How easy is it to fit C43 AMG kit to W202?

[NW_Merc]

Ok, I am considering taking the plunge and buying an AMG kit. I know Koolvin has fitted one and KillerHertz will fit one. My car is a '94 and some people on different forums have different opinions as to whether a C36 is better as opposed to the C43 kit. My question is how easy is it to fit the C43 to a pre-facelift car like mine and how much modification in terms of brackets etc am I looking at?

Cheers guys

i think you are better off going for c36 as mine as this is a direct fit. looks smart if you buy the c36 square stainless pipes! there is also bodykits on ebay that look quite good. i think the c36 would be easier to get hold of as opposed to c43

Check my HOWTO's for fitting a facelift bumper(s) which for a C43 is as simple as that...

Front is a case of filing the brackets, Rear requires new brackets

Tricky part is the sideskirts which I have already fitted (not C43 mind)

Cheers matey will check out your HOWTO, when are you fitting your C43 kit then, I know you bought the front and rear bumpers a while ago. Are you still waiting for the side skirts?

Is yours an actual C36? or did you have the kit fitted?

I bought the car as a 1997 w202 c230 kompressor but has amg full specification as new with exhaust system. Looks smart!

Is it best to source the kit from somewhere like Dronsfields? I'm skeptical with getting a kit which has come off an accident damaged car. Any advice?

sorry for late reply but i feel it best to check all breakers and panel companys as they sometimes keep these. ive seen amg panels on ebay before but quite rare. why dont you buy my car???????
