Expressions Body Kit

http://www.expression.be/products/pr...-clk-w209.htm#

Hey guys im about ready to order this kit, from all choices it seems like my favorite. Do any of you guys have it? I wanted to know how the fit is, and weather or not its like those crappy duraflex ones. Does it fit with the origional mounts or is custom work necessary.

Just to let you know :
1- The front bumper looks like the Face-lift one (on the clk350)
2-The side skirts are ugly (IMO)
3-The rear bumper....ehhhh not bad
4-The rear spoiler... FUGLYY

I say just go with either AMG or Brabus

go with post or pre facelift AMG bumpers and sideskirts. And throw a BS spoiler and CF lip on the bumper and trunk it will look better than that body kit.

2005 CLK 320 Coupe
Thanks guys. Well my original thought was to get the amg kit. I was gona buy the bumper in the picture first cause they are giving me a great deal on it. My only concern is that its single exhaust, and i wanted to do dual eventually and add a diffuser. From what you see in the pic, can anything be done about it?

Even though it is a single outlet, you can cut out the part of the bumper where the second exhaust will go and throw the diffuser on it. thats what almost everybody on this forum does when they go quad.

If thats the one you're set on then have at 'er. Personally, I think the factory AMG is still the best looking bodykit for the 209.

Unless the rear bumper cover is the same shape/dimensions as the AMG style, the popular VIS diffuser wont work, you'd have to go custom.

I completley agree.
The front bumper is weak and not agressive enough
Side Skirts look like Fast & Furious
Rear Bumper... could be worse, nothing special.
Spoiler is gross.

Totally agree with Ahmad on every point.
If you are able to get the AMG package pre facelift or facelift get it..
I'd rather buy a CLK63 duraflex bumper than this.

You can either buy a CF front lip and install it.. Do quads on the stock rear bumper... This is way cheaper than a body kit
