06 CLK500/55 has new AMG front bumper
this might be old news to everyone, but I just went to dealership to service my sister's CLK and saw the 06 CLK500. It has a completely new front AMG bumper than previous cars. I thought only the 320 would get a face lift.

here's a pic from mbusa
you can see there's now a silver trim around the foglight. The mesh surrounding the fogs are now plastic instead of real wire mesh.

Alsp note that the bottom edge has a more pronounced "point" than the previous one, and the center section also juts forward more, like the CL55. You really can't tell so much from that picture, but if you see it from a front 3/4 view, it's much more obvious, and damn sharp. It bums me out as I just got a Brabus K8 front bumper cover not too long ago, and I'd rather have the 06 AMG piece...
Best regards,
Matt

CLK 500
just ordered a trunk lid spoiler for my 209 and need to put it on. The double sided tape needs to be reapplied as well since the spoiler is "used" sort of speak.

p.s. spray some Windex/Water solution on the surface of the trunk so you can adjust the spoiler incase you mess up. keep the car in the garage for 24hrs to allow the windex solution between the tape and the trunk to dry.
good luck with the project

Hi Frank,
Where can one buy the new bumper? Around how much is it?
