Here are the pics of my new bumper and other body upgrade. Please note that my car is a 2010 C350 and I retrofitted the new face lift C63 bumper. There is a gap under my head lamps (as expected) but it is hardly noticable since my car is black. I will replace my headlights and hood next spring once they have nice aftermarket ones. I have used my original fog lamps and relocated them behind the front grill. IMO I have placed them too close from each other and I will remove the bumper this week-end and relocate them 4 inches to the outside. my next mod is coilovers which have been waiting in the box for about a month!

That was f...ckin smart ti place the fogs like that. You could even smoke them a bit and you would almost not even see them.

Yes, cheers mate! I was thinking to cut a hole in the side grills at first but there was not enough room to put them there and it could have looked not clean. Then I figured there was enough space behind the center grill to fit them. All I had to do is remove them from the original grills, use the original screws to fix them on a 5.5 inches X 0.75 inch aluminium flat bar and srew it on the aluminum bumper reinforcment. It is solid as a rock and I am using the original wiring. Like I mentioned I will replace them a few inches to the outside because it liooks a little weird as they are too close from each other. I use a laser level to make sure they are at the same height and on a symetric distance. I love the look, now I need a front lip under that bumper :p

However, I would hesitate to do it with a white color (or any pale) because the gap under the head light will be amplified with the contrast. As far as the alignment of the hood and the little vertical parts of the bumper that's hardly noticable and no one will ever notice.
BUT, you could easily fit a trim to fill the gap under the headlight. It's about 1/4 of an inch and you can work somethong out.
In the black color I don't see it and I will replace my head lights and custom hood next spring so everything will be perfect.
Stay tuned for the photos :-)
And I want to assure you that my transaction went perfect with Gary!

Here are some photos I took this morning. Like I said, it's not that bad in black... and it will not stay like that.
You can always buy a chrome trim with 2 sided stick tape at the auto part. Use a Dremmel or a strap sander to adjust it, then have it wrapped in your color and stick it to the head lamp itself to fill the gap. If you don't like it you buy 2 head lamps and a hood.
I'm very happy with mine but I'm looking forward to have the new C63 Black Series hood and new head lights to complete this front end.
AND front lip Gary?? :-)

One recomendation, you may paint the hidden part of your head light in flat black color. (I will do it when I remove my front bumper to re-locate my fog lamps) I mean the part of the head light that is under the bumper can be seen thru the gap and if you paint it flat black you won't see it.
