Rare mod on pre-face lift front bumper

Hi,
After months of reading on this forum, I just collected a new (to me) C63 estate 2010 with power performance pack and 93.00km on the odometer 😊

Previous owner have done a wired modification on the front spoiler, probably to make it looks more like a face lift with led lights or something. Anyhow I think it looks terrible and it will be removed. Hopefully I'll be able to save the bumper and fix the damage with some black mech or something. Not sure how or what can be done, and would appreciate any input on how this could be fixed in the best way.


Some cutting have been done

You could add mesh to make it look like how it's suppose to, but it will never really look "right". I would honestly just get a new bumper or try and see if a salvage yard has one.

Yes you probably right. I have a facelifted bumper that I got with the car, but as far as I understand both new hadlights and ledlights will need to be purchased? Will start looking for a pre facelift bumper.

It seems you would need a new hood as well if you added the new bumper, and then depo lights if you don't want gaps.

You could sell that bumper and get a pfl one lol.

its a lot of work to convert to a face lift. you'll need to rewire your headlights, new hood, new grill, and new fenders. don't forget all the misc items like fender liner, under belly tray, etc.

i'd suggest finding a replacement front bumper. the PFL bumper looks nicer and more aggressive in my eyes.

Agree, will keep it as close to orginal as possible. Also have the original 5spoke AMG wheels, that will replace the 19" aftermarket wheels.

Just leave it. It a Piecha design DRL and a quality mod. They used to be quiet expensive somewhere around $5 to $600



The lip that is on there is also from Piecha and not cheap.



You might have a few more part on the car.

Take look at that link.

Thanks for info, I was looking for info about that front lip but couldn't find it anywhere.

Might be better of in black colour, seems like the paint job on the led lights is bad quality, also one of the lights have moisture inside (could problable be fixed). Will probably check this out before replacing bumper 👍
