wtf is the matter with you? there is only 1 style of "other" front bumper to choose from, and that is the AMG sport bumper.

I like that "all air intake" look of the CTT. Wonder how close MLers could get to that?

i mean, there is none "buy off the shelve or online" kinds of front bumpers your looking for 
im sure you could pull the bumper of a porsche cayanne and modify it to fit the front of your M class.

"Special Cheer"? I reserve that for discussions of BIG BRAKES!!!
LOL!!
Naa, just trying to think outside of the box for a second. Consider this one ...
I like it anyway cause its de-badged. There are other sources than just Brabus for the grille insert. I'm thinking - modify the lower grille, using black billet steel, to be bigger. Keep my brushguard, and have grille showing where the tag is now, so that enlarged air intake is "framed" by the brushguard, and paint the bumper black.
Guess I have to take the bumper off and see what my options are ...
Trying to visualize a more CTT "all air intake" look for the W163 ...

the idea of a bigger front end opening seems cool, but i dont know how well the bumper is going to stay together when you cut it... let me know how it goes.
