Hi Kingo30,

It's hard to tell as the kit is so subtle, and your car is black. But if those are circular fog lamps I can see on the front then it is an AMG kit. Those are definately AMG wheels. In fact your CLK looks just like mine!

Great looking car mate.

I just picked up my CLK 430 a couple of weeks ago which has a factory fitted AMG kit and the last owner told me it cost £5000. Whether that's true or not I couldn't confirm but it looks great all the same.

yeah it does have the kit and very pleased wondered why all the othe clk's I had a look at just didnt compare in either condition or looks

Most AMG body kits cost then upper end of £3750 plus the AMG wheels

I was in the same boat as you when looking for 430's. Just about every 430 I looked at (on autotrader and/or in person) was missing heated seats even when the 1st owner had gone so far as to select sat nav and/or the AMG body kit when ticking the option's boxes.

Personally I think our old CLK's still look fairly modern thanks to the AMG kit and I wouldn't be without it. In fact you're car is even older and it looks even better thanks to the colour.

I think they still look great my wife even said this looks more modern than our 04 saab 9-5 aero for a 10yr old car and it feels nice and tight to drive if you know what I mean like new !!!

What is it about heated seats? I'm the same, I just have to have them in any car I have, it's the first box ticked on the option list

It looks like an AMG bodykit to me too. Nice car by the way.

The tell tale sign of an AMG kit all the way from the W202/W208 through to W203/W209 - and even the R-Class - is the diagonal 'gouge' from the sides of the front and rear bumper, and the twist in the side skirts.

Moving away from that now - for example slats now appear on the side of the front bumper to replace the gouge.

Deffo an AMG kit, its also a good why of hiding that its a pre-faclift model aswell.

Get yourself some OEM blinking mirrors and the look will be complete
