I think the front bumper looks too close to the standard E500, plus the quality of the kit may not be good. Carlsson used fiberglass for their kits the last time i checked. Brabus used OEM quality polyurethane.

Don't worry about fitment, carlsson is not going to make a body kit that will be off, just get the right body shop to do the work. But fiberglass can crack easy, all you need is one little bump on a parking block and you might be replacing that front bumper

Does anyone know what Carlsson wheels will fit the Eclass......I called Tirerack and they show no fitments for Carlsson wheels for the W211.

Obviously, some must fit one way or the other (special offset?), since they are shown in photos.

Would be nice if the 1/5 Diamond Ed. fit, thats a hot wheel.

the kit on that new E is almost identical to the RS kit for the new C-class. i bought one and thought it looked way too ricey in person. the quad exhaust, however, looks so tight in person, it is a must have if you do any type of Carlsson mods to your ride. I have a C with Carlsson 19's, and the quad exhaust and kit will be on it soon, i'll post new pics in the C forum in a few days.

as for the wheel question, really any five bolt pattern MB deisgned wheel should fit with no problem, which includes both types of Carlsson wheel shown in this thread as well as the 1/6 evos i have. i am strongly considering getting the new E next year when the 2004's hit, so let me know how you guys like it.
