I have been searching high and low for a carbon front lip for my lux. I don't want a clip like what Carlsson offers, just something like the carlsson lip for the AMG body kit.
Today, I finally came across these:
Does anyone have experiences with these bits?
I have emailed them for further details (and shipping cost to Aus - always the deal breaker)
I was almost ready to go with Carlsson. My only gripe is that I could just get whole new bumpers for the price of Carlsson clip ons. What is the point??
Anyway, soon as I have the cash ($500 plus shipping!!) I am going to buy these bad boys
Did you find pictures of the kit installed on a car? I have been searching...
Nope, I just looked at the actual part and the rendering they have on the site, you can see there is a huge difference in the aggressiveness of the fins between the 2. Looking forward to your update as usual.
cool! but i'm too late due to the carlsson diffuser.
i also doubt it would fit with my dual exhaust and the exhaust tips
EDIT: i just ordered the front lip
Hows does the diffuser work? Because the bumper does not have a spot that you can replace the diffuser. Do you have to end up cutting the bumped completely?

Hey Doa,
Keep us updated on the front lip. I have been trying to contact them about shipping costs to Australia but they haven't replied yet.
I would really love to see the lip on the bumper - I'd love to know how it differs form their concept drawing and how well it fits

welcome to my world. EVERYTHING is expensive to ship to Oz....
i guess same way as the carlsson diff.
silicone and some mechanical securing points under the bumper
Oh noooo, I don't like the silicone idea. I thought It was part of the bumper. lol! It would have been a big disappointment if I had ordered it after hefty freight charges to find its just a diffuser you have to silicone.
i'll keep you guys updated once i get the front bumper part.
so far i got a mail that shipping costs extra, did the extra payment and now its been silent. i'll give them a few days time

The only other option would be to cut out that portion of your bumper. Seeing as we don't have a removable diffuser panel, it is always going to be either a clip and glue on job or serious modification of the bumper....
nope. Thinking twice now. The parts are worth the au$500 they cost, but with another $400 for shipping....well, I could get an AMG style body kit for that price.
Well my plan back when I was shopping around was to get aforementioned part and then apply a CF lip that was designed for the sport bumper under it. My thinking was that if this OEM part made the Lux bumper look like the sport bumper then it may fit like one also.
hhmm au$700 for those things form MBAu. They are non-existent on ebay and amazon. I guess it is still cheaper to buy the Car Body Dynamics one, even with shipping :P
