Gary,
I installed the bumper today. Was this supposed to come with mounting hardware for the foglights? I got clips for the mesh grill...but I have nothing for the lights...
Let me know, I'll pay for them and shipping if needed.
Thanks,
- Zishan

ALL,
I think I'm missing a reinforcement piece? I purchased these:
Item: body hardware, front bumper, bumper & components, center reinf 2007-09
Item: body hardware, front bumper, bumper & components, outer reinf 2007-09, w/E63 Left
Item: body hardware, front bumper, bumper & components, outer reinf 2007-09, w/E63 Right
But the side pieces did not extend down to bottom of the wheel well liner and so I'm unable to attach 2 push pins. It makes it seem like the bumper and fender liner aren't aligned perfectly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Zishan

The mesh grille comes w/ clips because they are special clips which can't be found at your local hardware store. The fog lights don't come w/ the screws because you can use the most common hardware. Homedepot will have them, buddy.Thanks.

What did you guys do for the headlight washer covers if your E55 does not have washers. I purchased the conversion but my E55 does not have the headlight washer option and the e63 bumper conversion i bought has the washer holes and plates.

I see two options here:
A.) Leave them be, and it will appear as if you have them with the E63 conversion bumper. You will just need to buy the springs, which take 2 seconds to install.
B.) Have your bodyshop cover them before painting. I can't see it costing very much as the triangle/cover pieces are already provided. Just needs a little filler. *my non-expertise opinion

Hey all, new to the site and this is my first post. A bunch of beautiful cars on the site. I've ordered my bumper from Gary and a new grill off of e-bay to give my 06 E-320 CDI a face lift after a little incident with a Bobcat bucket here on the farm. (ooops!) Great excuse to upgrade and cant wait. Will post pics of before and after. Gonna look sweeet! Gary, as well as all the posts on this thread were very helpful. I still have to order the "extras" not included with the bumper. I think I know what all I need to get and do, but insight from someone who has already done it is always welcome to make everything go smoothly.

2006 E-320 CDI
Okay, I'm on parts.com ordering the needed bracket. I've got a 06 E320. Question is: will my front tray cover work with the bumper without a space showing, if not what is it on parts.com. Also, I was pretty sure that I would need the energy absorbing foam blocks since the E320's is not even close to the E63AMG. For the Suvneer bumper do I get ones with sports package, or without? I'm seeing Right block,Left block, Inner right, Inner left??? Help!!! what do I need to get. Don't want any probems once I get the car to the bodyshop and I want it done the right way. Do I need parts 11-13 or 11-15, sport or not (my 06 is not a sport). Thanks for any help. This is my cart so far:

Bumper has been on for a few weeks. Weather in Tennessee has been pretty cold and rainy. Finally got a quick wash in today as the car was pretty dirty and snapped some pics before the rain comes in tomorrow. All I could do was a quick wash, no detailing, nothing spectacular, but I did want to post the car up on this thread. Bumper looks great. Looking at getting some black headlights maybe and will do a complete detail and better pics when the weather is better.

Bumper looks great... not feeling the front grill though. A oem one or gloss black without the star would look much cleaner IMO. (whatever you prefer though obviously since its your car).

Thanks, I know where you are coming from, but I'm a little tacky, and wanted to take a differant route since I saw quite a few on here with the "cleaner look". Might need no get rid of the hood ornament to avoid the double bling.

I think you coined a new term of the "double bling" for the duplicate Stars lol
I will refer to it as that from now on.
