I don't know...

about the rest of you, but I think "elongating" the front end of our cars does not make them more appealing. I do like the c55 back end better however.

I agree Lap,

The front is shaped OK but once you know "the extra beak" is there, it is really hard to overlook it. Quarter view is OK, but the full side view angle....

it seems like the wheels on the slk are bigger than the ones on the C55. Are they 19ers on the slk and 18ers on the C?

I guess i'm in the minority here. I absolutely love the way the C55 looks all the way around.Front, back, side-to-side.... Definately a winner in my book!

Actually i just looked at it one more time... the front COULD use some shortening.

looks awesome. are there any pictures of the front seats? anybody know if we can get a hold of those? i might consider after the C32 seat wears out, especially since the C55 seats are a lot nicer than the current C32 ones, having alanctra shoulders.


also, i heard that the Sl55 performance package bumpers, very similar in look to the C55 AMG Medical F1 car, was very expensive. i would imagine this bumper is expensive as well. of course, that's just purely a thought, i've never seen pricing on these C55 F1 bumpers yet, but i agree it does look great.

yeah... the AMG seats look so attractive to me too...

isn't the C55 grill smaller than C32?
that's mean the C55 bumper won't able to fit on C32...
and european spec often have problem fit on to US spec cars...
last time my friend brought a ABT front spoiler, and it end up won't fit.

the C55 F1 Medical Car used to be the C32 F1 Medical Car in past seasons so that one would fit. Is there an F1 Bumper that I can get a hold of?

I am sure you can order all parts at AMG. All you need is $$$.

By the way awsome pics

Nothing
Next to SLK the C55's front end look positively akward. In some ways ways it even look like a Sangyong Musso's front end. Rest of the car is very nice though.

Referring to this one? You mean the C55 is as "awkward" as this POS Korean Krap? This is probably one of the worst designed SUV; it could only be topped by Pontiac Aztek. (Man, those things gave me cold chills.)

Bad news guys: apparently nothing is swappable.

Look at the seam-line at the side of the grille, it is flat on the C55, and it is 's' shaped on the C32.

Therefore: bumper, hood, lights and grille are ALL different than C32 and incompatible. Thousands of $$. You will need to wait for aftermarket.

The old C32 F1 Med car had the C32 kit, not the C55 kit.

that's what i think too... the grille is smaller and the headlights are a bit different...
therefore, that's mean whole set of front are different...

well, hopefully amg will make a evo package for our C class.
