Nice work, its a shame mercedes does not offer the AMG kit on the 350's in the U.S.

Really nice.

kefking87

how much did you buy the bumper for and did you have any issues on installing it?

john1c

$200 for the bumper off ebay! no issues at all! just needed to buy all the mesh separately

kingbaabu

stock suspension?

i saw ur bumper ad on craigslist btw

kingbaabu

they did offer the amg/sport bumper back in 2010-2011?

back to OP:
the original bumper didnt look dat bad on the car
i kinda liked the base bumper, cuz it had the chrome to match ur rims

john1c

i hated the base bumper! theres no lips for it..

dav461

There is. Only one , as far as I found. But it can only be bought in Germany

JoaoMerc

Only in Germany? I think that's incorrect, at least in Portugal they are available, so I think in the rest of Europe it is also available. It's from the MercedesSport acessories line.

What about the LEd lighting did you have to replace it? I have seen several of these bumpers on ebay with minor damage and was considering doing the same thing. What will you do about the rear diffuser and exhaust?

john1c

the led lighting fit.. just needed the mesh covers around it and the amg chrome led covers

wittefam1

Thanks for the info the car looks great.

What size wheels? Is it lowered?

john1c

yes the wheel sizes are 20x8.5 and 20x10.. it is lowered on eibach springs.. go with other springs if you want it lower.. i added a 10mm spacer in the rear and 12mm in the front.. will post pictures when everything is done! also waiting on the cf front lip which is being made.. should be done this month..

wittefam1

Thanks for the info can't wait to see the pic's

john1c

10mm spacers in the rear and 12mm in the front.. just waiting on a front cf lip!!!

Car_Guy

Looks good ! Are going to change the back bumper as well ? Wonder if the 350 exhaust tips fits 350 AMG diffuser .

wittefam1

Yes I am considering the Prior design rear bumper and rocker panels. I would like to run quad exhaust tips. Still trying to figure out what to do with the front end. I have ordered the SL front grill in black with a small amount of chrome.
