I see you've got the E55 rear bumper, what AMG exhausts did you fit on? Are they just the eBay slip on ones?

Also is your roof painted or did you use a gloss vinyl?

Cheers

Looks good BTW

Yeah the both bumpers and the side skirts are from ebay, fiberglass. I hate it :/. I received the car that way. I dont mind the sideskirts or the rear bumper so much. But the front bumper is killin me. It cracks so easily, even if you even breathe wrong on it, it'll crack. Jk, but Im trying to buy Garys e63 front bumper kit made out of polypropelene.


The exhaust tips are from the brand silverline. My favorite aftermarket exhaust tip brand. They look really great when cleaned and polished. The car btw, is very dirty in the pics lol.

And the roof is painted gloss black. As well as the roof spoiler.

Cheers for the reply. Really Fibreglass? In Australia most of our aftermarket bumpers are made from PU material which is polyprop and id assume they'd come from the same supplier in China :S

Do you have any more closeups of the exhausts, i need to work out what im going to do when i finally get around to installing my E55 bumpers

Just one last question, where did you manage to find the facelift rear trunk lower flange? (with the long silver strip) I'm thinking about upgrading mine.

Cheers

Fiber glass is junk, they just break so easy, why don't you upgrade the E63 Bumper and this is much better material. For $540 shipped good deal! if you need to repaint the bumper why don't you just upgrade E63 bumper because FG paint will chip out again very soon.
