Arrow style mirror mod

I am looking into upgrading the side mirrors on my Arctic White 2009 C300 4Matic Sport to the 2010+ arrow style ones. My question is, does anyone have a recommendation or suggestion for where to buy them? eBay has tons of options, however, I would prefer to base my source of purchase on a fellow MB DIYer's suggestion as they will be able to tell me how close a particular seller's product is to OEM.

Example ebay sellers for these mirrors include: 55Tech, Express Body Parts, Miracle Auto Design, etc

Thanks in advance!

There's a huge thread around here where we all bought from eBay. I got mine from 55Tech. Everything is still going well!

The most affordable option for 08,09 vehicles is the covers. I purchased these covers from eBay. They were easy to install and look better that the OEM covers. Only downfall is you still remain with the large mirrors



Here's a comparison on my car

No, bought new headlights from Mercedes Benz. The 2011 C class sport came with black housing on their headlights. You can also open your original ones and paint the housing black which others on the forum have done and its less expensive but time consuming. LaminX has a tint for them also but I've never seen it in person so can't comment on that
