Euro impact strips are the two strips on each side of your front bumper, without the orange markers. They come with parktronic sensors or without, depending on your need.

It depends how important it is to you. Clear sidemarkers are around $35, painted sidemarkers are about $100 (unless you do it yourself) and Euro strips are about $150.

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Actually Blake, W203 sedan bumper strip prices vary... USD 150 is the cheapest version (no chrome inserts, no PTS holes).

greetingz,

Thanks for the clarification BigSis. I was just making a general statement and providing relative pricing information so he could make an educated decision.

ardy6931: Contact BigSis/MBenzNL if you need to know more about product information and/or pricing.

I know, Blake... but I just wanted to make that clear. I don't want anyone to be 'surprised' when we offer them another price because they want to get chrome inserts as well, or both chrome inserts AND PTS holes.

No offense...

greetingz,

BigSis

Try ebay, but I don't think regular C class (W203) clears will work in your bumper. Make sure they say compatible with W209 CLK because C55 shares bumper (and related parts) with it.

Or you can buy the Euro AMG bumper, which has no sidemarkers at all.

Dont buy clear side markers from EAUTO from EBAY!
They say it works for all C class including C32 and C55...bull sh*t!
I bought off them..and had to return it..
up till now, I still couldnt find a clear side marker for my C55.....
dont think W209 has it..they only have painted markers
