Hi all - quick question.
is it ok to add a brush guard for a 2021 G63 that came without one from the factory?

 

Very easily, yes.
Its funny, people in the states pay to get them removed and here in Canada I have to pay to have it as an option.

 

Yes, Very easy. 2 bolts and that's it =)

 

appreciate the replies guys!
read somewhere that the parking sensors or something is different when it comes without the brush guard; is it true? hope everything works fine when I add one :-)

 

That is false and wouldn't even make sense from a manufacturing perspective as they would have to produce 2 different types of G63 with differing sensor placements just to accommodate a brush guard.

 

Nope. The US G550 has no forward camera because of the brush guard, but the G 63's guard is much lower.

 

this project has been nothing short of a nightmare so far. I was able to get all the OEM parts finally but what baffles me is, this is how it looks under the trim piece (the bumper cover). does that plastic part with the two holes have to be cut? because it looks like it is attached to the G63 bumper itself.


 

I was exactly there I have to order parts multiple times because every time I forget to order something. European Gs have different beam in the front without the holes to the bumper so you have to order them as well. Also when everything is in place you will find out you forgot to order the part which hides the gap between the car and the bumper. Exactly as you stated headache

 

true!
I got to learn a ton of things during this process though!
they make two different type of bumpers for the G63 alone.
when you do not opt for the brush guard at the time of configuring your vehicle, the bumper comes with 2 holes on each side, in the area where the brush guard is mounted to the vehicle (don't know what purpose the holes serve, since that portion is again covered by a trim piece). for the ones that come with the brush guard from the factory those come with a vertical slot with a separate cover (to cover the gap between the bumper and the brush guard mounts), like you said a lot of pieces that you need to buy separately. the pain was mostly dealing with the parts and service centers who are not aware, in addition to the manuals that are also misleading. trying to search for parts with the VIN was also not getting us anywhere.

 

It should fit just fine, just like it had come from the factory with it.

 

Hey there
Do you remember the parts list you had to buy?

 

sorry for the late response
no i don't have them handy
this search can guide you - https://mercedes-benz.oempartsonline...nt-brush-guard
most of the parts are listed here. will also need a crash guard
you can also chat with the mercteil team

 

Are you talking about the compensator 463-887-32-00 ?

 

Hi all, here is the dilemma
I put everything together and it comes short. the only piece that I did not have is the compensator mentioned above. What am i missing ? Is it only because of the compensator ? @RedPill @OJ-G63

 

I have the satin chrome color bumper guard on my g63. Was wanting to blac out that and the spare tire ring. Amy I better off trading for someone who has black but wants satin chrome, or is the a good source for oem replacements that would be easier than painting?

 

I used to buy parts from mercteil; but not sure why it says domain has expired when I went to the site today. if you find replacements good, if not you can paint the bumper part pieces; usually hold good for a year after which bug splats and car washes will eventually wear the paint off. the chrome finish doesn't really let the paint stick very well. as for the spare tire ring, powder coating works but same thing there too doesn't last very long.

 

Rosie39j,

It may be easier to get it Powder Coated. Most everyone likes Black Brush Guard. You may have hard time finding someone who wants to replace with what you have.
