C63 Facelift OEM Front Lip Removal
Hey guys, tried doing a search but couldn't find much. Anybody have a DIY on how to remove the stock front lip from the facelifted C63? It's essentially the lower black middle portion of the bumper...
I see a few clips underneath, are there any clips above (where the grill is)? Or is it held by double sided tape? Will I need to remove the bumper to have this done? Thanks!

There are 3 that you can see behind the grill. Easy enough to pop these. The only awkward one is the far left upper because you can't reach through the grill to remove it as there is a cover in the way.
Just drop your front under tray down and you can reach up and remove it. Then the splitter just lifts off. Whole job takes about 30 mins. As my car isn't lowered I didn't even bother jacking it up.

This should help, about half way down in the thread is a picture. It's super easy to do.

I just removed mine, carbon wrapped it and re-installed. It takes 5 minutes tops to pull off. You have a push in fastener on each side of the lip on the bottom and then 4 on the top of the lip. The three on the top of the lip I used a small screwdriver and a flashlight then used a pair of tweezers to pull them through the grill. The top fastener on the right side is where the fun begins as there is a cover blocking it. What *I* did was looking under the car *WITHOUT removing anything you can actually see the bottom of the fastener. I used the same small screwdriver and popped it up from the bottom carefully not to shoot it somewhere under the undercarriage covers.
I then reinstalled everything **BUT** on that hard to reach fastener I cut a flat spot in the radius and re-installed from the bottom (upside down). I had to cut a flat spot for clearance as one of the bumper clips is directly below it and without that cut I could not get it in straight.

Any other advice would be great.
