CLS side vents on front bumper
So I found these pics of testing at the ring back in the days.
This is testing of at the time new CLS 63.
But when the CLS 63 came in production it came without the front bumper side vent.
-Too bad![Confused](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

So now I`m thinking of convert my CLS 55 bumper with a side vent similar to this one.
My plan is to install one in carbon fibre and do the necessary adjustments to get it right![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Heres a picture of the one I think can work, this is from a C63:

What do you think? GO or NO GO?

Thanks for feedback![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I ordered the carbon C63 side vents today, it seemed to be good quality on pictures.
So when they arrive I will start the modification of the bumper

Pretty upset now that I see this that they didn't go through with producing it that way. Definitely let us know how ur project goes.
