Hi ap, do you happen to know who makes the front lower bumper?

ap10046

Yes. It is a "CLS Black Series" Bumper.
I have seen them on an aftermarket bodykit site. I will try and get you the link

Also, Prior Designs front bumper from their widebody kit is similar looking.

Thanks AP, it was killing me, i was scouring the web aimlessly looking for it
I saw PDs bumper but there are subtle differences, I like CDWs better

About the front bumper...well I dont like any front bumper on the market (just the prior design one, but too expensive for me)..so, I will build my own, like I did on the rear. the rear was build with parts of the W212 E63 facelift rear bumper..

The front one will be build with SL amg, R231 bumper, that I allready have. I just need to buy one OEM w219 front bumper, then cut and weld the two halfs (like I did at the rear)

You could also try and use the CLS upper part and the W204 Black Series lower.

BTW, did you manage to make the grill fit?
May I request you for a picture and what you did please?

Thank you

Ap10046, yes w204 was also an option for me, but when I check the dimensions I gived up, because is too small, CLS is a lot wider :/

About the front grill, i give up because it was too close from the hood. About that, last month I found a new grill, based on new Mercedes, that I really like it. In future is something that I want to test. Here is the link:
