“W202 Is Better Looking”: Talented Man Upgrades 1999 Benz to 2013, Changes Bumper, Repaints Car’s Body

• An old Mercedes Benz car upgraded from its 1999 version to 2013 with an exterior body facelift has stirred reactions
• The car was repainted white while its rear still maintained its W202 form with little or nothing touched
• TikTokers who saw the video were divided between a group praising the upgrade and those who said it was not needed

A video showing an upgraded Mercedes Benz in Nigeria got many people wondering how the car specialist did it.

After its upgrade, the car was painted white. The bumper looks very much like a 2013 vehicle.

While the front of the car looks very much convincing, its former 1999 look is only detectable from its back.

Mixed reactions trailed the video on TikTok. Many said it should be illegal to make an upgrade that spans many years. Some believed that the 1999 W202 model was better than the upgrade.

Similarly, a talented Nigerian man shared a video of a 2016 Mercedes Benz that he upgraded to 2021. He (@juniorifeanyi857) said upgrading a car is better than getting a new one.

He asked people not to make the mistake of selling their old cars if an upgrade is available for them.
