AMG update Bumper coming to US!

So my AMG 430 front bumper finally ripped out! destroyed.

So now I have a line on the updated AMG bumper for w208, anyone else interested??

this is shipping from Europe to the US, so dont expect pricing anywhere near the Duraflex bumpers, but less than the Carlsonn replica

its high quality fiberglass, and will require finesse by the body-shop when fitting, but alas, here is a pic of the final product installed.
it looks nice with out the foglamps!

Im going to need a bumper as well. I just got my car from out of state and while shipping the car the carrier company ripped the bottom of the bumper. So yeah, I am going to need to fix it so why not upgrade. What is the price?

just make sure your body shop is able to do custom work. If you take a careful look at the silver CLK above, you'll see that the bumper does NOT have a perfect fit around the headlights. Also, the paint on the bumper does NOT match the paint on the fender or hood.

It will be easier for your body shop to chop your OEM bumper in 1/2, and chop this aftermarket one in 1/2 and mold them together. That way you get the OEM fitment around the headlights =)

that's what I did w/ my custom bumpers. I chopped up mine and a C32's and molded them front and back. Had them on my car for over a year and a 1/2 now.

Yeah, I noticed the fitment as well and the different tone of silver. My body guy is pretty good and actually makes body kits for various cars when he's not busy. Im positive he can do the job its just that hes always busy.

OPALw208: yeah that pic is from a car done in Australia.
Aged Silver metallic paint can be challenging to match exactly..
How does one mold Fiberglass onto the Urethane top? rivets and bondo-filler?

I'm interested but how do you cut it in the middle and mold it without a visible line?

If you're talking about the factory bumper for $795.00, that is the retail dealer price. I live in L.A. and that is what their going for. It takes a couple of days to order but thats about it.
