Carlsson RS front lip

Anyone here installed the Carlsson RS front lip in your car? If so, can you post some pictures?

Thanks in advance,
hlkc

I have ordered one for my 55. It's different from the stock 500. I was told by Carlsson that the 55 unit just went on sale in Germany and would be in the states by July. I asked my dealer if I could pay extra for shipping and get mine sooner. But, it seems that there is a problem with the way the unit fits and Carlsson is reworking the mold. It least that was the answer I got.

Ken,

I have the AMG kit on my 500. Is it different lip spolier than the 55? I thought it is the same.

Thanks,

I thought the sports package on the 500 was the same. Now I am confused. Carlsson in Germany and their local dealer here both tell me the spoiler is not yet in the states. I would like the phone number of the company you got your's from.

Ken,

No, I do not have one in my 500 now. I want to see how it looks on the car before I get it. I'm sorry I thought you mean it is different version between 55 and even 500 with AMG option. I guess not... Looking forward your pictures later.

Thanks,
hlkc

Hello Ken Rogers,

I asked Carlsson today regarding availability status of CLS aerparts and they confirmed to me that all parts are available now from stock! It should not be a mission impossible for the off. US-importer to get the parts for you in about 2-3 weeks.

Retail Prices in Germany are:

1. front spoiler lip (for non-AMG cars) 500 Euro (ca. 625 US$)
2. front spoiler lip (for cars with AMG-package and CLS55 AMG: 500 Euro
3. rear skirt lip (for non-AMG cars) 500 Euro
4. deck lid spoiler 410 Euro

All prices are without VAT and without fitting & painting.

Best regards
Sauerkraut

Thanks again for the help. My local Carlsson dealer, Autowerks Direct, confirmed today that the spoiler has been ordered and hopefully will be expressed shipped, so I can have it in about 10 days. If it goes in Carlsson's next container I won't get it for more than a month. Now, if I could just get the wood steering wheel I have on order I would be getting somewhere.

On Monday I tried to have the ECU reprogrammed, but my car is not yet in the companies data banks. So, I will have to send the unit to them for programming. It's painful waiting for the aftermarket guys to catch up.
