Santa brought me a new front for my car...took a few shots this Christmas morning.More pictures the following days with all the updates.

Merry XMas! The front end conversion looks great. I don't think you can tell the difference between yours and a actual 2014! Are you planing a update for the rear as well?

Man I hope Santa had a pair of headlights and front bumper for me lool

gavrocool

Yes, in January i will go for it.

gavrocool

Something needs to be modded at the front,if you look inside the grill you will see a lot of silver parts and pipes,i will paint them black.

I see what your talking about but still awesome job! Looking forward to see the finished product (rear done). Are the headlight fully functional?

gavrocool

Yes,fully functional,the only thing that doesn't work is the TEMPOMAT and the HOLD option,but in the near future it will be possible to make this functions work,the guy from MB told me so.

congrats man .. very nice effort

Looks great Gav! I am afraid however that I have a problem with MBs' new styling. Aggressive? Without question. Do I love the lights and grill...YES! Here comes the BUT...I'm just not sure about about the lower bumper intakes. I'll need to see one in person to know. You probably own the most expensive E Coupe ever with all your mods. Enjoy your car!!

Hey man,

this is looking very nice !
now all that is left is the rear light conversion ?

777svc

thanks in advance

gavrocool

2 OF THE INVOICES.But not all the lines include parts codes,there is also code for paint or handling costs.
First invoice only the positions 1,2 and 3.
Second invoice from position 1to 9.

peterlude

so this conversion cost over $26,000 total?! that's insane. i could sell the car and trade it in for cheaper. a Gigantic waste of money.

gavrocool

26.000?HOW DID YOU CAME UP WITH THIS?THE WHOLE LIST COSTED AROUND 8500EURO,THAT MEANS AROUND 10.000 DOLLARS.THE PRICES ON THE INVOICE ARE IN MY CURRENCY.

gavrocool

The rest is here,now without the total on the invoice so that you will not make the wrong idea about the prices.

Dr-Nab

That's not too bad to be fair man price wise - works out at £5000 to me, great job on the conversion, you planning on doing any aftermarket mods to this bumper when they become available?

Did you get the PD hood? I can remember you saying you were thinking of ordering one

gavrocool

The PD hood has arrived but i will install it in January and of course i will do the first aftermarket mod as soon as it appears,i hate to have a front bumper without a lip to lower it.

hittched

Looks amazing. Here in Toronto I don't know of a good enough shop nor do I have the guts to attempt a conversion like that. Your car looked great before. It looks even better now. Congrats.

andlee

How does the PD hood looks like? Where did you order from?

flizzardo

i am waiting for a place to be able to do this conversion! and hopefully by then they can do at around 5$k both front and rear! just my wishful thinking!!

what is tempomat and hold option?

gavrocool

It will look great after i will install it,right now i am in a bussiness trip,when i will come back i will install it and post pictures.In about 2 weeks i think.I have ordered it from PD directly.They are very ok the guys.

gavrocool

TEMPOMAT is the autopilot and HOLD function keeps your car in drive without holding the brake pedal.
