Front fender with vent holes, which body kit?
I have seen several pics of cars on the forum with fenders with vents. Not stick on vents but actually molded into the fender. I only saw one set on the body mod sticky but they are not the ones I am looking for. Anyone have any links or info?

I could be wrong- but the Lorinser fenders are what sticks in my head.

I have the replicas off ebay. The fit was better than I expected but not perfect. The biggest problem with them is that they are made out of fiberglass.

I would contact lorinser directly and try to get the original thing. They will be a lot more expensive, but it will be worth it. Trust me.

go with Lorinser originals. I love my original Lorinser roof wing.

the replicas don't fit quite right. You get what you pay for. Remember, it's a Benz, not a Honda.

I agree to go with all original and not replicas because of the tight fit with originals.

That's a pity - It's such a pretty well integrated design - well it looks that way in the photos - never seen in real life
