youd have to buy a new bumper as you have the AMG bodykit and this is an addon for the stock mercedes bumper standard on the 320. as for addons though, personally i like the brabus one better. cant go wrong with the DTM though

Actually there is an add-on lip (for the 320) and a full bumper (for the 430).

Your car looks great Daveskee. Did you have any problems with the navigation. I have a 99 also and am worried about the compatibility.

Thanks Eleni! Nope, everthing has worked out very well. Before I had Steve install the steering wheel/cluster combo, my COMAND would not light up when I turned on the lights. I had to hit the illumination switch on the COMAND due to no Canbus signal being present at the radio. Now it works fine since the cluster solved the canbus problem. I highly recommend the upgrade too! By the way your car has turned out great!

Thanks, that will probably be my next mod. Good Luck with the front bumper.

Im confused, of the original pictures posted, arn't the Top and Bottom of the 3 just Front lip Spoilers, whereas the middle is a whole new bumper, and therefore only for 430's?? Whatever, foot may soon be entering mouth after i post, but i think the Lorinser looks great, and definitely for the money of a Lorinser, you are getting more dramatic styling than say Brabus or Carlsson. So, to recap, i'd say Lorinser over DTM. :-)

You're right about pic#1. Add on lip. Pic#2 and 3 are of the Lorinser CLK430 full bumper replacement. The DTM bumper I'm considering is the Lorinser DTM, just like the one mmgrad just installed. So both are Lorinser.
