Sorry guys, just came out with the first name that came to my mind - the others are right......
BTW, doesn't Doc's car look like the one I posted earlier.....weren't the suspensions on both tuned by TWS?
Omron, what's the difference you see in those rear lights? They look pre-MY00 to me?????? The rear bumper and skirts look like Post 00+ AMG to me.

true whitey, i thought they where pre 00 lights, but looking harder, the photo suggests there not. Thing is i dont think i have ever seen that colour combination on a 210 (red with white). im probably if not definetely wrong but is looks different somehow. Truly, that is a nice car doc and the brabus looks good on it. My car is blue though & i dont think it would look to good.
cheers

Mine are red on white....do they come in a different color in the UK? I think what you're suggesting is the absence of amber on the indicators maybe? It could be the ambience lighting or angle tho', dunno but some photos of my ride (pre-00) turn out similar to your pic:

That bumper on the MH-Deznt site looks like a lip only, can't be too expensive. Looks good but if you do it, I think you're better off doing the skirts, rear bumper and exhausts as well.
I'll search for another pic of my ride that turned out bright red like your pic.....
Meanwhile here's some bigger pics of what Omron is referring to for the lazy ones - love the wheels on the black one:

spoke to rentech and was advised that they no longer sell the "wide body kit" which that bumper is a part of. I dont rate that 'T' model though, it looks a bit ****. On the other one, there appears to be a strip around the bumper (in the middle), as well as on the lower bumper if you follow. What about those rear lights... They seem to be pure red as opposed to red with a tinge of orange. they look alright. Just caught your pic whitey, with (your rear lights) and there the same as mine, except mine has more amber. Also the white on the MH dezent brakes is pure white as opposed to more 'grey', if you follow. Anyway thats a nice looking rear.

Here it is definitely the light. Wait, I think I just saw those super red lights...let me find it....

the clear lights on white would look top though could be a bit 'rice'. i thought about them for mine but blue and clear would look a bit dodgy. check the rear bumper on this dezent
whats different about it?
theres a huge grey strip running around it which beefs it up.
oh yeah -this- T looks iffy
cheers whitey

Isn't that the same grey strip on the bumpers that aren't color coded? (Like the ones on the closeups I'd posted and Mich's ride) You can always paint yours if you like it (it's removable) but color coded impact strips is an upgraded option in most countries.
The beauty of the first light is its not clear - clear with all the colored bulbs and reflectors showing thru would be ricey but this is kinda fogged out, I think....but somehow, I'm guessing the contrast with the black one would be better, with more to look at (not sure if they'd be legal here tho').....
