It's a Carbon Creations Morello Edition Rear Bumper for W203. PITA to install but comes with an integrated carbon fiber 3 fin diffuser and lookes super.

holy crap that bumper looks epic.

FrankW 10-28-2012 03:21 AM

epic on the other end of the spectrum for sure...when you see it in person.

Agree regarding the single tip setup but with dual tips I think it looks much better.
Here are some of my pictures:

I don't like the exhaust setup/tow hook. The bumper, however, looks good to me. Not a fan of all red tail lights either.

91RS 10-28-2012 01:09 PM

Yeah, I'm definitely not a fan of the exhaust and tow hooks deal.

Way to take a clean/classy looking dual exhaust and turn it into a Japanese rice box - only thing missing is the rain collector tips sticking skyward. Bumper is cool though.

Has anyone noticed that rectangular plate he has covering the spare tire tub? I'm assuming that's for cleaner airflow. This guy definitely has this car set up for the track so I understand the tow hook and single exhaust (weight savings).

Good guess. Also, is that a reinforced subframe or stock? I don't think I have looked under my car in a while so can't remember if mine looks like that.

AMG3.2 10-28-2012 07:17 PM

I'm not sure, I haven't looked at mine in a while either. It looks pretty beefy nonetheless.

If you look closely he probably put that plate there to reinforce the rear bumper where it curves under spare wheel well which is a bad design where it would catch the air under the car like a scope and lift.

He probably had to move the tow hook because extreme dimension's bumper dont have a opening for the original mount.

it's definitely an aftermarket plate i remember how mine looked and it's not like that, maybe to reduce drag coefficiency?

Oh that makes perfect sense. Yuck, so the bumper is just scooping air... No good.

From Fluid Motor Union's page...

"And if you know us, when it comes to modifications, the world is not enough — we always want more, there’s always more to do. Such is the case with Anthony’s new rear bumper. The diffuser at the bottom of the bumper had a TON of area to suck up air and mess with downforce, so we added an aluminum piece that runs from just in front of the differential cooler and connects to the bumper’s diffuser. Now he won’t suffer as many ill effects from improper turbulence behind the bumper, and it adds a bit more of a race-ready aesthetic to the rear end"

Hey I was right! :D

either way, the exhaust is a pretty clean job. love looking at the welds on those. bumper decision...not so much.

LOL, you reminded me of my Supra days. Tow hook reminds me of civics, sounds good though

tow hooks are getting played out. they belong on cars that happen to have the same name as you ;) http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/fe...819102_717.jpg
