Black CLK is not mine but another members who sold me the front bumper special thanks to him for the pics of how similar mine will look...note this bumper requires alot of work to properly fit. If i could do it again i would not buy it. id buy the regular c63 one without side vents from vis and add my own vents...

Nice and siclky, what a machine, I am inpressed.
What Drive ratio are you using? What compression ratio and fuel type?
Pump gas is lousy for blown and turbo engines. I love blowers but octane requirements are always dominant to prevent detonation.
Im all in

Cheers, Gator

I will get dimensions monday! I wonder if a W204 CF Lip will fit the VIS Bumper, guess we will find out as I ordered one today! Probably going to end up ordering the CF side vents too! I am also going to most likely upgrade my headlights to the ones listed below:

Can you tell us more about the paddle shifters retrofit? I'm especially interested because you managed to keep the stock steering wheel.

there is plenty of info on this in the forum and others, but i had ACG in New York install it for me. you can probably reach out to their San Diego shop to have them work on yours. let me know if you plan to do it yourself i can send you some info.
