Single colour is just a board swap.

so it stays the colour you pick and doesn't fade off to white ?

2016 C300 Avant Garde Conversion 2023

Hello Keith, this conversion looks amazing. I am in the process of doing this myself to my C300 base model. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a rear bumper with my exact color to my vehicle, however I did find some on other websites. My only concern is the following on attachment. Did your sport/amg rear bumper come with these metal brackets. Also is there chance maybe you can check the link and let me know if that rear bumper would work. My car does not come with any sensors in the back. I appreciate your time. I will be getting the diffuser from the link you provided if this rear bumper I attached works out.

Cool. I'm sure you will like the new look and best of luck to you!

The bumper cover at the link above is correct. Yes, my new AMG/Sport bumper cover also had those brackets (they're plastic) attached to the inside of the cover.

However they did not actually attach to anything. I think the part those brackets attach to is not present on the base/Avantgarde models. It ended up not mattering, as mine was fully secure after installation. Maybe those plastic brackets are just simply there to fill the empty space between the cover and the chassis (?). IDK, but all was fine for me.

This was the inside of my new AMG bumper cover:

I will, thanks. Would you recommend paying the extra cash for a CAPA Certified rear bumper or is that just a myth?

Cool. I don't know what that is. I do know that both my front and rear aftermarket bumper covers were "Good Go" brand and the fit and finish was just as good as the factory parts they replaced.

Made it very clear that if there’s a issue, the whole system will need to be replaced.
BUT for some reason they decided to just send me the board for 1 side
I paid to have a shop install so they couldn’t keep blaming me.
AND it’s the same damn problems as when it was first installed !!!
I will not use them for any services or products
moving forward unless THEY decide to come install or pay for a company to install and the system works fully

i don’t see that happening

but I’ll keep u posted

Sorry to hear that, hopefully it works out either they get it fixed for you or you figure it out somehow.

Nope, you didn't miss anything. The rear bumper cover uses the original mounting points and hardware, no additional modifications are needed.

Hello again friend. I was wondering if you used the following item from the diffuser kit ? Circled in yellow on attachment.

Hello there

Yes, I used all the parts. That's the internal reinforcement for the diffuser panel and IMO it's required. Otherwise the outer painted panel will be just a flappy piece of plastic.

You'll see that the slots and tabs lineup with each other.

DRL UPDATE

So their distributor said to replace 1 board. I did and the system went back to the way it was improperly working after the first install, and the system also started to work together after a few weeks.
turn signals don’t work and I get error lights, but the DRL are controlled and function properly with the BT app.
I’m not sure the company has all the coding worked out yet, BUT INFINITE HAS BEEN A VERY ACTIVE COMPANY WORKING WITH ME TO GET RESOLUTION !!!

this piece also holds the electronics for the hands free trunk opener, if you have the option.
