Rieger add on kit

What does everyone think of the Rieger add on kit? I'm debating whether to go with that or get the Carlsson RS replica kits.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've never seen Rieger in person, but I think it would look good. Carlsson RS kit is definately one of the best. If you want Carlsson RS kit I believe Felix still has one for sale.

I'm just worried about the fitment for the Carlsson one. I've heard many people say that it's not a perfect fit. I see you've got an RS kit. It looks sweeet!.

The fitment is not perfect, but most people can't tell. Other than the fitment, preping the kit is one major issue, it takes time and $$, and some shops won't even do it.

Reiger is kind of wack. They look kind of fugly on CLK
I was once told that they are like the European Erebuni. Replica kits are wack period, just get the real deal.

Yeah, the Carlsson kit is pretty nice, just make sure to get an authentic one. Also check out Brabus (for CLK 320s) and Lorinser

That's good news....still pretty expensive, though. How about the Lorinser Kit or Brabus Front Spoiler?

I was looking at the Rieger kit too but there's just something about it I don't like. It doesn't look bad but it's just not my style. I think the Carlsson looks great but just too much $$ for me right now.

Ri\eiger kits look ugly because they look cheap and tacked-on. They make me puke. Email me because I have an AUTHENTIC Carlsson add-on kit for sale, make me reasonable offer. Pics are in Classifieds section...

Seriously, Reiger is like German Erebuni, and thats not good.
