Hi All,

I currently have a carlsson body kit on my car but I need a new front. I called RTW (West Coast Carlsson Distributor) and they weren't able to get one. They checked Miami and Germany. I also called CEC for a Brabus front apron but no luck.

Has anybody tried the BR-S Duraflex brabus replica front apron?

Thanks

clk fan please don't get made at me if I'm wrong I don't know if its duraflex but believe he's running a front lip like that. You might want to pm him

Any word on this?

he's running brabus which looks close

I called CEC and they are able to get the brabus front lip but it's in Germany. I think the rep told me it would cost around $700. The Carlsson distributor RTW was not able to locate a front apron. The BR-S brabus replica front is $300 but I'm not quite sure on how it will fit.

Hey,

Just posted and am in the SAME boat as you. I have a clk430 that was just in an accident and need a front bumper and wanted to upgrade. The one you had on is exactly what I am wanting and cannot find it. Can you post links or info on where I can see these and orders these you are talking about? Also, it seems like many of them call them lips in the info. For example, the one you are looking at is:

Extreme Dimensions Duraflex Fiberglass BR-S Front Lip - 102322

So does that not include the entire front bumper? Basically I need everything from below the grill.

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven,

If you have a clk430 you will need to buy a clk320 front bumper. The aprons (carlsson, brabus, duraflex) only attach to the clk320. If you want to see the brabus front do a search on clkfan, he has the brabus front apron.

If you want the Brabus front apron you can call CEC.

Thanks for the reply! So you put on a CLK 320 front bumper with a Carlsson front apron or lip?

Well my car is a 1998 clk 320 so all I did was add the carlson front apron, carlsson side skirts and carlsson rear apron.

K? Still can't figure out why the 320 bumper looks sportier than the 430 bumper lol...but good deal...that is what I need to do then, put on a 320 bumper and then find me the lip or apron I like.

In stock form the 430amg bumper looks way sportier than the 320 bumper. It just the fact that the way the bottom curves under theres not a good way to put a lip kit on it as with the 320.
