Sport Bodykit from eBay

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any experience with this kit? Looks pretty good and with free shipping, the cost is very attractive.

I would obviously have to get it painted and stuff but what do you think?

Depends on the material. If it's DuraFlex your shop is going to be putting a good deal of extra time into sanding and filling to get the finish you expect.

Another way to go is to find the pieces OEM used on EBay. I did a 220 Sport conversion that way. Parts were relatively cheap and of course no fitment issues. Just make sure the front bumper comes with the lower grilles and both bumpers have the tow eye covers. Those bits alone can run hundreds new. Brackets were universal.

yeah I've been trying that but almost everything on ebay is without grills and other pieces and only the bumper. That's why I'm interested in this route. It says all the parts are Polypropylene.

A lot of people buy these kits in China to convert their base models to sport/amg etc. The fitment is decent, not 100% from all the pictures and reviews I've seen.

Yeah, it takes awhile to collect all the stuff going that route. I'd go talk with the shop you plan to use for the work and get their take on that material. I did just have a Chinese knock off C63 rear diffuser and tips installed and they were very high quality. $400 shipped for the whole set up.

Mike 5215,do you have a link for the diffuser and tips you had installed?
There are a ton of them on ebay with different prices and don’t know which one to trust quality wise.
Thanks.

The bumper was off so it was fairly straightforward. The shop said they had to widen out a tab on the diffuser to get it to snap in, otherwise no issues.
