    Pre face lift or face lift front bumper?!

    How do I know if my front bumper is Pre-Face lift or face lift?? I have the 1998 C230 elegance pkg. I was reading up on SD202 thread about that ebay front lip and thinking about getting it if it'll work. Thanks for the help!

    DAMN! I can`t seem to find any other front lips for my car besides the one SD202 used but clearly will have issues fitting on mine. I would like to change up the look slightly. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Isn't that lip supposed to be universal? I thought SD had to modify it to fit his car or maybe the fitment was off.

    I found this website. Is this the lip you were talking about?

    Is a lip for a w202 an easy install? I want a more aggressive front end
