Talking I want to update my 300ce to look more modern where can I get parts in the usa

I own a 1992 300 ce in fantastic condition. I am interested in identifying where I can acquire body parts to give it the AMG look. Or a more modern look. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!

1993 300CE Sportline/2000 C230 Kompressor Sport
some ideas...

hey john,

check out my "before and after..." thread on this site. to summarize it, i have a '93 300ce sportline. some things to make the vehicle more modern include: a lower suspension, clear turn signals, tint, modern wheels, and badging. my suspension is already factory lowered as it is sportline. i got clear turn signals on ebay. local shop did the "premium" tint. wheels through discount tire. they are the new s class 17". then, i bought bright red caliper paint and painted my brakes. now, i think this list of mods makes the car look more modern, but my wife thinks i'm going overboard. she has a beautiful stock 2000 c230 kompressor sport. i'll move my before and after thread to the top for you. good luck and enjoy your cars!!

Get euro head lights!

Most people are doing the euro headlights. It will increase the light output and will update the front of your car.
Good luck!
