Opinions - retrofitted facelift bumper to 07 model
Hi fellow C members.
had a little accident with my sport front bumper, so decided to retrofit a facelift sport to the C. I was half hearted if I should of went for the c63 front, but I think this change would be a bit more unique?
Any suggestions and opinions welcome. I hope you like
not the best quality (iphone pix) and the car needs a wash + wax
Hoping to get a proper photoshoot once I have a chance

No problems fitting the bumper at all. The only problem is the gap where the bumper meets the headlights. It is annoying but will have to get something fabricated.
The tail lights are from Cosmo Dynamics (eBay). They are aftermarket. But look very nice and bright even though mine are smoked.
I am in the process of buying a few parts to install the drl's into the fog or direct into the battery.

I opted for these aftermarket lights because I doubt anyone in the UK can help me reprogram the electrics just yet? And I couldn't wait any longer. OEM'S are better, but these are a great alternative for the pre face lifts.

Unfortunately, I do not have any more pix. wife took the car to the breakers.
The car was a complete write off. It was smashed to bits.
I have left the Benz scene for now and got myself a bmw 335i which is so much more fun, in terms of handling and auto gear changes.
I will be back to the Benz scene once I can afford a CLS AMG.
