LOL, thanks Gizzo, as you know i get bored quick.
Ok this bumper is officially up for grabs. asking price is $650 OBO plus actual shipping cost no markups here. the shipping time will be one and a half week from monday which is when i will be back in town. First come first serve. I require the buyer to send a $100 deposite through paypal to secure the sell for the buyer and the seller. as my reputation speaks for itself. The reason for the deposite is to close the auction and make sure nor I or the buyer gets screwed out of the deal. I will be accepting the deposite trough paylpal. Please PM me for paypal Info. There is absolutly no modifications required for installing this bumper it s plug and play because the top piece is off of the w208 CLK so it uses all your original hardware to install. again the bumper is all original AMG polyurithain both top and bottom and the part numbers are still there same thing withthe grilles all AMG genuine parts.
P.S the bumper also includes two new side grilles that have the chrome ring on them so you can mount fog lights if you like or use them as brake coolers. I will include them in the package.

Still waiting on more pictures to help me decide. I'm still highly interested so you know I'm seriously thinking of dropping the cash. Just need to see if there is another / cheaper shipping costing more than the product is cr8zy.

i sent you an e-mail check your pm. the first picture is so everyone can see how the side grilles look. because I have my plate on the bumper i had to black out the grilles. because these pictures were taken with the intent of finding best plate mounting location. the grilles are just like the forst picture with the chrome rings on them and you can mount the fog light of choice on them.

With that EURO bumper....what do you do about the fog light problem? There are no aftermarket foglights for them and they cost more then the bumper for the foglights that fit it. I put this bumper on my car because I the pic they had on their website shows my 430clk bumper on it and I mistakenly thought that was what I was getting. Its a nice bumper but foglights AND side flashers do not go on....PLUS you have holes where "parking sensors" are suppose to go, which of course the w208 do not have.

The bumper that you see in the picture belongs to a good friend of mine now, he is the new owner of it. but its not the VIS bumper, I made the above bumper myself and it is all genuine AMG parts no fiberglass. its all urethne. so all the grilles and fog lights are plug and play as they are from the factory. it's a mixture of two mercedes AMG bumpers but the VIS one looks very similar because they used my bumper as base, this is the second bumper VIS is copying off of me because the first one was the one that i made 3 years ago from the w209 55 bumper and the w208 top piece, I make them and they replicate them but the problem with theirs is that its fiberglass and also fitment is never perfect on fiberglass. but the ones you see in the pictures of my car on the fourms are all oem parts so fitment is 100%. hope that answered your questions, feel free to pm me if you need more details. and by the way I dont want people to get the idea that i'm upset at VIS for copying my bumper because i'm not at all, the two owners have been very good friends of mine for about 13 years and i know them very well and they've had my OK to produce these bumpers and off course add a little vis touch to them. their carbon fiber hood is also off of mine as my hood was used for the mold about 6 years back and i just got tired of the hood and sold it about 4 years ago to another member here.

whatsup brother. those things are very time consumig, but pm me with what you setup you want and we'll see if we can work something out, but just a heads up it wont be cheap, its a lot of part sourcing and oem parts are expensive and the labor is very intensive. but for the right price everything can be done.

i tried getting that a while ago and after about 3 months got my hands on one from my friend who is the owner of VIS andthe fitment was horrible so they decided not to make them anymore, this was a duplication of my bumper. all the sellers that you see on ebay just post them and once you buy it and pay for it they will refund you in 3 days saying they dont have it in stock, it seems to be the new scam on ebay to try and do the bait and switch game buy offering you to send you another bumper instead and give you a discounted price for your inconvinience. call the seller and you will see that they will tell you after you pay they will order it and let you know and then they say they couldnt get it. sorry to be the messanger of bad news but just trying to save you some time and headache.
