W215 Black Series Inspired Bodykit
Thoughts on this new widebody CL kit?
Takes styling cues from both the CLK and C Black Series
3,200 Euros + shipping, paint, installation
(Doesn't include hood or exhaust)
Made from FRP
I do like the re-styled front bumper (except for the side vents)
And the rear fender arches and vented sides of the rear bumper.
Not a fan of the front fenders, side skirts and rear diffuser area.
Trying to figure out if I can get the front bumper to work and customize the bumper vents (like I currently have custom done on my CL - the way it should look AMG factory)
But also keep my carbon fiber front lip?
And if I can get the wide arches to work without their side skirts and rear bumper. I like the rear bumper, but I much prefer the look of my 3 fin Euroteck carbon fiber diffuser.
The way my CL already looks with some of the elements from this kit would be even more aggressive than it already is.

Precisely. Overall, I'm not crazy about it, but there are elements/concepts that I really do like about it. I have to give them credit, there is nothing on the market anywhere like this for the W215. If only it was a little "tighter"

Thank you for your efforts, being an Oldsmobile enthusiast as well form some reason I am attracted to cars that do not have strong aftermarket support...
Any chance we can just get some simple fender flares so we can fit a respectable size tire on the car. Personally I am not into the Mad Max / Fast and Furious bolt on look and would like something much more understated. There are aspects of the front that I like but the side vents and the fit of the rocker panel just don't do it for me. The same applies to the rear, there is too much going on, I feel that less is more.

Always with the insults, huh..
TBH honest after seeing your CLS, you lack creativity. You follow trends and I think your car has nothing to validate your attitude. Your opinions don't mean much when it comes to style.
And if you would actually READ instead of seeing my username and trying to be a funny wise guy, you would see where my interest in this kit is.
Yes, my parents are purchasing it. Is that what you wanted to hear? Does that make you happy?

But I guess at least I don't pass it off as my car, when it's actually my parents car

They just do that and I post about it....right
Doesn't sound at all like what an eccentric young guy in his early 20s would do.

Yeah, my two busy nearly/in their 40's parents, have nothing better to do than James Bondify, carbon fiber everything out, add every possible engine upgrade money can buy, look to make it have a widebody and add an SLR shifter to a CL.

See, it sounds cool what you're talking about doing with your car, and I know how it goes.. I've modded everything I've ever owned, from cars to bikes.. Ducatis to bimmers and benz's ..But I LOVE to post pictures and videos. Who doesn't? Especially those who do cool, creative mods (like what you claim to do). SO here's the deal. Post pics or actually, just make a video. Let's see all the stuff you're talking about. I'd give you props if you did, but need to see the proof. No BS. Make everyone doubting you just eat their words.
Or don't. Then everyone will keep on treating you how they do. Like a poser. You sure do talk the talk.. Should be easy for you to back it up in 5 minutes with a simple upload to youtube.
