What Kit is this?

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to MB's, so I'm not too familiar with what tuning company manufactures what kit for your cars.

I'd like to get into a CLK430 or even a CLK55 in the near future. So I'm trying to learn as much as possible in respects to maintenance and upgrades prior to purchasing one.

As I was searching I came across this 430 on ebay that has a unique kit that I've yet to see on a CLK before. I'd email the seller, but the car is being sold by a dealer... so I hardly expect them to know much history about the modifications on the car.

Here are pix of the car.

BTW, the car is actually a 430 rebadged... but I'm sure you all knew that

Sweet... thanks for the quick responses guys!

Would you perhaps be able to suggest some other tuners to further research?

Is far as I'm aware, there is Carlsson, Rieger, and Lorinser. Are there many other???

Brabus, Expression, MH-Dezent, Opera, Fab Design, AMG, Stillen, there's quite a few. I've probably missed a few....

Wow... that's quite a number more than what I would have expected. I'll definitely look further into each company and what they have to offer.

I appreciate the informative posts!

I think they only have a add on lip for the 320... anybody know?

I wanna keep the car going inline with mostly brabus stuff...

Brabus does have an add-on lip made for the AMG kit (430 and 55), unfortunately, I havent seen it.

Damn that's selling for $34850 on their website and it only has 35k miles on it. I wish I would have seen that first. Oh, but that CLK 55 badging gots to go.
