Polyurethane Ebay Front lip review. only $99? to good to be true.

[SD202]

so some of you who know me may already know but. This rieger lip didnt last long. not to mention the entire passenger side was missing after having hit a possum on the freeway. so i picked up a Polyurethane ebay lip

I was very very skeptical of the fitment and quality due to the very low price of $99 bucks. and the lack of pictures of the actual product installed on vehicles. But surprisingly the cheap C36 Knock off front lip actually looks pretty good and fitment was actually really great for the pre-facelift W202s as the lip contours the rounded down part for attachment. Sorry for the poor Cell shots. and dirty ride. I need to get her washed up and get some real shots but the fitment is fine for anyone on the fence about this lip. Although I would recommend it only to those with pre face lift as the facelift bumper is slightly different. The rieger lip I had was from a 98-00 W202 and it seems like they were made with extra space at the corner to accommodate the facelift 202's Oem lip.

u already know what i said, its mad clean, and especially bc you want to go lower than normal people, this suits you a little better

Yeah, I see you rollin' every once & awhile (usually because I hear you from a 1/2 block away) & it boggles my mind how you handle the dip @ Camino Ruiz on a green with heavy traffic on your tail?!

[SD202]

Haha yeah I actually put an exhaust back on it.I like my music more than the raw sound of the m104. As for the dip @Camino Ruiz . I avoid it like the black plague haha! Or hitlike the far lefton lane. The one coming off Kearny villa onto miramar is way worse. That is where I get the most honks.

The lip looks nice, especially for $99

Not too bad there. You win this time, Ebay

$24 for some mercedes 149 white. shot it myself. And im not sure how the fitment on the facelift bumpers are. If you own a 98 it may or may not work out for you. but honestly for $99 you cant loose to much even if it doesnt fit.

the top picture is the rieger lip in multiple pieces and missing the right side lol. I left it in my recycle bin so its been made into plastic bags or bottles by now im sure LOL
should you get a rieger lip or this lip ? Ide say rieger if you're not slammed. Or if you plan to be on air. otherwise im sticking with the Ebay lip till then ;)

just in the middle of moving and making money for it... and since 2013 is just around the corner, you'll never know what happens... so we'll see... :D

[chimchongdlight]

sounds like tax season

i cant talk i got h and r springs and bilsteins still in the garage awaiting installation...haha...just waiting to obtain some camber arms

[Vetruck]

...

[SD202]

You'll need the upper camber arms, AND upper forward cmaber/toe arms. The third "toe only' link has factory cam bolts and is slightly adjustable

I only run the upper middle adjustable camber arm. those alone do wonders for the negative camber when lowered. Would like to have a forward camber/toe arm as well.

Im sure eBay vendors are willing to work if someone can gather a Group By! I know I did it with the VW MkV lips. $100 on eBay, $70 SHipped with group buy! i tried asking my vendor but he doesnt carry this lip for our 202s

That looks great!

[wichipong]

looking great D!

[chimchongdlight]

looks awesome...i think it looks better than the reiger on ur car bc its so low...super fresh

[MikeD]

I like it better than the facelift front bumper.

[SD202]

That looks great!
thanks man !


looking great D!
thanks mike, you should pick one up man it fit damn near perfect. seriously.


looks awesome...i think it looks better than the reiger on ur car bc its so low...super fresh
I for sure like it more than the Rieger with how low it is, I can get in and out of driveways now ! still have to angle but thats a given.


I like it better than the facelift front bumper.

Yeah , I like it more than the last lip and it doesnt have a split in the middle but I do want to eventually get bumpers. I need the facelift rear at very least.

[hvmercy]

Overall I like the way the stance is. You're right the rear needs something, not sure if facelift rear will blend well but you can play with it. I too, need the same thing but haven't fully decided whether
I should go with the C36 rear. I have a rear bumper cover C36 replica sitting in my backyard (fiberglass).

[MikeD]

If only parts from the facelift rear were compatible with the prefacelift rear without modification... I have just the rear lip from a facelift that I don't need.

What sideskirts are those? Is that the factory black lower body just painted? That front lip looks great, The back I posted previously from the same EBAY company would be a perfect match. Im ordering both of them

these are OEM facelift side skirts from a 98 C230k they are actually 143 arctic white and not my color which is 149 polar white lol. and yes the rear is just a pre-facelift bumper but painted to match on the bottom. Post up once you get the rear bumper skin and how its fitment is once you get it. Im undecided on that or just a face lift bumper. Not sure. both are fairly cheap.

[SD202]

I do not know the cars well enough yet to even know there was different bumpers,etc. I knew the bottoms were different but did not realize this "facelift and non-facelift" between options or years. I have a 94 so I assume obviously its a standard non-facelift car since it does look plain.

Where would I buy those Facelift skirts (I know you said they are 1998 c230)? Is from the dealer the only place or used? or is there an OEM afterrmarket company selling them or knockoffs in decent fitment?

ALso, is 1994 polar white?

there are many aftermarket options but most of them are amg replica pieces. The facelift W202 started in 97 with the 98 year model's introduction in the US. The only way you're going to get OEM facelift side skirts is through the dealer, through a friend, or a junkyard find ,there are many junkyards and dismantling companies selling on ebay also. Just keep your eye out for them if you're dead set on the facelift side skirts. Their are other options though. And if you're color code is 149 then yes that is polar white.

I really like the shape of the facelift rear end so thats what im really after. Idk why but I dont like the look of this one. It cuts in to much towards the sides. the C36 rear does have those indents but still I do not like the way they look. I only went with the lip as a cheap alternative for the time being.

[chimchongdlight]

Gotcha. Yea im not sure if i like this rear either, which is why i wanted to see it on ur car first. Haha

I would totally get the facelift rear if the lip went all the wat around. But it cuts off in the middle which sucks. So i think im gonna go with the c36 rear with c36 sides and my reiger front. Hopefully it looks good bc i havent seen anyone with that setup

its only $99 bucks if you want to see what one looks like buy it and put it on your car. should look great though as the c36 rear and sides will flow together nicely. they hang a tad lower than all other options should accent the rieger nicely as it also hangs lower than any other lip or bumper offered for W202. If the rieger rear wasnt so gawdy and ugly i would have picked up one of those.
