Merry XMas! The front end conversion looks great. I don't think you can tell the difference between yours and a actual 2014! Are you planing a update for the rear as well?

Man I hope Santa had a pair of headlights and front bumper for me lool

Something needs to be modded at the front,if you look inside the grill you will see a lot of silver parts and pipes,i will paint them black.

Yes,fully functional,the only thing that doesn't work is the TEMPOMAT and the HOLD option,but in the near future it will be possible to make this functions work,the guy from MB told me so.

Looks great Gav! I am afraid however that I have a problem with MBs' new styling. Aggressive? Without question. Do I love the lights and grill...YES! Here comes the BUT...I'm just not sure about about the lower bumper intakes. I'll need to see one in person to know. You probably own the most expensive E Coupe ever with all your mods. Enjoy your car!!

Second invoice from position 1to 9.

That's not too bad to be fair man price wise - works out at £5000 to me, great job on the conversion, you planning on doing any aftermarket mods to this bumper when they become available?

Did you get the PD hood? I can remember you saying you were thinking of ordering one

The PD hood has arrived but i will install it in January and of course i will do the first aftermarket mod as soon as it appears,i hate to have a front bumper without a lip to lower it.

Looks amazing. Here in Toronto I don't know of a good enough shop nor do I have the guts to attempt a conversion like that. Your car looked great before. It looks even better now. Congrats.

TEMPOMAT is the autopilot and HOLD function keeps your car in drive without holding the brake pedal.
