My Carlsson add-on kit for CLK 320 and CLK430?

[Under Pressure]

You guys know I am selling my Carlsson bodykit. The box nor the receipt say anything about which models it fits, it just says "W208 CLK." Furthermore, I never remeber being asked which type of CLK I drive when I bought it. HOwever, notice the difference in the rear bumper from the CLK 320...

to the rear bumper of the CLK430...

The rears look different, and I was worried it wouldn't fit, so I emailed Carlsson directly and asked...

"I bought a Carlsson "add-on" bodykit for my CLK320
(W208). I am about to buy a CLK430 (W208) and was wondering if it would
fit on that car as well?"

The reply I got said this...

"Dear Leandro,

there`s no difference between the aerokit for the 430 and the
320.
It`s fitable - no problem.

If you´ve got further questions please feel free to contact us.

So to me, it sounds like it fits, and I say it does on my ebay ad. What do you guys think? I mean, the guy at Carlsson even says it fits. Any ideas? Though I know of no one with a CLK430 that I can put the parts up against to see, just looking at pictures online makes it look like it won't fit without modding the rear of the CLK430 bumper, but the guy at Carlsson says it fits. What do you guys think???

It doesn't look like it will fit on the 430 bumper without some major modifications. The 320 has a removable lower section that the add-on replaces.

The red 430 appears to have the "Sport" bumper and not the standard one. I believe the standard bumpers are the same, hence, the reply from Carlsson.

I thought all 430's come with the "sport" bumpers and side skirts like the 55??

I'll just change my ad (again) to say it fits the CLK320, and buyer has to do homework to see if it fits others. I have spent two days researching this, I give up!

Fear not, Leandro!!

BTW - I tried to pitch your kit to someone at the shop (You can ask Renn208) - but that guy wasn't really interested. He doesn't know what he's missing out on. But given his star grille and chrome headlight trim, AJ and I weren't surprised.

Lol thanks bro! If it doesn't sell before I graduate, I guess it will just have to go on the CLK I am getting. Either way, I make out pretty good!
