thx phil,

lip looks like the Carlsson lip replica btw. I'll review the quality of the two tomorrow.

basically half CF lip vs full dry CF grille.

called you earlier btw...about the lip...lol

and it's AirForce 25. not Kobes.

this w204 lip fits I would say better than the w203 version already. there's only a slight 1-2mm more gap just below the driverside foglight. however I believe it's adjustable if I spent a little more time aligning it before drilling the holes for the screws. total 8 screws on the bottom.

here are the pics.

and the sun went down

Wow! Your grill and splitter combination looks very sharp.

Exceptionally well done, Frank.

I just wish that bolt wasn't so visible. Maybe I can just paint it black.

if the ebay lip seller is JL motoring then he has my authorization using the pics he took of my car. if not, then might be a different seller.

yea, I'll probably paint it black when i get a chance to. doesn't bother me that much since my Carlsson RS kit on the w203 also has couple bolts on the bottom showing where it is used for mounting the foglights.
