    Rieger or Göckel

    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.
    Got BRABUS?

    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.

    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
