The only add on lip for your bumper is made by Rieger and it's ugly as sin.

carlsson made one...but they discontinued it.

kleemann also has one (since they're half bumpers that requires you to cut the original.)

but the Rieger front lip is like Blake said..."ugly as sin" lol

at least for the center grille part and the foglights surround they have to cut'em. the Carlsson kit for the w209 and w211 does the same.

On the contrary, ebay is a horrible place if you're looking for authentic AMG bumpers that fit nicely. Most of the cheap stuff on there is either reconditioned and fits horribly or replica pieces that fit as bad or worse.

tripb18c1, just curious, what's a 240SSK? Never heard of a supercharged 240 Sport Sedan before.

Don't think you have. There's a whole bodykit thread at the top of the forum that has links to DIY's and Aftermarket/OEM mods.

Please search through the stickies and all the links available in there.
