nice you will have another first amg63 w208. when I first got there, I walked into your program, and then heard Ameriprise and realized that I was suppose to be in the other room in front of the host podium. funny thing was even my gf said that car is probably someone from the forum. Definitely like what you did with the front and rear, next time you have an event, let me know! gotta change out my 02 sensor this weekend, and i can finally drive mine again.

Thats not a KIT. it is all genuine amg parts off of clk63 w209 and cl63 back bumper. it's not ready to buy kit, it is custom fabricated by myself and it will run you about $7k to do a setup similiar. and belive me it wasnt easy very time consuming and frostrating.

Hey VIP

Your car rocks!!

You are most definately a very talented individual .

Can you post more pics of it? One thing though in the second pic you can't see where your exhaust is hiding.

By the way if you pull off the CLK63 conversion can you post pics and a write up. I would love to see that done!!

Ps, your car is now my screen saver!

thanks pauljay. the exhaust wasnt complete at that point. that picture is about a year and a half old now the car looks a little different, i'm still working on the back and the grille once its done i will post pictures. as for the 63 swap i will probably start it as soon as i get my other car, so i would have something to drive even tough the next car wont be a daily driver but once i pick it up i'll be too excited to leave it home(F430) so i figured the first two weeks i'll be daily driving it so i can use that down time for this car to do the swap because after all this is my daily driver and i'll never get rid off this car.

Thank you very much for the compliments. It took a lot of research, hard work, labor, and money to put everything together just for that custom rear setup. No regrets though.... no regrets.



P.S. - none of this would of been possible without VIPCLK320's help. He inspired me to spend money that i never had. HaHaHa!. i'm just kidding Ash. LoL.

Dude!! Your car is TIGHT!

It's a pity you didn't get VIPs front bumper. That together with a carbon front lip, (oh, and boot spoiler, Haha!) pure Black Series.

Your working on something new with Vip so I hope we get news soon.

Spending too much $$$ and having no regrets, is the beauty of doing a custom or any mod to our cars. If we didn't invest hard earned cash and passion into a project we wouldn't appreciate it. Our cars aren't cheap so to do anything to them you've got to love what you do.

Keep up the good work.

Here's the secret project that we had in mind...



in addition to your custom rear turbo setup, this thing is guaranteed to give you an extra 95+ RWHP / 140 lbs torque.

So what's up? you want in?

thank you. i made the bumper myself it's all factory real amg parts including the top w208 piece of the bumper and the bottom w209 63 bumper and all the grilles and lights. the cost of making it and the time is too much or i would have considered it, and i kindda like the idea that only i have it. but may be one day.

WOW!!! talk about a lot of effort. You could have bought them from VIS. Here is your front bumper and rear CF diffuser, or at least something very similar to yours.

CF Diffuser

CLK63 Front Bumper

Cheaper on Ebay.

Do your research before you speak on what choice he made the quality of the bumper he had is far superior to the fiberglass one you posted. Its all about being custom thats what this is about. I haven't seen that bumper on anybody's car but my bet is it fits like crap. Also his rear cover is fully custom not just a diffuser put on look at the sides of the bumper and the different shape of it.

I'm referring to the white one not the silver one. The white w208 has a amg or aftermarket amg bumper with a diffuser. I've seen the rear diffuser sitting at VIS and the quality is good, not sure if it fits well.

I found someone who purchased the VIS CLK63 bumper. I will post pics of the bumper before and after installation.
