Ouch. 610 sucks! I hit a piece of flexi glass last year and my front looks like it was shot by a shotgun. wait till the Misha front comes out.

whats the difference between the Revoz and stock? doesn't seem like that much difference just wondering

olszowa12

The Revozport has an integrated front lip (optionally in carbon fibre).
It has larger air inlets and has no foglights.

danlnyc

oooh I had no idea thanks for answering my question

Paculdo

here's the damage

Paculdo

with dense fogs during the early mornings here recently, i'm wondering if i stay OEM to keep the fogs vs the DRL's of the revozport (again, incase i do go that route).

Paculdo

thanks matt.. the seller is in canada (so might have to deal with customs, other fees, etc).. plus this have the park/assist sensors.. wish he was local (or within the US at least)

might also contact revozport on monday to see what they have (do they paint this as per may color choice when ordered, etc)...

olszowa12

I missed the part that he is in Canada.

To be honest, I wouldn't get a new bumper right away.
What lip do You have in your garage?
If You have a Carlsson style lip or Revozport snow plow lip they will probably cover the whole damage.
You will need to screw and glue the lip to the bumper anyway.
Try that first before ordering the ne bumper

Paculdo

i have the same front lip as you have matt..

by the way.. would a 2013 bumper fit the 2009? anybody have tried this? what or how much 're-work' to make it fit?

LuisC55AMG

Ouch! Luckily nothing else was damaged...

What about the DTM front bumper? That one is really cool... I'll choose the one without the LEDs though.

Paculdo

^^ do you have pics? where to order? i'm not going the revozport route because they are overseas (hongkong) and i don't want to deal with the wait and if i'm not satisfied with the quality/fit or if the item is damaged when delivered - i don't want to deal with the headaches for damage claim/return/refund, etc

Paculdo

also, was thinking about retro fitting a 2012 to my car - i talked to the MBUSA certified body shop (where the dealership directed me to have the repair/replace done) but they (shop) immediately suggested NOT to do the retrofit because it will VOID the warranty.. geez!

I found this thread of a F1 DTM bumper that was on sale.

here are pictures of when DadsC63 tried to add the facelift bumper to his car. there's a pretty noticeable gap that you can't necessarily see from straight on.







There are a few used OEM pre-facelift bumpers on ebay for a couple hundred bucks which might be your best bet. Revozport is still charging $1500+ depending on how many options you get with it and then you have to get it painted as well. Adds up pretty quickly.

Paculdo

^^ thanks.. Dads car had the OEM BS front bumper.. pretty bad ***.. but too much mods to fit that.. i wish i could do that though :-)

might end up with the OEM and let the insurance take the tab.. but trying to see if I can get another shop(s) in town that can retro-fit the 2012 bumper.. the MB certified shop don't want to touch it.. advised for an OEM 09 bumper

Paculdo

this was Dad's previous bumper.. this was actually the revozport that i was thinking about.. again, this is available to order but overseas, wait time is too long, etc.. don't want to deal with it if something happens

thanks
