Need help with a bodykit please
The other night I was parked and after leaving I had a few people join me. The additional weight made my front airdam/bumper scrape and it cracked. I was so pissed I took my toys and went home.
Seriously though now I need to replace it and am looking for something other than the OEM parts on a black 2002 CLK 430. I've tried to search for Brabus, Lorinser bodykits but not too much comes up here. That huge picture thread has a bunch of good shots but I'm not sure what brands they are, I'm still a bit new to MB. I have seen a few but when the cars are black it is hard to see the lines.
I don't really care for the race look, as I saw one front that was really blocky with flares on the corners that I didn't care for. I want to keep cleaner lines. I would guess the DTM would be out of the question. I just don't want to take away from the smoothness too much. While I'm at it I also want to replace the back and the sides as well.
I'm looking for direct links to bodykits with a description of exactly what they are. I'd prefer to see the kits in silver as well because it is easier for me to see the contours of the kit. I'm not interested in replicas.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have researched this some more. The Lorinser DTM kit is on evosport.com being called the "Edition" kit correct? The front bumper is exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone have a picture of the back bumper?
Are these a replacement for the AMG bumpers off of a 2002 430? They are not an add on like the Brabus ones? I've been told the Brabus can only be added to a 320 bumper correct? In order for me to go with Brabus I would have to replace the 430 with 320 bumpers then add the Brabus kit.
The side skirts with the circle on them are not exactly what I'm looking for. I may keep my AMG sides and opt for replacing the front and back bumpers. I know this topic has been discussed before but I'm looking to see if there is any new information.

OK, I'm a little confused now. I thought they were the same as in DTM is Edition. evosport.com has two prices up for bodykits and the Edition is the more expensive. I assumed the Classic version was the cheaper one.
