alright, i finally found a source to get the rs front bumper. it is on order right now. i hope it looks good and fits right.

i love the look of the rs front and am getting tired of the stock 430 face.
i will take pictures as soon as it comes in. both before and after paint.

also i got it for 300.
u guys think it is a good price(if it fits)?

can't wait, just wanted to post and share my joy!

shoot some pics...where do people recommend getting a front spoiler/bumper from. I don't mind my CLK 430 look but don't like the round fog lights...

So....what happen? Is your dealer reputable? Any modifications needed? How much for install/modify?

Thanks

vis went on vacation until the 6th.
i say that the bumper will be here within the month.

once i get it i will start taking pictures of the whole process.

i spoke to one of the reps and he said that it should fit fine. he said that if it does not, tell him what's wrong and he will tell his guy in China to fix it.

we'll see.

people have told me that VIS stuff fits good.

I have yet to see one that fits well without major work (i.e. cutting the bumper in half and molding it to the stock AMG bumper). Good luck

If its a damn good fit then I am sure that this guy will ge lots of business from us for replacements...these bumpers sure love to catch all the bumps and high parking curves!!

I hope it fits perfectly. How much will a body shop charge me to get it mounted and painted. I have been quoted 300$ is that good?

charliev68

300 is pretty standard, not great and not bad.

MilitaryBenz

keep us posted man good luck with your mod

VerTigo456

any suggestions on vendors?

CLK430Benz

So....I guess you got ripped off? What happen? Did you ever end up getting the bumper?

CLK430Benz

anyone gonna respond?

charliev68

on the boat from China, gonna get here very soon. please be patient.
since only one is ordered he could not air ship it.

I hope the best. If this works out I need one too.

CLK430Benz

Same Here

charliev68

i will keep you guys posted.

charliev68

gonna have a raw pic of the bumper soon.

Hi Guys,

I just got an email from VIS with a teaser photo. He will let me know exactly when it'll be here...it should be this month...I HOPE! I really hope it fits well.

gregory13lil

I really hope it fits well also!! Good luck..its gonna look sweet

i also wanted to ask the people who have the rs kit...i have seen some with the cut out for the euro plate and some without.
what is the deal with that?

55 ON IT

Feliz at Euro Passions offered the option of whether to have to euro plate or not. The reason why my bumper doesn't is because I molded the bumpers together and kept my stock impact strip.
