Lol! Thats Sunil's car, he is the one who put me up to the change. Now if I can steal his engine I will be set.
It started as a 2003 C320.

I will list all the parts and cost when I get the car back. It's a nicer set up when you look at costs for fogs and grill pieces. Now that I put the liners up to each other I don't think they needed to be changed. So its the cover, support, three crash inserts, the lower lip brackets, fogs, the grills, washer flaps, tow hook cover, and two small bumper brackets.

Didn't Sunil put an E55 engine into his C-class? I don't know if they are hugely different, but I'm pretty sure it came from an E class.

Looks fantastic! Your car is Pewter Silver, right?....same as mine. Good to get an idea how it would look on my car from your pics.
A couple of years ago, I tried to get the performance package bumper for the C55 that was available from the AMG Performance Studio (formerly AMG Manufaktur), but my sources could not get the parts as AMG decided to put a tight lid on exporting these parts to non-approved regions (like North America). Then I considered doing what you have done exactly.....getting a CLK63 AMG bumper, but then I decided to save the money and put it towards purchasing another car. One of these days, I may yet still do this.....

Your super charger in my car! lol! I will list the parts and numbers and prices here shortly. I need to go through the invoices and put it all together.
And I was going to pick your brain about your super charger set up versus going with the Kleeman set up.

I really cant believe I missed this thread. It just adds to vast amount of parts for MBZ that are interchangeable from make to make. It really looks clean. awesome job.
Pick away.
. Great guy to deal with purchased the old amg bumper off of him.
