My advice to you is buy the smoked ones from ebay (they are as cheap as 35$). If you dont like them, you can always paint over them & keep your stock as spare.
I love the look of the smoked ones, plus you will have less chance to get pull over by cops for the painted ones.

you can buy a cheap set on e-bay and paint those.you can buy a can of spray paint to match ur car on the net for $20.i was also going to go that route so i can have the stock reflectors just in case,but i decided to just paint the ones i have.http:www.automotivetouchup.com

He did contribute,you just didn't like it. If we were all truly smart, none of us would have spent this much money on a car that has bad gas mileage and isn't terribly practical. But life is about living so you spend whatever $$$ that makes you happy.
I have the evosport painted reflectors and they were a perfect fit and finish. Remember that u get what u pay for. If I were to do it again, definitely vinyl wrap.... Easy to undo and much easier to paint. And less $$$

I agree with you on this one, some members are too quick to jump on here & call ppl cheap for not spending big money for the real deal. Most of the mods on my car are from ebay/ or replicas @ a great deal, but I'm happy with the look so it's all that matters. More money in my pocket... hehehe! :P

^^ You shouldn't feel this way, to be part of a forum requires us to grow thick skin. Posting your car's pics or express the way you mod it should be about "having fun". Not everyone will like the way you mod (same as the way you dress), but at the end of the day it's all about personality & being different.

FYI there are different variations of the white for the W204 C-class (3 shades, iirc). There's a chance that the ones from EvoSport won't match your white, so I just bought new OEMs (they're $10 each) and have a body shop paint them along with my spoiler. Body shop didn't end up charging me to paint the reflectors as they needed to paint my spoiler anyways. Total cost was $20 vs $150 for the ones from EvoSport, and I have a perfect match in color.
