S500 Lorinser
2001 W220 K50 Lorinser

Hi all. I'm about to buy my first big Mercedes, the S500 with Lorinser styling. My question to you all is, did ALL Lorinsers come with a full body kit or could you pick what you wanted to be fitted? The one I'm looking at has the side skirts, exhausts and bumpers but no spoiler or wheel arch flares. Does this sound right? It's definitely the genuine article, I just wondered.

MB’s of all kinds.
Do you have any pictures of this car so we can see for ourselves? This way we can tell if it after market or ordered that way by the original owner. If it a full blown Lorinser car then it will pay attention to detail and have it all.

S500 Lorinser
It has the Lorinser ID labels and embroidered interior plus it is fully loaded with every gadget known to man. The pictures I have currently are taken with his phone so won't show enough detail really. I just wanted a clearer picture of whether you have to have the whole Lorinser body kit or if you can pick or choose? I've seen one car that had a K50 engine cover, should mine have that?

From what I remember the front fenders had vents but depends if the person had it but there wasn't any fender flares unless the person had them custom made.
