Great mods. Love the red/orange sills. Now paint that manifold if you didn't already

nice to see you are doing the fogs. I was looking at the hella 90mm projector fogs the other day. Take some pics when ur done please.

+1, I'm excited to see how this will turn out. I have a cracked fog light that I have been putting off fixing. Might consider a similar retrofit to boost lighting and looks! Good work maverik

megacrazy

Already done it. The extra lighting is definitely worth the effort.

ghiaguy

Not much experience with lighting here, are there additional harnesses to splice in? Its not plug and play, right?

Duncan64

i'm slowly but surely upgrading... i'm going to ask for these for xmass I just installed brand new horns, when i got the car that hardly worked. SOunded pretty sick

megacrazy

Almost plug and play. You just gotta get an adapter to convert from the car's fogs to the H11/H9 of the Hellas. They're plenty and cheap on ebay.

Awesome! I think that's the way I'm going when the exposed bulb finally bites the dust. The car had a severely cracked (missing most of the lens) fog light on the passenger side when I bought it a year and a half ago. That bulb is out in the elements and is still kicking- I don't want to be the one to put it down.

lol idk if i even got the adapter plug to be honest...but ya I'll take pics. Picking up the CLk63 bumper tomorrow from paint, then just waiting for backing frame that holds impact strips in and then I will begin putting the bumper together and then install. Probably gonna do this next weekend fully. Assuming I'm not missing any vital parts of course. I guess I gotta order the adapter now too. But as soon as it's on I am gonna have it wrapped in clear bra to protect it. I'm tired of having bumpers chipped and repainted!

maverik259

lol nvm, I reminded myself why I didn't have this problem is because I just ordered an H9 HID set of bulbs to replace the 9006 ones that are alrady plugged into my c55 fogs. So I won't need extra adapters, they'll just be plug and play!

Ok so its finally time. I've just finished installing the CLK63 bumper after having it sit in my garage for the last 4 months!

The hardest part was getting everything you need to be honest. The install was a piece of cake. Take maybe 2 hours altogether and thats just because I was dicking around and taking my God awful time and adjusting my HID fogs that I had already installed.

I used a lot of pieces off my old bumper since I didnt know what a lot of the items were much less where they went exactly so a lot of putting the CLK63 bumper together occurred once I got my C55 bumper off and saw "Oh this is where the rivets and these clips go!" lol

I especially reused these tiny clips that for some unknown reason besides needing to rape and pillege in the infamous German fashion are $10 a piece. It is the size of a penny fellas! and you supposed need like $25 of them or some rediculousness! I only found a spot for like 10 and I only used like 8 that I pulled off the old bumper.

Man, you really beat the sh** out of your OEM bumper, lol

Mod looks great! I think you've just inspired me to add something new to my list

and ya that bumper was effed up by a drive shaft I ran over on the hwy that was unavoidable...

Alexbenz

it's been a day, still waiting? lol....I've seen this bumper a few times on a w203 but not much

megacrazy

Looking good. I see you got the Hellas mounted. Good stuff.

SamIam43vr

Newzchspy

Me likey what you have done Maverick!!!

maverik259

just got back from vacation to see my newly Eurocharged TCU sitting on my door step! Installed her immediately, then had to jump my car due to a dead battery after sitting for 2 weeks without being run (same old story unfortunately), bought a new battery from dealer, and then got to run her to fully experience the new tune!

hands down one of the best things I've done! Much better tune than the ECU tune! Such a smoother pull through the gears and much quicker shifts! Awesome job Eurocharge, thankyou!

Duncan64

Lucky duck! Wish I could upgrade that lazy tranny. I flashed my 335i and I know what your talking about by it changing the entire car!

megacrazy

Nice nice. How does it drive under partial/light throttle? Nice and smooth?

maverik259

oh ya, absolutely ZERO jerkyness or shutter! It's def a smooth exponential curve now!
