which one did you buy? where? how much? was it hard to install since its not meant for the 320? and did you need to put screws in it?

and did you paint that lower grill or wrap it?

lol going to be doing this. looks hot! good work!

The car looks great! Definitely a transformation for the 320 bumper.

thanks for the comments guys
the cf lip I bought from Gary@suvner. M-benz told me that it needs a little push and adjustment to do it. But surprisingly I just install it directly and put the bolts on. Overall the fitment is 7.5/10, considering its for the AMG bumper its good enough. Theres a very little gap on each sides but the front looks ok. Maybe I will post picture of the gap tomorrow. In the end I am very happy with the results

Is the lower grill wrapped or painted? Also, is that the same lip for an AMG bumper? I'd like to put one on, but I didn't think it would be the correct fit.

I wouldn't say they are that non aggressive looking in comparison. The 500 is much cleaner looking.

hah especially the 320 bumper rly has a smile on its face. Good job on blacking out the middle plastic part M_L and adding the lip looks great now.

Try playing with blacking out some part of the bumper and see how it turns out it might look good

Yup very small gap on one side. You get to chose the side lol...

It does make a big difference on the 350 bumper.

it made me stop looking for an AMG front bumper but really do want a AMG rear one to flow with the quads and diffuser

Here is the link for it. If you ask they will knock off like $30 for you
