Anyone have this bumper installed? If so, did you have any fitment issues?

attractive kit. i think it looks best with the rest of it, i.e. skirts and rear, but your best bet for fitament is a custom job tailored specif. for your car or genuine stuff. Replica stuff always dissapoints. GL!

with any replica for our W208, you will definitely have fitment issues with the bumper, especially the areas around the 4 headlights, and each corner of the front fenders.

DO NOT go with replica!!! I learned the hard way w/ my last CLK430!!!!

The Authentic Lorinser DTM bumper will run you around $1500. With all the extra labor you will be paying your body shop, and dont' forget to mention the time...., it is more cost effective to buy AUTHENTIC =)


hope this helps =)
