That white one does have sideskirts though.

Nokia is correct!

In your car, it would be difficult because on your rocker panel, it is not smooth. So the body shop need to sand it down and prep and then paint.
If I were you, I will get model update side skirt. Easier to paint and looks better.

Your car does not have side skirt. You only have rocker panel.
Side skirt is mounted on top of the rocker panel.

You can usually find updated side skirts at recyclers like Potomac Auto...I contacted Pat there about those last year...

Was that car in the picture a C230? Cause it should looks like one, it has the same exhaust and side skirts. My car has the painted side skirts and everything and that is why I am wondering if that is only a C230 thing or not?

[nokia8860]

In the US all 98+ cars came with a model updated bumper and sideskirts.

The car pictures is before 98 and had sideskirts added and painted its lower bumper valance.

[C280 JR]

well that would look good, instead of what everybody says painting the rough sides of the car just get add ons and paint the rest

ah..the post whore of Bnzsport has arrived!

If you are to get side skirts... um..get the front and rear aprons/kits!

[C280 JR]

omg...u guyz are so complicated

edit: areall four add ons of a facelifted model able to fit the 95 model....lets say...do they have the holes and screws in the same place...cause if they do, id rather get all four...

The front and rear lips will not fit...the sideskirts will.

If you want to update your car to the 98+, you will need new front/rear bumpers, as well as new fenderwell guards...MBenz (aka EuroPimp) has some good info on his website about this. Actually, I think he went back to the updated bumpers.

yep you're goin to need all of what he said above, for that price you could get the reiger front and rear. Why don't you just a piece a month, it like only 200each picece. And i could sell you my extra rieger skirts i have for like 100 for the set.
