the front bumper is actually pretty nice and agressive but maybe a little bit too much going on there......rear bumper is ahhh okay but whats up with the different exhaust tips on the two sides....skirts - no...too many sharp lines for the 208s body

it looks ok...but it would probably look better on a black car so that you wouldn't be able to see all the angles. The trunk spoiler is what I don't like the most.

Thanks
Cedric

I think that front bumper is too much. It's too big and too busy. It cheapens the look of the car. The stock side skirts on the 208 look good the way they are so I wouldn't want to change them. Those are too boxy.

Now the rear bumper, that is another story. That I really would consider buying.

Good catch! I hope it's just the angle of the picture.

For me I love the rear boot lip, it reminds me of my oldskool days when I used to have a 190E and always wanted the AMG boot spolier add-on !
PS the car in the photos still needs dropping though with spacers on the rears, but otherwise a big thumbs up !

I think the front bumper is counter-intuitive to the 208 body styling. The CLK is clean,smooth and simple. the front bumper you have there is sharp, edgy and way too busy. It might look good on a Honda but I wouldn't be caught dead with it on my car. Everyone has their own taste so do whatever turns you on.

I agree

Im in the market for a new front bumper so I have been checking them all out. I dont ever keep things stock though so I try to imagine what they will look like when i get done doing some custom work to them. I agree that this bumper is to aggressive and sharp stock but if the vents on the back and the slits under the fogs were filled and the lips on the bottom were rounded a little this bumper would look ok.
