CLK Body Kit Advice for a Newbie...? - Benzworld.org

Hi Guys, I'm sure this has been posted some time ago.. But I was wondering if anyone here has purchased a "Replica Reiger Kit" and also if they had problems installing it. Also, I am open to suggestions on body kits, any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Welcome to the forum. I'm not an expert on bodykits just enough to see what looks nice and whats overkill. But I'm sure the guys on here will be helpful as they often give well informed replies.[8D]

Cool.. Ready and waiting :)

I think the rule of thumb is: The cheaper the body-kit, the more expensive it is to install. The 600 dollar Reiger copy on Ebay will most likely cost you more with installation than to buy the real deal in the first place. It depends on your translation of perfection and the time you can allow for a painful installation, but I'm sure most will agree that there is nothing worse than a ghetto whale tail and cow catcher. What is your reason for a body kit?

Hi Thrill Kill, I would actually like an "Expressions DTM" Kit. What do you think about this kit, buddy?

I didnt really want anything too extreme like the reiger kit.. I'm quite new to the CLK Body Kits, so I very much open to suggestions :)

Wow, I like that one. Nice and clean. Where did the fog lights go though? How much?

Have you seen the Carlsson RS kit? I have it (replica) on my car and I love it! It will cost an arm and a leg to get it properly fitted though.

Hi Thrill Kill, I'm not sure ont he price on that kit but I will be finding out soon. I have sent an email to the one of the dealers and waiting for a reply..

I'm not sure about the Fog Lights, it doesn't look
like they fit, do they? Maybe the bumper doesn't support foggies.. beats me, but i'll find out though

Yeah I agree, it is clean and doesn't look too aggressive.

I have never seen the RS kit, anyone have pics of it?

Thanks guys for your replies [:)]

Just saw your pix BlackBenzz, thats really nice aye!!
Great Job! At the moment my CLK is a stocker, I have ordered the Vert Door kit, and am currently looking at Wheels and Kit.. I'll by the Wheels and kit at the same time. I am also located in NZ so I have to find suppliers who will ship here. No doubt I will keep a photo journal of my mods and see what you guys think :)
Hope I can represent, like you all [:D]
