AMG C43 Body Kit or Replica Kit??

This is probably already posted somewhere in the forums, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where I can get a "reasonably" priced C43 kit, or replica kit for my C280? (decent quality). Thx!!

Thank you!! Two more questions... will the C43 kit fit on a 96? Second question, anyone know of a less expensive alternative (replica kit). This authenic kit is $3K?? Thx!!!

I should pay more attention to this forum. I sent you an email a few minutes ago. You need the C36 kit. I have a guy that will do it for 550 shipped but I haven't seen the kit up close. I have seen one of his installed in a picture and it looked good but that's all I can say. I also know that it is 7 layer fiberglass. I'll talk to him and make sure he still has them.

Well, here's what sucks. I deleted his email address. I think I have it on my other computer but it's in another city. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Yes, the C43 kit (genuine) will fit on a 1996.

A replica will fit any model because all the mounting needs to be fabricated.

You can also get a replica from erebuni, it's under $1000.

I've seen other Erebuni kits... the quality is at least decent. Some are better than others. This is because Erebuni sources their kits from various manufacturers. Since they stand behind them, I think they are all at least passable.

I've seen other replicas where the quality ranges from really bad to pretty good. So just check it out before you buy.

Note that any kit that is fibreglas, you're not going to have the fit that an OEM kit will have. Even some of the better tuners will occasionally have a urethane kit that is of comparable fit to OEM (Brabus, for instance). Other than that, you're going to be fabricating mountings, gluing, etc. I really don't understand why it is so hard for the kit designers to put the stock attachment points on the kit.

Wassup everyone,

I don't know if anyone is interested but I have a brand new replica C43 kit sitting in my garage. I decided not to put it on and instead invest in other parts of the car. Let me know if you are interested.

This is a complete kit front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper. Primed and ready to paint.

I am in the SF bay area and prefer local buyers. Thanks

600 obo.

No fogs, 7 layer fiberglass. Last he told me it was 550 including shipping to your front door.
