ground effects on my 82 SL

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can identify the ground effects package on my 82 380SL? The pictures are not great but I think you get the jist of it. The car has a front spoiler, rocker mouldings and a rear valance cover. It's not bad looking at all. I've seen some AMG vintage pieces that look very similar but this does not say AMG anywhere, I can't read the one place that it does have a word (brand name?) Thanks, Andy

82 380 SL ground effects

Sorry, I don't have a good pic of the rear right now. It's shaped like some AMG units I've seen, but they went up on to the Euro bumper, not under it (us spec bumper) like mine. I don't think mine are AMG, just wondering what the heck they are. Thanks for the reply, Andy

AMG rear were mounted under the bumper. Never over it. Here is a link with some info.

Lorinser and Zender kits both replaced the rear bumper and front bumper.

My mistake. The pics I was looking at were Lorinzer parts. My rear spolier looks just like the AMG ones in on the cars on this link you sent me, except it hangs much lower. I don't really like it for that reason. Maybe it can be modified to the AMG spec. I really like the rocker panels. It sets the car off from anything I've seen around this area.

Rowdie, I missed the sentence below the link when I first read your reply. I Googled Zender. Once I got a look at how they make their logo, I compared it to the word on my spoiler and viola! It's a zender. I don't know if that's bad or good, but they seem to be German made anyway. Either way, until I find a 560 spoiler I'm keeping it on there. Thanks for the help, Andy

Hey. I guessed right!
Well, not really. I have an '84 500SL AMG and kind of know what to look for. I also know someone with a Lorinser kit. I did think the Zender replaced the bumper but maybe they did more than one kit.
