Hi guys,

I am going to bring some the E63 replica body kits w/ the LED DRL. What do you guys think? How many of you have parking sensors?







The price will be roughly $690 shipped for the front bumper, $325 shipped for the side skirts and $620 shipped for the rear bumper. What do you guys think?

Only MBs - the best or nothing
Perrsonally, I like sport bumpers more (yes more) than E63's, but would be very interested in carbon fiber front lip spoiler for stock sport bumper. Are there any plans for that? Or will W212 be treated same as W211 (2007-2009) - no front lip spoiler for sport ("AMG", but non E63) front bumper?

Ditto...nobody makes one for under $1000 as of yet. As soon as there is one available at a reasonable price, i'm 100% in.

+1. I would jump all over a cf front lip and even a diffuser. A simple one for that matter.

I'm not liking any of the aftermarket ones for the w212 e63. I would love one that just flows with the bumper lines like the euroteck w211 e63 has.

I dunno about a front lip, but a nice diffuser with some mellow fins
would be nice for these cars......I have one on my 63 (vorsteiner), but I'm sure it won't fit my 550......
so yeah, a diffuser would be sweet

Anything available would be nice. So I'm for it.

However, I'd probably never replace my own Benz bumper with an aftermarket one, and a lot of times fitment isn't as flawless. Still, I'd be all for the option of having it available and think that some would jump on it, so YES! Do it!

Also, I've already modified my front bumper the way I'm gonna keep it (by wrapping the front-middle lip), but I am SHOCKED that there are no lips or add-on modifications to the OEM Sport bumper, even though I personally wouldn't opt for one I don't think.

I agree about the Sport bumper looking better than the E63 bumper too.

If you check out the Suvneer thread on the E63 front end conversion in the W211 AMG section, you can see pics of the conversion and the rave reviews he's getting from other members of the forum.

Not sure if this conversion is done by the same company.

But +1 to Gary@Suvneer for all his work on the W211 E55s.

guys, i just installed the above E63 AMG full body kit this weekend, made in taiwan. i have to say, although the quality of this kit is better than most of the other car body kits you can find in the market, it's not perfect.

the rear bumper fits well. however, the side skirts are a bit short (by about an inch). the front bumper has terrible fit if you have intelligent headlights which has headlight washer. this body kit will need some work done to be close to a perfect fit.

just my 2 cents. buyers be aware.


oh, also, the front right LED daytime running light is DOA. the shop i ordered from is getting a new set delivered. in the mean time, my car goes out with only left side LED daytime running light... the past few days i went out is like a dog wearing the collar of shame..... bugs the crap out of me. hopefully i can get the new one installed this weekend.

i will get some photos up once i get my exhaust issues straightened out.

Hate to say it, but I knew this would be the case. Sorry to hear you have to deal with it.

If I'm paying a Premium on the sum of the parts that my car comes with, because of the company it's made from, I'm gonna avoid replacing my OEM parts.... especially those in critical areas of the car that require perfect fitment, with aftermarket parts.

But, maybe there will be buyers with better fit parts? Which would still mean that fitment will be inconsistent. Idk.

Just FYI... Might want to confirm if your Taiwan made product is the same as the one sold by Suvneer before berating Suvneer's product... Just because it looks the same... Doesnt mean it is the same...

polypropylene. From the same manufacturer who makes the W211 E63 conversion so I have high hopes.

I guess you really didn't read this thread as some have come to question your product...

Few questions for you to try to clear the air...

1. Did you sell this same product to forum member leapingpoint?
2. Is this product made in Taiwain?
3. Is this product made by the same manufacturer that did your E55-63 conversions?

Yeah, I know what I'm talking about... The photos up there have been used by vendors on chinese websitesfor about 6 months. Same exact photos.

Here is one for example: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13957540531

Thanks.

I'm an American living in Asia... I do business in both Taiwan and China so I keep a W211 in Taiwan (Taipei), and a W212 in China (Shanghai).

So... No I didnt get my E63 body kit from a forum member here. But the above photos have been around for quite some time, at least in Asia. I don't know Gary, and it's not my intention to say he's selling bad products (sorry). Before I ordered mine, I had high hopes too, I guess my expectations were a bit high.

Again, NO, I DIDN'T BUY IT FROM GARY.

I ordered it through a shop in Shanghai. This E63 body kit is made in Taiwan, right now this is the only aftermarket OEM kit available, no Cheaper Chinese version. There is an authentic E63 AMG version which costs about 5 times more, not including the side fenders.

I had my exhausted re-worked today, and the front right LED daytime running light replaced. I also re-checked the quality of this kit. Yes, the rear bumper fits well. Side skirts are half an inch too short (I stand corrected). Still, I don't think the front bumper fits too well.

However, I think the biggest problem is, when I removed the original front bumper, I had to also take out the foam that's used for impact absorbtion. The rep E63 front bumper didn't come with that, and the original one wouldn't fit.

Sports package isn't available in China, which is the main reason I got this kit.

CF front lip for the sport is not available yet. I plan to make one for the W212 E63 though. Is the bottom part of the both bumpers the same or no?

Just like for W211, W212 E63 and "AMG" sport bumpers have different bottom.

Gary, like I said a while back on W211 forum - there is a much bigger market for "AMG" sport bumper lip than for E63 one. I know there was non-sport bumper for W211 (both pre and post 2007 facelift), but not for sport with 2007 facelift (pre 2007 sport bumpers were same as E55).
