Your goto mods and upgrades?
Discussion
With so many AMG upgrades, face-lift, modifications etc. Who are your goto brands? Or do you endlessly search the Internet website by website untill you find something you like? Namely, this post is towards body face-lifts.
For example, i was looking for a front bumper for a 2013 c180 merc yesterday and there is masses of them, also ita very difficult to invasion what each would look like when on the car, I cant seem to find a site that shows their products on the car, but just a blank product with a white background.

You should have a chat with this Russian chappie called Vlad. I hear that he finds it a lot easier to invasion than you seem to find it.Not that it's worked out too well for him ... or large chunks of the rest of the world ...
IMHO the only accurate way to judge bodywork modifications is seeing them yourself in the flesh, only then can you be sure enough you like it to invest the significant money into getting the parts, fitting and painting.
I've seen bodykitted cars at shows like TAS, obviously, and also when I take my RX-7 to Rotortorque for servicing etc there are sometimes other owners cars in, I saw the (in)famous Veilside Fortune kit on a car there for instance, and other widebodies. I've felt very differently about bodykits after seeing them in the flesh than I did on paper/a screen.
For a small, cheapish part like sidesteps I might be persuaded to give it a go based on a good set of photos of them fitted to a car, eg on Speedhunters or something.
However personally I've never felt it worthwhile to spend money on visual mods beyond wheels. My personal 'go to' mods, probably a set of new Michelins is the thing I'd look to put on almost any car, then some CL5+ brake pads if poss for feel/response on the road and resilience on track. Turbo cars generally benefit from a remap, not for big power but can give a nice midrange boost, better response and fuel economy. Beyond that, different cars have different weak spots and opportunities for cost-effective improvement without downsides.
