actually, front sides and rear! and new wheels of course

this is much cleaner and towards my own personal taste, and less "show car-ish"

I prefer this look a lot more

I thought the sides were different... no more triangular mesh. It's funny, but I prefer a cleaner look too. Nevertheless, on my CLK project, we're going with a modified Lorinser DTM kit (with the fenders). I think it will look a bit more understated on a black car with the grills anodized black... and most of the time it's just going to look like a big blur anyway.

I love the look! However, I was in love with what it was before, with the Chrome HRE's and the kit! Possibly my favorite CLK ever! Still is pimp with all the goodies. BREMBOS *DROOOOOOL*

I like that front bumper much better than the DTM style.
I did really like the other HRE wheels that you had on, but those are still beautiful.

So does that mean you're going to do the DTM bumper on your CLK Danny?!

Well, lets see... I already cracked my bumper on those parking stops... so, if it cracks any more (hehehe) :v

then i'll have an excuse to swap it... but i only like the front... not too crazy about those mesh vents in the rear

Just buy the whole kit, then install the front bumper and then sell the rest of the kit!

thats a very reasonable idea... but not many people are interested in buying only the side(s) & rear... and Peter is selling the kit at an awesome price...

If that's the case then ebay the sides and rear! That would look so awsome on your ride!

Thanks! but I don't think my CLK looks any better than anyone else's CLK here...

I guess I will just have to photoshop a DTM kit on my car to see how it looks...
