  • Broke my lip so I bought a new bumper.

    Hey guys I was out cruising around last week when my Rieger lip met a road reflector....

    Tried to remount the piece back on but after one drive it had broken off again.... It was time for a change.






    Monday morning I woke up early and removed the front bumper then drove to LA to pick up an AMG front








    When I first mounted the bumper I had some small gaps on the side....



    But after some help today we got it fitting pretty damn good





    More pics to come! as well as AMG sideskirts

    Would love some feedback on this, as far as I know I'm the only W203 wagon in the states with an AMG front end as none were brought to the US with this package.

    Also forgot the chrome strips at the body shop gotta go swoop them on Monday

        the bottom mesh does not match the grill. bumper looks good otherwise

            Looks good. Didn't the states get the C32 "T-Modell"? Lookup in Google, they got the same front bumper.

              I think I spotted you yesterday in SD. Im on vacation out here and happened to see a slammed wagon driving by then I recognized you front here. Pretty sure it was over on mission blvd/pacific beach

                Looks so much better dude, the amg bumper is just so clean, especially with the euro rub strip.

                  New bumper is nice, plus it's probably ABS versus fiberglass or whatever that Reiger piece was, so you can bang into more without cracks and tears.

                    From what I can find we only got the C240 and C320 wagons here but no sport models or amg package models

                      AMG bumper looks really good. Have you ever thought about changing the horizontal slats in the grill to black? Not sure how it would look but for some reason the mesh is throwing me off.

                        ^ i was just tellin my man last night he should be considering some GLOSSSY black on the front grill to tie the front end together. has to be gloss though or else it wont pop in the sunlight. the flat black grill was fail IMO

                          Why people claim to be the only person to do something is beyond me...

                          There's 50k people on S/W, and 350 million people in the U.S.

                          I'll put money on it that you're not the only one, but it does look nice and I do love your car!

                            I said from what I can find haha though I am sure there is not more than a handful in the states with the conversion as only a few thousand were sold in north america and 90%+ probably went to soccer moms haha but thanks man!

                              A bit off topic, but what wheel size are you running?
