Anyone notice the bulging bodywork in the bumper flanking the license plate? Why are those huge bulges there?

Unfortunately in the US and Canada those are government required bumperettes.

Europe doesn't require them though.

Can they be removed or does one have to buy a euro spec rear bumper to get rid of them?

MOD here "Rock" took his off (C63S) and said it was a lot of work plus I hate killing the factory paint and it would require a bumper respray (to do it right).

The key question to him would be would you do it again or not?

If not why not?

The only other possible way would be to use eight 'Bumper Plugs', but I doubt it would look decent with that many of them.

The cleanest way would be to just buy another rear bumper, uro spec if need be.

I'm assuming these bumpers are installed at the factory? Wondering if these holes can be prevented like the front plate bracket.

Here's some interesting information I just clipped off of the MB AMG GTR site today 8/4/17.

IF Mercedes plans on delivering these cars by the end of the month, they are going to need to fill in the missing information real soon.

Net power577 hp @ 6,250 rpmNet
torque516 lb-ft @ 1,900-5,000 rpm
Compression ratio9.5:1
ConstructionDiecast alloy block and heads
Fuel requirementPremium unleaded gasolineFuel capacity19.8 gallons

FUEL ECONOMY
City fuel economyTBD
mpgHighway estimateTBD
mpgEmission certificationTBD

Not sure how up to date or relevant that info is as it is missing from the Canadian website as well, and yet the GTR is on the roads here
