98 E 430 AMG Body Kit

I am about to close this really good deal on a E-Class AMG Kit. However before I do it, I like to find out if it will fit my 98 E-430. And if I need to buy new fog lights. I believe the kit is was for a 99.

If anyone is a AMG dealer or something, please advice.

I ask is because I know that the Lorinser dual exhaust kit doesn't fit on the 97-99.

Anyone know if I need a new fog light? Or has a site that has all the different model of AMG E Class kit?

Also, tell me if I'm wrong. Isn't this Kit the same kit that are on E55s?

The 96-99 AMG body is the same. Changes came in 2000. The front spoiler kit should come with round projector beam foglights. The rear valance is the same for 96-99. The 2000+ rear has exhaust cutout option.

Turbo][, the 2000-2002 AMG will not fit the 96-99 models.

Damn Damn Damn! I want the new front look! The front looks so flat and boring. It's almost like my stock front. With a change of fog lights.

This is to the point where I am going to need help. I have seen the Brabus and Lorinser kits, and now the AMG.

Who else makes a kit that improves the image of a 97-99 E-Class?

Please show me the light to this dull and dark tunnel!

Turbo][, every Mercedes tuner has body kits for 96-99 E's. It depends on your taste and style. Also:

Err.. The 420 W210 was 97, the next year it was the 430. I believe the 96 420 was the older style body.

Guys, No V8 at all for W210 for 1996. Only gas engine available for 1996 is E320. First V8 in W210 was E420 and then the twin plug V8 in 1998. The 1998 E430 had delayed availability and did not hit this country until Feb 1998 whereas most 1998 models hit dealers in Sept 1997.

Question 98 E 430 AMG Body Kit

Will the 2000-2002 rear bumper and side skirt AMG bodykit fits on a 96-99 E class?

Thanks,

The AMG body styling for 2000-2002 W210 E-Class will not fit the 1996-1999 E-Class. Too many changes came with the mid model upgrades for the hood, trunk, fenders & bumpers.

However, I suspect that the side skirts 'may' fit - that is just a guess - there were no changes to the doors or lower door frames.
