I imagine OEM items are difficult (impossible?) to find and will cost $$. After market items possible, but in view of age of the C43 are they still sold? Difficult to say. Check for fitments and quality before buying...

Ivan has a reiger front bumper installed on his C43 and the fitment looks ok. I have seen it in person.
Here is a couple if videos of Ivan's C43, not the best videos to see the fitment but you can see it fits well.

In my opinion the quality of the Rieger W202 front bumper is rather bad. The mounting is poor and the material is thin.
After some years I combined the old Rieger W202 with the W203 Rieger model into a self made bumper with solid mounting and strong material (Aramid).

popeye, that is sweet! You need to post a "how-to" for this mod! I've wanted this exact look for my front end. Did you 'graft' a OEM W203 bumper w/the Reiger lip?

Yes thanks, I saw those photos but only 3 of them for a build story is a bit thin don't you think? I thought there could have been many others...

Strange... the link guides to a wrong folder.
Try again this one:

Once again linked wrong... maybe it comes from auto shortening the link. Another try...

Or just click the folder manualy. You will find on the left 'C43-Front_Making-of'. It contains 29 pics.
