Is there a reason you did this over finding a Coupe AMG bumper?

OK, cool! I was just curious. I really do like it.

EDIT: Oh, I'm sure they're hard to get a hold of, I just didn't know if shipping one from Europe would have been more cost effective than customing this.

if you can get the shipping cost down... coz the bumper itself is pretty cheap for an oem amg... I have gone through this...

Are you going to try to use the SL AMG bumper for that as well? That will be SICK and will need a great exhaust to fill it out!
