PICS:: Black E-class W212 with Full Carlsson Kit
A friend of mine showed at my doorstep today with a new toy. He borrowed it from the main distibutor of Carlsson parts in Poland.
The car looks really good in person. I think the front is a bit busy with the vertical LEDs but other than that that kit is sick. The vented fenders, sideskirts, trunk spoiler, diffuser, exhaust tips, and the wheels look spectacular. I was never a Carlsson fan but after seeing this car in person, I have to admit it's a nice alternative to the AMG version.

Looks so much better than it does in the official Carlsson pics.
I'm not a total fan though, personally speaking. A couple of things that stuck out to me, were the Luxury-spec chrome strip going across the rear bumper, along with the sides of course, and not on the front bumper (looks funny).
Also, I'm not a fan of the Carlsson side fenders. Not only in look, but look at how terrible the fit is. It doesn't line up tightly to the door like an OEM Mercedes fender will (and should), and the carving and sculpting of the lines isn't up to par with M-B's "handwriting". You see the sharp and concise crease from the door, come into the (gapped) fender, and lose some of that exactness, making for a mismatch of sorts.

I'm a total amateur.
Yeah the diffuser is really great. The car looks very aggressive from the back with the trunk spoiler and oval exhaust tips.

yep, I'd love a diffuser for the look alone......while it's parked in my driveway, LOL......
not like I'd see the thing....and yeah, I know what you mean about photography, still: nice wide angles and clarity.......

I think I will order this kit for my coming W212 but I will also refrain from installing the front fenders.
Does anyone have a pic of another W212 with the Carlsson kit installed, but on a white color car?

yeah... although it's good contrast with the black and in theory it should look great, but it doesn't. :-(

Im liking the Carlsson kit though, its just the wheels throws the car and the bodykit off. The carlsson 1/16 wheels looks outdated on the 212 especially with that kit. I bet you if you put some nice 3pc wheels on that car will compliment everything.

Not a fan of this at all. It looks too aftermarket. The exhaust tips aren't that bad though. But everything else is a little tacky IMO, especially their little branding stickers scattered about.
