Lightbulb Instructions to take off front bumper S63

Hi guys,

does anyone have the instructions on how to take off the front bumper on a 2015 S63 Coupe? I would like to swap my grille for a facelift version, and I guess I will have to take off the bumper for that.

Thanks!

I`ve tried the WIS, but it seems to be quite complicated to get it installed on a regular computer, let alone a mac. Any chance one of you guys could please PM me the instructions? Would be super nice

Take it to a regular $40 an hour body shop and you’ll probably be way ahead. Been there done similar and its not worth the frustration and little broken parts you are left with.


But my main question is where did you get the grill and what do you think about it?

Hows the quality on it (prior to install I know) but does it feel nice and built well?


I see they ship from China (not saying that is bad necessarily).

Yes, it does feel built very well. Not OEM quality of course, but looks really good.

So did they do the 18-20 bumper trim and other trim in Aluminum and the grill in chrome? I guess the aluminum is polished..

I like the car as is but need to paint the bumper anyway. It blends in with all the other regular Mercs. On the fence messing with a specialty car.

Yes understand. The brightness can be different though.

Is that how the 18+ cars are?
