Which do you prefer- the Lorinser or the Expression grille and spoiler. I personally am leaning toward the Expression but what do you think? If you guys know of any other grille or spoiler out there that is nicer, please post a picture.

Lorinser



Expression

I may be in the minority but I think the car looks damn good as it is. BUT, if ya GOTTA mod it, I like the expression front, the stock rear bumper and the Lorinser spoiler. The expression spoiler reminds me too much of a mid-90's eclipse.

mbprince

IMHO - the Expressions grille and the Lorinser spoiler!! too cool!!

AMGfan

I think the Lorinser body kit is too damn busy. It reminds me of the time I was building those 1/16 size car models as a kid and I would attach an "extra" Battlestar Galactica part onto the car to make it look "cool."

I guess I like the cleaner look of the AMG and Expression body kits. Just my .02.

mbprince

AMGfan - completely agree with you on you Lorinser 'body kit' (way, way overdone). As a whole, IMO, it takes the car down a few notches in overall appearance. But, I do like their rear spoiler. That (the spoiler), if (big if) I were to make any changes to my E55 (ordered) would be the only thing I would remotely consider adding. mp

I posted my pics in the w211 forum.Heres what my rear looks like......

Expression grill with Lorinser spoiler.

THe lower ground effects kit on the Lorinser is terrible IMO. No 'flow' to it whatsoever, just horrible. My 1/24 scale Tamiya Lorinser 500SEC looks way better then that

I can't believe thats what Lorinser is selling now

No offense, but I think all the Lorinser kits are really unattractive; there's no contest between the two of those.

I also like the Wald kit for the E:

I think expression grill with rear lorinser spoiler will be hot. where can i buy the expression grill? do i need to paint it?

Any and all aftermarket body kits are for non AMG cars. Removing AMG stuff for Lorinser, Expressions, etc should be against the law.

PLEASE SURRENDER YOUR AMG MEMBERSHIP CARD!

Expression all the way! The only Lorinser i like is the pic of that white e-class with it's Lorinser rear.

jimmydagreek

Agreed, that's a good one! I don't have AMG, but if I did, would not replace it. E500 definately a possibility. Lorinser too busy for my liking and I can't stand the vented front fenders. Expressions kit is more sleek with sublte moves, IMO much cleaner looking than the Lorinser...But to each their own as I always say...

Are mighty tasty -- anyone agree?

The link didn't work alz but I went into the Wald site and found the kit. Pretty impressive but IMO once again, for a non-AMG W211...

Dr Chill

Gentlemen, all I want to replace is the standard grille with the CL type. The rear spoiler is obviously an add on that I think makes the car look more aggressive. Now I find myself leaning toward the Lorinser or Wald spoiler but they are very pricey($466 for Lorinser, $528 for Wald). There must be a less expensive alternative that gives the same look.

ZHH

go with.......uummm......AMG

Dr Chill

AMG doesn't make a grille or rear trunk spoiler for the W211. Are you suggesting to leave the car stock Mercedes Benz?

hmrdwn

I can't really see much difference between the grills. Is Lorinser chrome and the Expressions body color. If so, I would go with the expression grill and the Lorinser spoilers...or just the window spoiler, not the trunk one, to keep the lines somewhat clean.

Love the Wald wheels, almost a retro-AMG monoblock. Probably rub even though they look great parked.

No pics. came through just red x's...

JamE55

Great! Didn't know Wald is now offering red "X"'s!

BenzoBoi

I personally would go with the Expression. To be honestly I am seeyin way too many e-classes around the streets first of all and second of all there are way too many lorinser kits on them. Anyways I was considerin the expression spoiler until I just told myself to go wit someting a lil low key...something a lil stealthy...But I must say taht the expression kit is lookin mighty fine....my 2 cents

jimmydagreek

errr...
