Hey guys, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I have not heard back yet on how or if the fitment took place last week I'll try to find out ASAP where we are at with this bumper and the ETA. I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear anything.

P.S. That photoshop looks awesome C63_Guy! Fits really well with the rear fender flares.

Not trying to steal any of "nrgy's" thunder but I got these pics today from Revozport. They said the fitment was good and would produce them next week and ship asap.

He also said the mesh grills will be a different style and painted black.

looks promising, can't wait to find out if or how much is this bumper lower than OEM bumper

nrgy

Not at ALL! Thanks for posting that Dads C63. As you can probably tell I've been a little slow lately updating this thread now that the nice weather has hit the NW so I'm glad to have any help I can

But yep, the fitment looks great from the pictures! Revozport did mention they were going to make minor adjustments to the tooling to get an even better/perfect fit, and that they would be ready to ship next week like Dads C63 already mentioned. So it looks like the wait is finally over and just in time for summer.

It most likely will not be lower than the OEM bumper.

Looking good!!

Has Revozport tried to put on their "plow lip" on the bumper? Have they tried out that fitment, too?

I presume many of the forum members, who will buy the bumper, will want to use their CF lips.

Wow. I really like the overall look of it mounted, but the angle of the lip looks to be raked upward more than I'd like in this picture:



Especially when compared to this picture:



It could just be the angle of the bottom of the vents that's messing my perception up, but I was hoping that the lower portion of the lip would be flat relative to the overall bodyline of the car, like on the DTM safety car. Can we get a direct side view shot from a lower angle to see how this is really going to look?

Thanks and I hope I'm just seeing things,

For those of you that were concerned like myself how we were going to delete the stock fog lamps without throwing a check light don't worry about it. I unplugged both fog lamps and there are no trouble lights or "check lamp" lights, good news.

However, as soon as you remove the bulbs for the side markers you get a "check side marker light" note on the dash. This bulb is so small we probably won't have to worry about leaving it tied up under the front somewhere.

Josh,
You already removed your side markers. How did you fool the electronics into believing its still there or did you just tie it under the front somewhere?

Dads C63

Okay, after driving a few more miles it does recognize that you have no fog lamps and gives you a "check fog lamp" message. Hit OK and it goes away. Bummer!

C63 Guy

Yo, Keith!

I've got a resistor kit for the side marker lamps, but I haven't installed it yet. So I pretty much just end up clicking OK every time it gets dark. Not a big enough deal to do anything about at the moment...

A friend at MB says it's possible to deactivate the fogs and side markers through the star system, but he doesn't know the specific addresses. Anyone got that info?

YOU CAN TAKE TO DEALER AND HAVE THE FOGS PROGAMMED OUT OF THE THE FT SAM. C63 COME PROGRAMMMED TO TURN FOGS ON WHEN TURNING. GO LEFT THE LEFT FOG COMES ON GO RIGHT THE RIGHT COMES ON.. THEY WILL MOST LIKELY CHARGE YOU 89 DOLLAR DIAG FOR THE SDS HOOK UP AND PROGRAMMING. I WORK AS A TECH FOR MERCEDES BENZ, RBM OF ATLANTA NORTH FYI...

where could i buy the same as this bumper?

Hey Josh,

I've been talking to Ken about the bottom openings (furthest bottom right opening shown in the picture) and we're having a little bit of a misunderstanding. Do you know if they are in fact openings with mesh in them like the other -bigger- openings, or are these areas in fact filled, which is what Ken believes is the case?

Hope you can clear this up

Thanks

dacls63amg

Those areas seem to be filled in and covered over with cf. That would be strange if they were open and filled in with mesh.

mrc63jg

Why are they there at all then? What purpose could they possibly serve if they're covered?

callmiro

The SL is definitely open...hey...that's a hot grill too

mrc63jg

Callmiro - I mean the openings that are under those openings on the C63 DTM bumper. The SL F1 safety car doesn't have these at all. What do you think about the ones on the C63 DTM bumper though?

callmiro

Totally my bad.....

I think the lower ones should be filled or they may become too fragile on curbs and speedbumps...just my 2 cents plus tax

exdes

Seems the bottom spoiler should be lower.. right now, it looks like it is level with the side skirt.. Need better pics to really tell.
Also the bottom spoiler should be have the holes opened.. but then it would make it so easy to crack.

mrc63jg

Yea I definitely agree that it would make that bottom part extremely fragile, but I went over a speedbump a bit too straight on with my oem bumper and cracked it the slightest bit not too long ago... Needless to say I've had the car in the shop waiting for this bumper to replace it ever since. With any sort of fiberglass/carbon fiber/FRP if you get any sort of a crack, big or small, there's really no way of repairing it to pre-crack condition.

C63 Guy

Actually they're brake ducts on the DTM Safety Car. They have guides that channel air to the backside of the front wheels. So, on the safety car they ARE open with mesh inserts. I'm getting my bumper with them filled in flat, like the CLK63 BS and the SL Pace Car and the Photoshop I did. Much cleaner.

Josh

mrc63jg

Finally some closure!! How easy would it be to have a shop fabricate these guides? I already emailed Ken to make these openings and if it's too late I'd definitely want to try and make them fully functional. If it's not too late though, I'm definitely getting them filled in to be flush with the rest of the lip!
