New Front Bumper
Where can I get a new front bumper W208, I'm looking for a Carlsson or Lorinser or something that looks cool. Replica, I don't want to spend to much. Does anyone have any idea, I have searched these forums, but they are hard to find. Why can't we get someone to make a mold for us, if we get enough people????

How come nobody knows anything about Front Bumpers. Why is it so hard to get a cool loking front bumper for a car that is so popular????? Doesn't make sense. I can't figure out why they haven't made New Headlights, Bumpers, Etc. I know everone here would buy them up. Just doesn't make sense.

It's not hard, just expensive.
You can go with Lorinser but that's like 2 G's or Expression which is less than a grand.
I have not seen any pictures of other kits outside of what you can get from Europassion which is no longer on the board.

I have that exact bumper. Its painted and will be installed very soon. Most likely this weekend. I will snap some pic's before, During and after install.
So far it looks nice and was easy to prep and spray.

the bumper was 260-ish about 400 delivered.
Here are some pics just after paint - Literally. It still need a wipe down and final prep. install to be with-in a week or so.

Is there any mesh that goes in the center? What did you think of the quality?
What fog lights are you supposed to use?
Thanks so much!!

Out Of Control!!
Its a 430 rebadged as a 55 AMG 
I dont like that bumper at all. Dont buy something cuz its cheap, yuo will regret it and always wish you had bought the more expensive one. I should be receiving my Carlsson RS front bumpers today (if they can get through this ice storm!) I will try to get it installed by next week.

Description of vehicle says it's made by 'Pride'. Anybody ever heard of this manufacturer? I haven't...
