ACG San Diego // Prior Design Aero Kit for w211

Just wanted to introduce this brand that has a body kit for E-Class w211. Prior Design is a German company. The parts are made in Germany and they are TUV certified.

The fitment is great, the price is fair and the availability is 3-5 weeks from placing the order.

Mercedes E-Class W211 front bumper - $1,099
Mercedes E-Class W211 rear bumper - $1,099
Mercedes E-Class W211 side skirts - $699

Let me know what you think.


More Info

Does the front bumper utilize the stock fog lights and does it come with the mesh screen?

Your worst nightmare...
Would the front bumper accommodate a Vorsteiner lip?

How would it look with just the front bumper and the stock sides and rear? It is an option versus the e63 front end.

x2. I like the front, not feeling the rest of the kit as much.

I am not sure how I feel about this. I am on the fence. Could be the wheels throwing me off. I do like the front the the sides and the rear no so much. I think it is the sides of the rear that look funny to me. It is a pricey kit for sure.

hmm, i guess to each his own, personally don't think it belongs to Mercedes, more like dubber style, if I would want to change front bumper, e63 conversion would look better.

I'm the same way. Not sure how I feel about the front but I think I like it. It would have to flow with the rest of the car.

I'm guessing a majority of people who get this will have a bigger heat exchanger i.e. have mods. I wonder if this will support a bigger HE. I know with mine pushes the front lip down now. I may the one I have is a tad to big but it works.

Long story short, if you are able to check for this on the test car you have it would be nice to know. If i ever have/want to replace the front bumper I would definitely keep this one in mind especially if it's a straight bolt on.

They have a silver wagon here. I reckon it's the same kit.

Here is some more info.

The bumper utilizes stock foglights and comes with the black plastic mesh grills for the front openings.

The bumper is more aggressive and lower then the E63 bumper. Similar in style. It works on the 55 and on facelifted models like the 63.

Our customer who has one of these bumpers on the way has an upgraded heat exchanger. Once we install the bumper on the car I will have a definitive answer for you.

Neither Prior Design nor I can answer this. The only way is if he tried it. I would not do any lower in the front though for the bumper is already slightly lower then OEM.

Thanks Peter. I guess it's almost a question for you guys to know as I'm not looking to do this anytime soon. I'm just sure it would come up and sure enough it is on the first one

As far as a lip goes it almost has it's own lip which i like. Check out this pic.

Exactly. If I ever had a desire to add any type of lip, the most I would ever do is add a thin CF splitter. That's if I really had to have it. I think it looks good on it own.

I think that I'm going to pick one of these up after my vegas trip next week. Do they come pre-painted, or is this a service that you offer? I can discuss in PM if you wish, but I would also like to see if it would be possible to have the small vents on the sides wrapped in carbon fiber (just the inner most part), and the rest painted to match the car.

W/r/t the 63 guys, it seems to me the only way this bumper would work is if you swapped your 63 grill for a 55 grill. For this reason alone, I wouldn't do it. The biggest downside of this bumper to me is how even more puny the stock 55 grill looks with it. I may have jumped on this if it incorporated the 63 grill.

I like the front bumper on the wagon and the rear bumper on the sedan. Looks good!

I have addressed this with Prior Design and they are telling me that it is the same bumper for both cars. The bumper is set up for a e55 grill; however, the bumper will accept an e63 grill it given you have all the right parts to do the conversion.
