Double check your build sheet but just because you selected the CF trim does not mean you get the CF wheel.

yah doesnt look like the 550 wheels have that option.

Much better! I plan to do the same with mine as well, along with the Star on the cover.

The bull bar removal is next up. I can see that the cover is black behind the bull bar for some reason

My plan as well...just need to figure out how to cover the holes in the bumper. And $300 for painting the spare tire cover was a good deal!

yeah i guess so. The ring is removable and they took the cover plate as a swatch to match that diamond white color code. Cant believe MB charges 1500.00 for that option. smh

Looks very nice. We don't get these interior colorways in the UK.

Removed Bull Bar today. The front bumper covers should be here by Thursday. Will post pictures then. Ordered them from gwagonparts.com at 172.00. If it looks like crap, it'll just be a 172.00 mistake that ill have to eat. https://www.gwagenparts.com/product/...rushed-silver/

The holes are different on the G63 vs the G550?

Yes, different bars, and as of now there are no covers for the hole on G550 bumpers.

I'm curious how you got the bull bar caps to stay on securely. Mine rattle and seem like they will pop off on rough roads. Did you use double stick tape?

thx

I’m in the same boat so if/when the covers fall off I’ll reinstall my Bar. Those covers are about 3mm too short on the sides 🤦🏾‍♂️

We really need someone with a 3D printer to make us sets for both the G63 and G550 bumpers! They could have enough overlap to use the thinnest 3M tape to affix them and get Eric at bumperplugs.com (or someone else) to paint them to match.

Thanks, I heard the same from a few people that I found online and they wanted anywhere from $150-250 to create the file; however, without a G it would be impossible to give them what they needed to create the file and additionally I am not sure what the design should look like. I'll probably wait until I get it and see the holes before I can figure out what I can come up with, and if I do I will keep you in mind!
