- After the E63 Front conversation:
Question:
What others has done to hide the side maker parker light or if you removed the bulb. How are you dealing with the error message that bulb is out.

Rob
pull the bulbs and reprogram central gateway via SDS to "Rest of World" setting and it deletes the sidemarker lights. (no code and doesn't turn on)
Does anyone have any or know where i can get the chrome bezels around the fog lights for the 63 conversion? One fell off. If not, does anyone happen to know the correct part number for the driver side one? Thanks

Reason: to broaden the question to more people
to those who installed Suvneer's bumpers and have Parktronic, did you all let the body shop E55 sensors onto the E63 style bumper?
or can this be done DIY?
It can be done DIY, by either ripping off the parktronic sensor brackets from old bumper, and bonding them to new bumper. If you don't care about tearing up old bumper, this is ideal.
Otherwise you can use the stick on mount brackets in the conversion parts list, but they have to be cut up slightly otherwise the sensors won't fit flush. I used the stick on tape included with them, but it's not strong enough and the sensors will eventually get pushed out if something hard pushes on the sensors. (or when enough rain gets down inside and weakens the double side tape). One of my sensors fell out for the second time, so now I'm going to pull bumper (3rd time...) and use epoxy to bond them on.
Also the rubber washers that are normally on the sensors, won't fit unless you drill out the parktronic holes to be larger (E63 parktronic has smaller sensors).
I left the rubber washers out, but in hindsight I wish I drilled the holes out larger and done it properly.
It would be nice if these bumpers were custom made with the parktronic mounting hardware from the E55, as then none of this homemade madness would be needed.

Gator back on I24 W outside of Chattanooga took out most of my front bumper today (grilles, fog light) and smashed it up pretty good. Looks like I need another one and I need one without the parking sensor holes.

That is CRAZY! Sorry to hear that. No sensor bumpers are out of stock until April 24th. Thank you guys for your patience in advance!
These aren't 100% copies of them OEM are they? The OEM's chin is "fatter". The chin extends down towards the ground at a steeper angle if that makes sense. Check out the chin on this OEM bumper.
Am I mistaken here because I can certainly tell the difference between an OEM one and an aftermarket. Why don't they just make them the same??!!

I can get you the rear bumper for the wagon for a few bucks off at dealer but it will still be pretty pricey. I just sold one on eBay a couple months back after I repaired it. To bad you didn't post this then.

Sorry I was out for 2 weeks for business. My E63 bumper is 100% OEM spec. W/o parking sensor holes is out of stock for 5-6 weeks. With sensor holes are in stock
