I got this old school lorinser bumper:

But for some reason, it didnt come with the middle section with the fogs and everything. I guess it does look a little funny from that angle. I used to think so in the beginning. But looking at it everday, it's normal to me now.

dont take it seriously though,
the paint sucks, the grill inside (or the mouth) is not placed correctly, eitherway it just doesn't look right.

get something OEM, or a proper aftermarket bumper.

I've looked at it. There is nothing under there. If I took that part off, there would be a hole in my bumper. My car would look like its smiling.

AGREE. although sometimes we need a better angle when taking pictures..i noticed that on the 202s..sometimes the best looking cars have bad angles too...but i say fix that grill or get AMGs if you end up changing it.

I dunno man that bumper looks really messed up. The middle part seems to be sagging, and out of place. That same middle part also appears to be loose, does it wiggle when you try to move it?

he has a legit lorinser front bumper. i would just try to make the middle section not sag as much and paint it black.

From bekkers for over $1k but IMO retrofitting like rollin did is far superior.

These were an option on C43's. The dealership would charge a lot (not sure how much). Bekkers has one that isn't OEM but does the same and won't blind people. The bekkers kit will run you like $1500 or $1600.

i love the OEM xenons. they look like they are in great shape too for the year.

I was thinking about making it black. Like non-glossy black. It looked good in the photoshop. I was also thinking about putting my spraypainted black headlight inserts into the xenon housings. I'm not sure though cuz the chrome ones in there right now look good too.

Amber corners FTW man! Everyone has clear corners. I'm diggin the ambers.

Heres a vid of me powering up the lights before i tried to re-aim it (which I am totally lost on). Would the instructions in the owners manual be the same for xenons? I just kind of eye balled it.

At my first club 202 meet, someone said the same thing about it being a mini s-class.
