I like it. Blends into the overall look of the car nicely. Also like the hood badge, same one i've got on my center caps.
 
Your getting Bi-Xenon installed then? If you don't mind me asking, whats the conversion costing?
 
There's a C32 on PH that's had a lot of cosmetic changes looks look like a C55 including the lights.

I fancy the boot lip spoiler myself.

Thats the first thing i done when i purchased my c32.Does look much better:

Im also getting hid conversions this year.Mine does come with xenons anyway, but the hazy lenses are awful. Saying that, the lenses on the one your showing on pistonheads are too aftermarket.They look cheap imo.

Any idea of the spoiler part number?

I have the OEM AMG spoiler on my car too. Spoilers divide opinion on this forum, but I think the C32 looks better with the OEM lip spoiler.

The wheels look a bit iffy, but the quad tail pipes look nice.

I think those are OEM lights too - it looks like a phase 1.5 car as it has the plaque mounted on the supercharger - and if so then should have Bi-xenons rather than the "frosty" Xenons as fitted to earlier cars.

What makes you say they're aftermarket? They look like the OEM Bi-Xenons that mine left the factory with.

Think I'm right (Maybe someone could confirm) the lens is frosted because xenon lights are to bright. Its why you need the complete bi-xenon conversion if you want clear HID. I briefly looked into it, and if memory serves me correctly it isn't cheap.

I've been thinking about getting an after market lip spoiler. They retail at £100, the MB ones are nearly 4 times more. Not sure if that's worth the extra cost.
 
The OEM headlamps used to be £1000 - I had one replaced.

Shop around the main dealers for the spoiler. If you can find a dealer with one on the shelf - an incorrect order that's been on the shelf for 12 months or more - then you may be able to blag a bargain.

I managed to get two in 744 Brilliant Silver - one for me and one for another forum member at a bargain price from one dealer!!

Here's mine:

I'm just saying (to me) they look cheap.I have seen aftermarket clear lenses much nicer then those ones, whether there real or not.

As for the conversion, im gona buy some tasteful aftermarket lenses and buy my hid conversion kit separately.But then a friend of mine who owns his own audio company is **** hot, and already done this to his friends c32 AMG.
 
I quite like your grill.Have you changed your fog lights too? mine are round.

And you saloon drivers should of bought an estate,you get a free spoiler :D

very nice - great work on the grill!!! works really well with the overall look - don't wanna do mine too :P
 
Tried Bobby,

Same advice you gave me a while ago. No look I'm afraid.

I was actually sat in the MB dealer when I posted above, so I nipped round to parts to see what I could turn up. Nothing I'm afraid.
 
Nice work on the grill. don't think it would look as good on a black c32, but the silver goes well.
 
Not to hi-jack the thread, but what colour c32 do people have apart from silver, as i have never seen an c32 in the colour mine is, not even on international sites.Mines like a dark grey, and yes it was an optional extra from the factory.
