CLK 63 Front bumper or OEM C55 Bumper + CF Lip?

As many of you know, i crashed my car over a month ago. Blake_P suggested i replace my current CLK bumper with the CLK 63 bumper. I would do it in a heart beat but i cant let the Euro TECH CF Lip go.

i already have buyers but it's a toss up. i cant decide. since you guys have been so helpful why not ask?

i can go either way, so i will let you guys decide for me! BTW - money is not an issue. I do not have to pay extra for this bumper and i would be getting money back for the lip when i sell it.

here is what my car looks like with the lip:

C55 Bumper w/ Lip:




or CLK63 Bumper:

CLK63 bumper. They will probably come out with a lip for it sooner or later.

try to custom fit the Clk55 lip to the Clk63 bumper...
maybe a little trimming?

BTW, this time around, don't use the front plate

Go for the CLK bumper. It looks very aggressive!

I would get the CLK63 bumper. The only thing stopping me from getting it for my car is the cost!! According to my sources, it's a lot more expensive than the stock C55 bumper.

wow,

everyone thinks i should use the 63 bumper?! thats crazy!...no one else thinks the current setup is sweeter? b/c i dont think it flows with the car.

yes, it's more aggressive but the lines dont go as well with it.

i dont think they will be making a lip for it anytime soon...

it’s still a tough decision...

I say CLK63 because then i have to chance to get your 55 lip
but then in fact.. i think the middle part of the CLK63 front bumper is a bit too pointy, if you get what i mean. Doesnt suit the original C55 grille. If you'r going for CLK bumper you should consider the new CLK grille as well.

C55 + Lip, at the end of the day, the CLK63 is awesome, but still stock looking.
