse

I was thinking possibly the Kleeman too, but I'm not sure how far down it goes. I don't want the front bumper sitting up way higher than the skirts. What to do. I do fiberglass and shaping work and thought about just modding the Fabulous bumper to suit my needs. I just finished rear over fenders and nose panel on my Z, so maybe that's the best route...unless there's a bumper we aren't thinking of.

rlee02135

i'd say just go with the full fabulous kit. it will look the best because they make it as a set to match and look nice together.
how much is it gonna cost? if you want a replica, autoblz sells them for $1200. i never bought from them, and havent heard good things about them though

dronellis, I'm aware you're a sponsor, but please keep the promotion/sales of your body kits in a seperate thread or in the Classifieds. This thread is primarily to show what is available. That is the reason I re-configured it a bit, mainly to show pictures and the manufacturers websites (which, for the most part, do not have pricing).

oopsss sorry ...

NG C-Klasse

Well, I had a talk with my wife and we are going to get the full kit. But I would never buy fake Fabulous aero. I'm a Fabulous dealer...so my cost will be far different than most people and buying a replica would be blasphemy. I'm also a dealer for WALD, Auto Couture, Junction Produce, and others. So replica aero is not my thing...but hey, that's just me and my opinion. I don't totally frown on others for it..that's their deal.

FrankW

yea, if you want do bodykits definitely go with full kits instead of mix and matches. I'm not a fan of mix and matches except in few cases.

rlee02135

hmm, what do you think of me mixing an amg front with rieger rear and sides?

FrankW

your side and rear is going to be way too low than the front.

rlee02135

yea, how do you think it'll look with the cf front lip? that will add about 2 inches

FrankW

the lip only adds about 1"

the rieger lip is 3" lower than the stock bumper. The AMG front bumper is about the same height as the oem sport bumper.
