Does anyone know where to find a CLK 63AMG black edition body kit?

No, but im sure you can find a body kit company to build a replica kit if you have enough people to consider it...there is another forum regarding the dtm kit...i myself would rather have the black serie sbody kit over the DTM any day...i think the site is www.superreplicas.com
not sure tho

There's a compnay that are doing the CLK BS conversion on a Clk 63 with factory Mercedes parts. You need to have alot of $$$$ if you want to go this route. Do a search and you will find pics of the car going through stages of conversion.

I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure that the BS body kit is a direct bolt-on to the w209. Mechanicals may be a different story though.

Direct bolt-on? How you do direct bolt-on the rear fender since all cars rear fender are welded on. Here's..........check out the conversion project.

the only thing that isn't a "bolt on" is the quarter panels, inner wheel wells, roof, and glass. You will be 12-13k in the hole in body parts and thats with really good pricing. Not to mention you need totally different rear suspension and front suspension plus all 4 coilovers. Each coilover retails for $1100. Trust me the quality that mercedes puts with the black series parts will be above and beyond some shop that make fiber glass replica parts. The quarter panels come in a really big box that is structured to support like 5k pounds so the panel doesn't get dinged up. If you are even thinking about doing some kind of swap take this route although it is quote expensive.

Okay, the quarter panels are NOT bolt-ons, but the fenders, front bumper, and side skirts are. I guess the rear bumper is too, but it would look really funny without the quarter panels.

As TTAMG said, it WILL be expensive. Front bumper cover $5500, side skirts $2000, and I didn't even ask about the fenders.

I could look into having some high quality polyurethane parts made, if anyone is interested.

agree with Discgolfer74.

i've already looked into this conversion for my W208 earlier this past year. $11K wholesale for the front/rear bumper , sideskirts, and 4 fenders. Every stupid dealership that I called confirmed that both front and rear fenders were metal...... That is total crap. We are servicing a B.S. right now, and the front fenders feel as if they are either plastic or Eurathane. The rears are definitely metal.

So, anyways, I just decided to have my body shop fabricate a custom sheetmetal widebody for my 208.
