rs replica

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!

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.

haters crazy
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

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?

300 is pretty standard, not great and not bad.

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.
