Rejuvenating my 89 300CE, Body Kit suggestions?

Hey all,

My uncle is completely redoing his Mercedes 1989 300CE. Right now its currently at the mechanic getting everything worked on so that its back to tip top shape. He asked me to help him in terms of the aero department. Can anyone link me to a nice clean, subtle kit for his car? As well as the smoked/clear tailights?

I was thinking something along the lines of this (for tailights and kit) (Credits to Mr. Olsson)




But any kit will do, just not something too flashy or gaudy.

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to show you all the pics once it is finished.

I find the LED tails are a little too bling/flashy (excuse the pun) and too modern for our cars. I prefer the simple dark smoked upper, red lower tails. As for a kit, the AMG Gen II kit is great looking and there are high quality replicas out there....extreme dimensions I think is one of them. Ed used them I believe.

Do you have a link to the particular taillights you are talking about? I do agree that the LED taillights are a bit too modern for these cars.

Is this the kit you are talking about?

It seems those are the only kits for sale on ebay right now.

Thanks for the website! I think the Extreme Dimensions kit could be good once I get it. Also, I was checking out your website and this kit seemed pretty cool.




I was also thinking about getting this grill too.

Unless someone has a better suggestion?

Oh shucks mate - now you have made me blush.
Yes that is my car you have selected. Unfortunately the Zender bodykit is in very short supply since they closed their doors around 2008 !
Makes me wonder if I shold take mine off and have some moulds made so it can live on for the Coupe owners of the world !
