Terrence,

Here's my opinion....

If you want an aggressive look and a mod that stand out from a far distance, go for the CLK63 bumper.

edited for my vote: C55 with lip for a clean look/flow.

I think the CLK is tight, but it won't work on your car. The CLK bumper isn't put on the C55 for a reason. It doesn't flow. Keep the Lip, it looks great.

actually, the C55 has the CLK55 bumper to begin with...
then, they discontinued the C55 and came out with the CLK63 which had a newer bumper

he just wants the updated bumper

ekkkkkkkkk...same difference?
lol. it's not here thats is all that maters.

its really hard to tell on black. i have only ever seen a white CLK63 and that looked sweet. the image i provided up top is a bad example cuz that CLK looks cheap for some reason. maybe it's he overhead angel or b/c it doesnt have bix.

CLK63 w/ the lip!...

I like that carbon fiber front lip. See if it'll fit on the CLK63 front end.

If it were me, I'd go all out and replace the body kit and make it look so much different than all the other C55's out there.

That bumper in the video is NOT the CLK63 front bumper. Rather, it is the performance package bumper (or what people sometimes call the F1 bumper) from AMG Performance Studio.
