Hmmm...Ok thanks for clarifying. Its just a bit curious to me b/c from a visual standpoint the 63 grill appears to have far more aggressive dimensions than the 55 grill. But admittedly I haven't compared the dimensions personally, just making my judgments off of pics, etc.

Not a bad design, but kind of like the grille, the fog lights look lost down there. Like they are just floating in a sea of mesh...

Couple questions for the OP

What material is the front bumber? Does it come pre-paint? Are the lower mesh grills come with the bumber? And any special introductory pricing? Thanks

Girard@ACGautomotive

The material is high grade FRP which is fiberglass with an extra flex compound added to it. Since it is a TUV approved part, the fitment and the overall quality is up there. All the parts come unpainted but prepped for paint.

As far as the pricing, it is very fair as is for what you get. You got a PM though.

like the front ...

pm me ... thx

mikeevo

what the price for just the front, shipped to 75801

Girard@ACGautomotive

You got it guys.

It seems as though the new front bumper design will allow a much bigger H/E over the stock bumper, can you confirm this?

Luke_M

That's kind of what I was getting at. I think Peter said they will know more once the bumper comes in. The customers car has a bigger H/E right now.

whats the price of the kit as a whole, and price of individual pieces?

mikey33

The price for the pieces is on the first page.

Damn Luke, I should read a little more before posting!

group buy?

DmanRox

Correct! I just got back from ACG, spending the whole morning with James working on my E. He stated that next week his customer with a Silver E is coming in to "get fitted".

Here is the writeup on the older style front bumper with larger sarking sensors strips.

Does this bumper work with distronic and parktronic, and have cut outs for the head light washers? If not what would you need to make it work?

Girard@ACGautomotive

It should work with both. Prior Design is getting me the instruction on how to do it from Germany.

The first pic shows Parking sensors and Headlamp washers. I love this front bumper.. F^$& now I will spend MORE money

Peter, when is the "fitting".. I want to come see!

Bramage

Peter- One more question. The Estate version seems to be rounded at the top of the center grille area. On the Sedan version, it looks like that area is more stright angles. Also, on the Estate version, the vents on the side are boxed in and on the sedan they are just insert into the panel.

I saw the siver car (Sedan) that you guys did, but it looks like he got the Estate version installed. Am I correct in these statements?

I like the Sedan version - If the center grille tip is angles, and not rounded and also like the vents better. Let me know.

(PS- Car is great since the work you did!!!)

Girard@ACGautomotive

thanks! Your observations are correct. We installed the estate version on the silver car. They are completely different looking bumpers but they both work on a pre-facelift e55. The grille area and the side vents are different on the sedan version but the bumpers work on both sedan and the wagon.

We actually have the sedan version of the bumper available so if you decide to go with it, we can get it right-away.

Im kinda torn, I love that its more agressive but seems abit took boxy for the E *shrug* maybe its just me

Bramage

Group Buy- Front bumper only!!

I will swing by and check out the sedan version. I think in the sedan pics, the high gloss black car under intense lighting makes it difficult to see and feel the angles. I think it would look great with a contrast.. like the silver car. Be by soon.

DBrasco

Im on the fence about that too. Maybe if it had the 63 grill with a more aggressive line it might flow together better.

Peter- does the grill have the option of no fogs? Kind of like the Brabus rocket front for the CLS?

Bramage

So the hood is the same on facelift, and the E63 grille simply goes a little deeper into the front bumper. Seems like this would be a semi easy modification for Prior, and could replace (or borrow market share) from the Facelift option.

If I did this, I would probably lightly tint the fogs to make them disappear when off.

Girard@ACGautomotive

I still have them in stock. Any takers? I can do slightly lower pricing on the bumpers. there is not need for a group-buy.

I think we can get you the grilles with no fog cutouts. its not a huge deal.

I would certainly do that as well. thiose fogs pop too much on a black grille background.
