CLK320 / E500
That would be an AMG replica body kit. Personally I would try to find stock pieces from a member who has upgraded, but an OEM AMG body kit will run around $1,500, then you have to ship it and paint it. Either way, good luck.

but is there a difference,other than the title. can sum1 looking at the car say "hey thats a replica", does it make the installation harder or something if its a replica. I did a search on lorinser body kit, it looks real good, but i cam across a CLK website that has a SLR style bonnet, just wondering has anyone done this to their car? It looks kinda weird

The difference between the replica and the OEM will be installation. The OEM will be a straight bolt on where as the replica may take some bodywork, if it doesn't you're lucky.

Smart choice on not going with that kit, I bought one of those for my car and it took over 60 hours of labor to have both bumpers fit properly, even though the outcome was great, the time and money it took wasn't. I believe someone else on here had the same problem with that front bumper too.

would a stock clk55 rear bumper and sideskirts fit on my 99 320? Also, would my 320 impact strips fit on a 55 rear bumper?
I can't see how sideskirts would be mounted on a 99 320.
