Do you have any pictures of the backside of the bumper cover? I'm wondering if it has any of the crash protection materials that are part of the factory front bumper assembly. Looks like it could be a cheap way to go to get most of the refreshed W211 E63 look.

You either buy the new e63 sensors with harnesses or transplant the old ones and find a way to attach them. I used an adhesive bonding glue, but it was a PITA!

The E63 bumper has integrated impact strips. So you cannot use your E55 impact strips.

Gary's bumper is already the Euro style so it does not have the side marker lights.

This.. No side markers, which I like..

How easy is the filling of the parktronic holes?

Looks absolutely fantastic! After lookin at the first set of pics, I was worried that the tow hook cover was molded into the bumper but after seeing the completed pics, I see that's not the case...

Thanks Everyone!!

As far as fittment:
I went off Mikey33's Parts list. The parktronic sensors were time consuming but easy. I had to trim the updated sensor "brackets" to fit and used the double sided tape that they came with. The Impact pieces all fit great I had to trim the pass side one to clear a bit.

I think a DEEP Black with gloss a finish will be Make sure you have cialis handy too bro, and lay off punching the clown for a while, as this car is going to be dropping panty's, and you are going to need all the oysters present when it happens
