Europlate

honestly i don't even know why i bother to put this on since I'm probably changing the bumper coming December, so i can put the AMG one to good use to develop a add-on perhaps.

But here's a pre-view pic anywayz before I wash the car and get the tire back on for the passenger rear on thursday.

p.s. got the grille repainted and put it back.

Creating an add-on for the AMG front bumper would be quite difficult considering its shape at the bottom...but I would certinaly be interested to see what you come up with.

JeT, Kleeman already makes an add-on lip that is only for the AMG front end. On their website it looks like a complete replacement, but it's actually an add-on. I was actually considering getting the front and rear, but they told me it would not fit on '04 and prior models (230 K SS, 240, or 320) w/o the AMG front or rear bumper.

I talked to Kleeman directly and they told me it was an add on lip. They even sent me an email indicating that it is definitely an add on lip and not a replacement bumper...Unless, of course, they changed their status. If that's the case, I'm getting the Kleeman front bumper, but I wouldn't doubt what was told to me from the "horses mouth" directly. That was from Corey (?) at Kleeman USA.

I just checked Kleemann's site and it does look like it's two piece, but hard to tell what's under there for the front, but the rear is easier to tell that it looks to be a AMG kit under there.

Frank, from what they told me, these add ons are only for the AMG bumpers. That's why they told me that it's not compatible with my car , but if you guys are going to concept a front-lip, that's cool too Yours will probably be much more reasonable in price than Kleeman's.

Yeah, the one thing I can say is that from looking at the pics that are on the website, you can slightly see the crease where the lip stops on the bumper. It's maybe ~2 inches below where the bumper meets the fender.

Either way, their add-on lip looks good, but for the price...I'm kinda glad it's not available for my car. The cool thing, however, is that there are air cooling brake ducts placed right next to the foglights.

thanks guys. i'll take some night pic later.

the car I'd say it's only half way from what I really want it to look like. What's still left on my list are the Carlsson CR-S kit, carlsson quad-exhaust, and ECU/Pulley kit.

Frank, your car is one of my favorites I've seen on here so far

The lowering and HRE wheels make the car! The rest is icing on the cake.

I agree! Car looks great.

Mind if I ask how much the knob set you back?
Also, is that suede leather around it?
