I want to order a clk63 convertible front bumper. Any idea where I can get it ? Thank you

I assume you want to upgrade your CLK500's? You'll need the whole think - all grilles, fog lights, internal panels/foam etc. Your best bet would be to find one from a wreck. YOu could order all the parts new:

Some guy in a lifted pickup was trying to park and pulled my fender off with his tire . Everything is damaged . No frame damage or anything major but I need to replace it so I figured I upgrade. I am between the clk63 bumper or the black series body kit. The side body kit is about the same price as the bumper. Trying to see if anyone did any of these mods .

The OEM parts are expensive but the aftermarket parts all have fitment issues and end up being just as expensive probably. There is a YouTube video of some guys abroad that document the whole clk63 body kit conversion, it's a ton of work. Definitely a pick your poison situation unless insurance is covering it all!

I was thinking of doing the duraflex widebody kit but I wanted to see if anyone had put on the body kit and how durable it is when hitting pot holes or if someone taps the bumper. Its made of FPR and I see if anyone had experience with it compare to oem . The insurance company estimated the front bumper and all parts like grill etc and it costed more than the Dura flex body kit combined . Do you by any chance have a link to the video ?

@irokdastar What did you end up doing?

@Rudeney Thanks for posting this! The heading says, "2007 MERCEDES BENZ CLK 63 AMG®," and the site uses a stock C230 photo. All the parts say "W/O AMG PACKAGE." That right?

Rudeney

I'm not sure why it says "W/O AMG Package". What you'd need to do is find the VIN for a CLK63 and order the parts. They will send the correct ones. But before doing that, add up the price. You'd likely be able to sell your CLK500, buy a CLK63, and still have money left in your pocket compared to just buying all those bumper parts!

Rounding up, the parts total about $2,600. I'm not sure about having money left over if I sell my car and buy a CLK63. My car would go for $6,000 on a great day and I'd be lucky to find a MY2007 CLK63 AMG Cabriolet for less than $16,000.
I do however realize that it doesn't make financial sense unless I do all the work myself.

You can find it used, e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-2007-2...frcectupt=true not ideal, but still fixable, you'll have to paint new bumper anyway.
You can try to monitor ebay (configure a search) for some time and find all necessary parts, at least that what it do

Rudeney

Yeah, there's something wonky about that parts list and prices even though we selected "CLK63". I went into EPC and plugged in the VIn for an actual CLK63 to get some part numbers, like the bumper skin:

And further down the rabbit hole...

And it goes on from there. Here's the whole parts list:

If anyone is looking to do the conversion I have pretty much everything for sale used now
