Hello all,

I am a new member and not really into tuning, however, I am interested in updating my 2009 c300 Sport. I am probably(definitely) ignorant when it comes to switching out body parts as I have never before done it. So I thank you in advance for any answers and advice! Also, please forgive and take it easy on me for any silly terminology mistakes I make! 👍

Idea #1: I really, really dislike the stock front bumper on the '09s. I really LIKE the 2015 C Class Sport front bumper. I think the large, curvy air vents are quite sexy and I also like the lip that traces the curves on the bottom side. If you were to put that bumper on the '09 C300, you would have something(at least in my mind) that slightly resembles the new E Class Sport. Primarily due to the similar lines running down the old C300 and the current E Class. Does anyone else think that would look cool and more importantly, does anyone know of a company that makes something like that?

Idea #2: If idea #1 is not possible, I have a backup. I am a big fan of large air vents in front bumpers. I have seen the black series in my research. I really am a fan of the Black Series' simple, large intakes with out the fog lights. However, I'm not a fan of the wide body look. Again, is anyone familiar with a company selling the Black Series style bumper, but not in wide body?

Idea #3: I am sort of prefering the facelift rear diffuser and tailights. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Idea #4: I just remembered this. To round out what hopefully will be a sleek new look, I would like to change the side skirts to the simple, straight C63 style. Again, would appreciate recommendations.

If you have done anything similar I would love to hear about it and see pics!

Thanks!

Idea 3 and 4 are do-able 1 def not. Why not trade it in and buy or lease a new one. To change the front your talking a few grand.

Thanks for the advice. Actually want to roll with this one as long as possible, that's why I'm looking to update it a bit. Actually came across a post that showed a company called Bayspeed Aerokit that sells a narrow body BS front and rear bumper. Check it out see what you think. bayspeedaerokit.com

That's what I was gonna suggest. It's like 3800 plus paint. That'd be a nice down payment on a new one...

Why don't you like the sport front its gorgeous

you could buy a c63 conversion kit from one of the many vendors on the site but they run about 3000$+ you need to paint and install it all. But it does make the car look amazing and they have lots of threads with people who have done the conversion take a look it should not be hard to find

Thanks for the tip! I think I might have to find a cheaper alternative as I can't really justify putting that much into it.
