C63 look bumper?
Any experience or extra info about these C63-look bumpers made by Duraflex:
http://www.carid.com/2001-mercedes-c...t-1502437.html
I have searched for a long time an upgraded bumper for my convertible. I hate original w208 AMG-bumper. I have looked those VIPclk320 made new AMG-bumpers and similar ones made by German Göckel and AC automobile as well as Seker but something has always been missing. This C63-look bumper looks quite good but that is all I know about it...

I saw these pop up on ebay last week. I like them but i think they would look better without the side vents...i don't think those vents compliment the W208 body style. If the bumper was shaved on the side it would look dope.

99CLK320,
I like the back and the side skirts but the front is over done and completely impractical. the second front pic w/black grill, for a show car it would be fine but for everday driving....the first time you forget how low it is.......trash

C63 ED Bumper
I purchased the bumper but did not keep it.
Required a solid 500$ to fit it, before paint.
-Front sits way too low
-Not exactly like the picture but pretty close
I saw pictures of it custom fitted and its pretty Bad *** however the Vents are overkill and like I said, it hangs too low.
The VIS is by far the best looking one for an Aftermarket buy however quality and fitment is still an issue. If you have the time and money or know how to do it yourself than it is definitely worth it.
Ash's Bumpers are obviously the best ones you can find, but He does not make them anymore.
Hers a pic of the raw bumper.

It "may or may NOT" fit and "WILL or will not" REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS to PROPERLY fit. End of story. The choice is yours...I have the VIS C63 Front end it required modification, i speak from experience, I as a shop would charge around 500 to fit the VIS its a PITA and honestly not worth my time unless I am making 100 an hour LOL

Not to burst your bubble or anything... but don't be fooled by photoshop. There are a few exact pictures of that car with different names/companies on the plates and with different backgrounds.
The actual bumper itself doesn't fit that well as shown on the picture.
As you mentioned, the brakes look small. Only because those aren't real brakes. they were photoshopped in there as well. Real 6-pot calipers and matching rotors would actually fill in the space a lot more.
Just thought i'd chime in so that you can do more research prior to spending any money. I went to Extreme Dimensions in person to check out the bumper, fitment is a bit off. (as others have mentioned).
