My E55 to E63 front end conversion + extras
After buying another '06 E55 AMG last year, I have been slowly modding the interior / exterior to update the look of the car. After getting rid of my E92 M3 (wife didn't like the harsh ride), I started to pick up more pace on modding the E55. Last week, I took her in for the E63 front bumper conversion. It took about a week for the entire conversion and we did the following:

E63 AMG front bumper conversion
WALD LED day light kit
God Hand High Class FRP front lip

Here is the end result:




















Day Light Shots








We tackled the wiring of the day lights today and they were very easy to wire in. However, we do not have the right resistor for the fog lights to avoid them from throwing a bulb out code.

As stated before, your E63 conversion owns all.

member Jspam1990 did it here (although not with the WALD kit) and personally I think it looks a little bit much in the area. I think it should be one or the other.

This is the picture from his build thread
