Rieger or Göckel

[MrSpace]

I'm looking into body kits (well, maybe more next spring after our winter) but since there won'T be any new products for our cars until then, I can make my mind right now (that I have time on my hands)

Should I go with the very popular Rieger:

Or the almost US-unknown Göckel:

The Göckel is lower and "slicker" since its a straight lip.Iit's original since no-one here has it. It's not more expensive if you compare with the rieger+splitter

On the other side, the rieger is pretty easy to get, and you can add the very sexy splitter right under that I absolutely love (plus if you scrape you can maybe just change the splitter)

Also, I need to mount my setup so I can remove it in winter (means brackets) because quebec = winter = bad conditions.

What do you think?

i think the rieger looks better, the Gockel one has that wave in the front which kinda kills it.

The rear upper bumper blends of the gockel is the only thing i like from them. but it only looks good on the tighter fitting pre updated bumpers.

I think that Rieger is better. It looks like it would be original M-B part.;)

MrSpace.
Do you have a web site for Gockel?
I have an S-Class and would love to see what they have for them.
My choice for yours would be the Gockel based on the front only pics. Thanks, Kevin

According to http://www.goeckel.de/mercedes.htm there is nothing for the W220

On the JMS site where they have many mercedes body kits (including the Gockel) there is one for the W220 but I don't knwo which brand it is:
