Well it is a PERFEKT copy in the same material as the original so no difference at all from the original. It is no cheap fiberglas copy.

Mine is a copy bumper for my e55 wagon in plastic not fiber glass but I can't seem to fit a carbon lip as the bottom is a little different, all the rest is perfect.

The E55 is made a bit different with the vents on the sides.

Great rebuild .. fantastic, when I saw the car at the first photos I said to myself "It will need a lot of time, efforts, and money"

How much did it cost in USD?

Man, I have to say that I couldn't adore you more after watching your E55 and S50 projects. Hell of a fantastic job! You're really gifted. How much does it cost you? Do you have any suggestions on changing a 2009 CL65's look into a 2011's? Seems the door mirror, front bumper and the headlight need to be replaced. Thanks a lot.

Wow, what a huge undertaking. I see you had some extra silver paint from your house that you used on your car !!! House and car match great !!
How long did it take from start to finish?
End result was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Where did you get that third brakelight from? Maybe you could send me a link. Thanks
