I've finally decided to get a body kit for my 300E (pre-facelift model) but I cant decide between the AMG gen1 kit or gen2 kit????

Also the kit will be accompanied by 17" Aero I's on the car.

Here are some pics:
Gen2 -




Gen1 -

I think the Gen 1 is NLA?

I say for pre-facelift cars, Gen 1 is best, more period looking.

CDP

All I can say is... Good Luck!

Getting the AMG GenI front bumper or complete kit for that matter.

Eliot, it's confirmed.

Eliot

Thanks Chris absolutes are good.


Are you still up for placing an order for me?

BrabusBenz300E

gen 2 for facelift only is my rule

ZedStyle

i concur

edit: actually, doesn't zorro have the gen 2 kit on his pre-facelift? i think maybe since his is all blacked out it looks okay. and by 'okay' i mean of course 'amazing'.

deff gen 2.... looks sick

Where can you get GEN 2 kit or at least front bar??? I would love one

ZorroAMG

Why do you have to be such a Debbie Downer every time someone asks about AMG or FWALD? It's not like you CAN'T ever find those kits again...there are NOS and used kits available everywhere. Your smarta$$ comments about these things gets annoying.



As for the question, either kit is good but if you are doing mono I's I'd do the gen 1 kit.

I have the gen 2 front and ducktail but the more I look at the pics I kinda prefer gen 1!

Good luck!

DAMN, Both kits are HOT!

I would do Gen II, just for the clean lines, love it!

Nothing screams AMG then the Gen I kit. Hard to find though. Thats just my opinion.

Be kind Don Diego,

It's a syndrome called "Body Kit Envy".....sometimes common in pre-pubescent males who envy not only what others have, but what they desire.

The cure can be only had with time when the afflicted soul discovers that the world does not revolve around him !!!


If you can't find the real thing, then find a quality repro....
In the case of body kits they were after all "after market" parts !!!
Use of Repros are quite common in restoration / modification of older vehicles and it doesn't lessen the value.
Only to look at what "Repro" Muscle Cars have been fetching at Barrett Jackson !!!

I like Gen I with pre face lift...maintains the "boxy" look

Yaeh, if I ever could afford/find a kit of the two, I would go GenI with the pre-facelift. It has a very aggressive look to it, and it suits the car well.

Buy Parshman's car...

Parshman

Good point Garfunkle! less work and everything is done, including a better engine!

Garfunkle_W124

If I sell it for you I get 5.67% commission

CDP

Find me some NOS or used kits and then talk to me. Actually, Just find me NOS kits.

You're pathetic.

yes, I have "body kit envy." Especially when I have a complete GenII kit sitting in my back yard.

Also, As for your statement in another thread. I did source the AMG CE ducktail but why would I hook you up when I don't know you and could careless for? I was definitely being "shady" there.

RBYCC

You're a young man who tends to be critical of anything that anybody says....
If you achieved anything in your life you wouldn't have such a poor attitude

Nice place to keep it, don't you have a garage ???

First the word was "shaky", not "shady"...and if you recall you offered it and I accepted...but does it really matter ?

Parshman

Hey how about this. I have a complete Gen I kit available! So much for not being able to find one huh? The only thing is that its attached to the car from the factory!

delija

Anyone willing to sell their Gen 2 front bar and willing to post to AU? (How much Get 2 front bar worth anyway?)

Eliot

Think its 1400 USD? Don't remember off the top of my head.

ZedStyle

this guy quoted me a price of ~$4300 for a gen 2 kit shipped. not sure if they still have them or whatever, but the link still works... you have to log on to see the pics. he apparently had the gen 1 and gen 2 kits, but again, you would have to contact him about availability/price/authenicity/etc.

Ok I guess the consensus is GenI + I’m a traditionalist, old-for-old/new-for-new. GenI it is!!

ZorroAMG

WTF, do I look like your servant? I have nothing to prove to you, they ARE out there. Do you think you know of every kit in existence? There were 2 at dealers in Canada after you said there were only two left in germany a while back....kinda disproves your point, no?
