Carlsson W212 preview...

Found this on a Dutch forum, no other pics though. Most agressive look I've ever seen on a MB car!

That is one ugly, outstandingly busy, hunk of a mess. M-B has really crossed the line with all these lines/creases/gimmicks, with added busyness like a body kit it looks like a heavily modded Japanese car. Too much going on. As usual, I don't think it'll get better looking than an AMG Kit.

Might look better in black...I'd like to see what they did to the rear of the car, though. Not feeling the wheels...

It looks like a fat guy with a tiny head. The greenhouse is disproportionately small for the mess under it.

I think this is the best body kit out of the 3 top German tuners. (Carlsson, Lorinser, & Brabus)
The front bumper almost reminds me of the SL65 Black Series front, but more in line with the lines of the E. The vertical LED's is a perfect twist on the LED craze. Plus, Carlsson is finally making their own fenders.

I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think fenders is what put Lorinser back on the map when they came out with their S Class fenders. Others have tried to copy the idea, but it looks like Carlsson is the first to succeed in bringing out a new fender design aside from Lorinser.

I found more images of an E they did in black

Anywho, those are my 2 cents.

@AMG-Junkie: i agree 100%! Brabus and Lorinser SUCKS! the E Coupe from Brabus is a mess! even the amg style bodykit looks better...

But Carlsson is great! look at this car! stunning!

It's definitely much better than the Brabus kit and it is growing on me but the LED's need to run parallel to the lines of the car.
