testing the water bs kit for w209
hi i am from across the pond 
and have been searching for hours endlessly for a bs kit for a w209 clk and have managed to find a small company who produce them but are very pricey at around 30k usd but i am proposing to make reproductions of this kit in either fiberglass or carbon fibre at extra cost and i obviously understand the rear quarters would not be able to be cf due to having to be blended to rear quarters although could be possible i am just writing to see how many people would be interested as i dont want to waste my time i would aim to make the fiberglass kit for a reasonable price hoping to be under 8k usd but have yet to work out cost for carbon but am unsure if i would even bother making a cf version , this would be for kit only and and other modifications for track widening etc would have to be your own doing unfortunatly, although the best bet for the easiest solution would be to have custom wheels made with large offsets,dishes blaaa blaaa blaa you get what i mean
thanks

You might want to introduce yourself since nobody knows you on the forum. The way you proceeded with just 1 post I highly doubt anyone will take you seriously.
Use the search function and you'll find plenty of threads regarding BS kits. Oh & btw I've never heard of a BS kit for going fpr 30k. I spotted a company in Queens selling the BS parts for 10k.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
That was quite the laugh after reading your post.
check out parts.com
I could source all the black series body parts, have it installed and painted for a third of your price and it will be OEM pieces. Nice try.

Mr Bongo I asked this question a while back too, it is a very interesting project but 10k is too much. Unless a company mass produces their own kit and people buy it it's not worth it. Then there's installation. It won't handle like a BS but I guess the look is good 
Regarding the poser comment, the W209 looks like **** without the BS kit so no, it's not posing unless he labels it Black Series. The W209 is one of the most girly cars and looks retardedly narrow, the BS kit turns an ugly POS into a sporty, exotic looking sports car. The CLK is NOTHING without the BS kit. Only girls want to drive around in a CLK320 Cabrio which looks really MEAN it's really going to intimidate all the rabbits and cats in your neighborhood.
This project is AWESOME, but you'll be a guinea pig doing it with no real support which sucks because I really wanted to. Get a CLK500 at least or a 55 or even a 63 to do it to though because the V6s are just a pile of fruitbags.
LOL I really feel sorry for a man who has to drive that.......with his buddies sitting next to him.....

E500slr - many cars are tailored to appeal to ladies and men depending on wheels/color/interior choices....... it's nothing new.
A BS is a sweet ride, but is a bit over the top for some people, and can draw too much attn for a daily driver choice.
Perhaps you could spend a little time in the w209 section to see the beautiful w209's rolling around here.
I do agree that white vert is a bit weak... but with some tasteful mods it too can be a nice ride....... springs, wheels, big brake kit.... etc....
My 04clk55 suits me fine for daily driver status. It flys under the radar for punk theives, and LEO's most of the time...... and I've always had a thing for sleepers..... which my car qualifies....... you would never think I have over 450rwhp in my little single exhaust "ugle POS" as you put it.
Don't hate, appreciate!

You mention the CLK320 Cabrio, last time I checked this is in the AMG section
If my car is nothing and an "ugly pos" then why does it turn heads every day?
