Says the canards are removable. Debating it. Anyone have experience?
Attached is a picture of what I think it may look like?

2010 C63 Estate
I quite like this actually.
Still there would be some work to getting it fitted and finished correctly.
Good link. And yes, it appears to be the same one pictured on the Silver Estate vehicle.
I think the example of the red C63 does it ZERO justice. The pics they provide look terrible.
I am a fan of this, as it lowers the cost of having to do wide kit.
Good find!

There is no way you can install OEM BS front and rear bumpers without installing the appropriate fenders/quarter panels or modify your original ones.
So this kit is just a replica of the BS kit made to fit directly to the normal C63 or C class without major changes.
In my opinion having only a wide front bumper a la BS style would give the car a funny look. If you go wide do it uniformly. But that's just me

The silver wagon's bumper is different than the eBay link.
If you look closely at the wagon, along the wheel well edge the upper part of the bumper transitions narrow to fit the stock fenders while the lower part of the bumper is wider. IMO that looks quite silly compared to the eBay link which is made to fit the more narrow AMG cars to begin with.

Dear God that rear bumper is hideous. It reminds me of the civics that have ginormous bumpers that have a built in "diffuser." I day keep it stock. Save your money and get a lip and a diffuser or wheels, but please not that rear bumper. The front is ok...ish...

I agree the fenders are stock. But the front bumper can be an OEM BS bumper and then the edges were modified to "fit" the regular C63 bumper. That seems to make the most logical sense as to why the edges are so odd.

I'd agree with you, but if it is an OEM BS, it looks like the bottom headlight seam and hood joints fit too closely. As far as I'm aware there would have to be gaps and the seam around the hood would be off, right?

C63BS
That silver car looks like it may be the OEM BS bumper which a shop shaped the top part down to match the regular C class fender. Buyer beware from stuff on eBay, many sellers will use pictures from forums that dont exactly match the product. Just saying becareful on ebay
With that said, I think the facelift C63 bumpers are actually quite classy, the BS bumper is a little out there, it goes well when the the whole car is outrageous with the fenders and all (real BS), but the bumper alone looks a little tacky IMO without the rest of the BS body.

Perhaps if the shop modified the bumper to fit the stock fenders, they also modified the headlight gaps to better fit the prefacelift items?
