The E63 bumper have the headlights washers + parktronic, so I have to send this to a bumper shop... they fill the holes, remove the paint, prime, paint, clear coat... same thing with the side mirrors....Excellent job !! also let me take some pictures for the record + check the quality of the products they use...

Just in case you didn't know, the E63 bumper cover is available without Parktronic and Headlight washers. I posted the part number for this on my conversion thread recently:

has anyone transplanted parktronic when doing the conversion. I'm wondering if i could just put the sensors in the mesh as i have an e55 with parktronic and don't want to give it up.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Certainly looks sharp.
Nice work, the updated look is better.
And as Blacksport said, don't worry about painted hood affecting value - Just document process with a few pics.

You have a very unique tag, it is all white and just says california as the state residency, that is a sleeper my friends.
All jokes aside, she looks very clean and tastefully modded. Mad props, now slam that thing.
