2 higher quality front and side pics at the last HIN

the bumper is NOT one you can just purchase. We cut 2 bumpers horizontally in half and molded them together, plus had to do custom build outs for the sides. I think the final product looks awesome!

Getting my rear custom bumper done soon, and my interior should be started next week =)

hope you like the 2 new pics below:

interesting randition... seams like everyone is getting these now. Makes sence, cause they look amazing on the w208's. I should know, i kinda started the madness (altho this one guy was makin them in germany when had mine custom fab'd over a year and a half ago) I guees he's the one who should get the credit.... or maybe Aufrecht and Melcher since its they're design we're all copying in the first place.

Did that mesh come with it or did you get it from MB? I gotta replace my mesh with something a bit more sturdy and was gotta get one from MB but dont wanna get the wrong size.

Looks great man!

AMG FTW

thanks for the kind words =) I actually just ordered the OEM mesh from MB.....paid roughly 200 for all 3 pieces.

I like your Brabus quad fogs. Imma stick to my OEM fogs for now as I just changed out all my bulbs, front and bottom to 8000K's.

Awesome. Do you mind telling me from what car the mesh is from and where exactly you got it from? Ray Catena over her in Jersey wanted to charge me $235 just for a front mesh peice... i knew that was a bit too high

I like the single fog look on your car..i think both reditions look great but since your body work is very clean and more towards the mild side (pretty much a stock look (minus the wheels and such) right?) the single fogs bring it together better then i think the quads would for you.

Thanks in advance for your help ( my mesh has been buggin my for awhile and I deff wana change it to OEM AMG mesh)

Man RN, you must work for Mercedes-Benz themselves, first the drawings and now this.....

Opal, looks great man, how was the fitment, looks like you just need a CF lip (cause these cars need one) and I think it'll set off perfect.

hope you like the 2 new pics below:
I agree, yours looks nice and clean and not over done. And the 20's look really nice now with the ground clearance gap that has been decreased with the lower stance now from your lower slung bumper. Your painted grill goes really well with what you did. I'd like to see your car in person someday.

Your brushed wheels make me think about going back to the bushed look I used to have about 4 - 5 years ago with my HRE 547R's. I may end up doing that in the near future but this time I might go with the non-rivet look.

Looking good OPALW208. I hope my little disagreement with RUBBERBAND NINJA on the other thread doesn't discredit my respectful opinion on this subject.
