As opposed to tearing off your complete front end, re-installing new fenders and bumper, realigning everything and then doing body work, sanding, smoothing and repainting to match?
and then wishing you had a rear set to match
Hey guys, pardon my ignorance but i was wondering if anyone knew if the rear bumper for the wagon above is actually available to suit my 2013 C63 estate. Sorry for sounding rather daft. it looks sweet

No offense intended bud but as pretty as your wagon is its never going to be a BS. Obviously your pockets are deep considering you have the one an only 2013 C63 with personalized options but you should have saved your coins on the exhaust, spacers and tune and gone for BS if that's what you were initially after.
I know i sound like a p-r-i-c-k but i am just being realistic. wake up smell the coffee and don't waste your money.
Well thats just my two cents and hope you get enjoy your car.
anyone out there that is doing the BS conversion looking to sell their old 12+ front bumper? My wifes 12 c300 got hit and needs a new front bumper and DRL.. was considering doing a 63 front bumper, fenders, grills, lights etc...of course no badges!
Thanks for your PS! It looks great! I'm so sure that's what I want!

As you and I have talked about before, I am much ore interested in a widebody rear. I think that the BS looks great, and the car you are building is killer!!!! But, I have been interested in the rear for a while now. However, if this BS series kit you are making will allow for wider fronts AND rears, well then.................
I'm all for it! When will it be done, or on the market??
I'm sure it could be done but will be very expensive and you wouldn't recoup much of the cost at resale. The issue with our cars are not the width of the front wheels/tires, but the back wheels/tires. Increasing wheel/front tire size without a corresponding increase in the rear wheels/tires will not yield much of a handling gain and I think the car will look even more out of proportion with only the wider front fenders.

When is the rear set-up coming????
Weren't you guys working on that several months back???

I believe there are others that are working on the BS hood project and I will advise when I find out.
I am still waiting on HMS for the rear fender package as previously mentioned. You can have a local body shop do the rear like Josh and I did. Then the fronts will look more in line. Looks awesome and mine allows 335's on the rear for everyday driving.

And what about the rear fenders?

I still have 10MM spacers behind them.
Although the whole BS conversion on a sedan is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!
I do not want to convert my sedan to a BS, unless Keith, you perfect the kit and it is reasonable. I am so much more interested in the rear wide-body.
Keith, I see that the rear is available for $10k, if you bring your car to Ohio. How long will this conversion take? How long will my stay in Ohio be??
How to create your own black series from bumper with changing fenders
So I decided to fabricate my own front bumper. It's not hard all you have to do is buy a w203 amg v2 look front bumper off eBay for a couple hundred bucks, cut the lower half off and use the top half of you current bumper.
I have a 2009 w204 c350 sport changed a lot of the look on it. It's been working out well.
Since I'm new to the forum, thought I might share some of the stuff I'm doing...ill post more pics soon
Body fill to cover the fiberglass
Filler primer to uncover the imperfections
Alignment notice I did not have to change the fenders to make this work.
More angles I used wire to hold it together until I get the right adjustments.
This where I its 1/4 inch screws and lock nuts along with locktite industrial glue to hold it together
Fitted the inside parts from my old bumper to the inside of the new bumper also helper connect both pieces
Fiber glass coating to cover the breaks and also to help connect it together making bond stronger like welding to metals together...I worked for years and a body shop so it is a little easy for me
This is the bumper I got off eBay will fit a 2007 model w203 but not a w204 without some fabrication work to make it fit.
Final imperfection spot putty coating before coating with sealer.
Current bumper inside pieces will be needed in order for this to work
If my collision repair instructor saw me do this lol he would kill me because the bondo should be put on with smooth layer but I have been doing this for so long I can level it out
Last minute adjustment before bonding both bumpers
Side view of last minut adjustments again notice there are no fender changes to a wide body look
