Which body kit i should consider?

My current ride is a MB C320 Sedan. I have a set of Carlsson 1/5 Diamond Edition in 18". I am going to install H&R cup kit soon. However, I want to purcahse a body kit at the same time with the cup kit. Which brand carry the nicest body kit or lip? A lip is nicer or a full bumper is nicer? I am a newbie because this is my first car.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason why you called yrself "carlssoncclass"? If yes, then I guess the answer to your question is pretty obvious already.

Before you choose which bodykit to buy, better tell us your budget first!! There is a big difference in pricing between a Rieger lip and a Brabus lip and an even bigger difference between a lip and a full bumper!!

well, like others said. you already have the rims from Carlsson, just finish it off with the Carlsson kit.

i thought usually people have a mind set on what kind of bodykit they want even before choosing the rims.

If you want mean look you should go for Brabus body kits and Brabus wheels. Carlsson is more of a clean look

I don't have any Carlsson lips right now, but may have some soon. The "RS" bumper is a style that Carlsson makes, similiar in idea to Lorinser's "DTM" bumpers. Here's a pic of the Carlsson RS kit on the C Class:

The RS bumper can be purchased separately now? I remember Carlsson will only sell the RS kit along with the engine upgrade on the CLK before.
