What is the secret to switching the E55 for E63 hood latch pull? I feel like I am going to break the E55 one off trying to do the swap?
Thanks
Nevermind, I found it. Here is how you do it on a C Class. Same process

Normally I would test fit, but there were already many positive installs performed with this bumper before I installed mine so I just had it painted

That grill kinda looks like it was made outta tin foil. But if you like it who gives a 5h!t keep it on!! I like the idea of ditching the double bling

Always nice to know what someone really thinks, lol. The quality could be better, I'll admit. Tin foil though, is a little harsh. The good thing is it can easily be swapped out if I want to at some point and isn't as bad as spending 7k on a paint job you don't like or something. Your honest opinion is appreciated.

Long shot - but if any of you have extra parts from your conversion laying around, I'm looking for a driver's side [left side, here in the US] mesh fog light surround [for W211 E55 Bumper, 2005, no E63 conversion]. I figured this thread probably gets more play than the FS/WTB forum.

There is one used driver's side on ebay
listed at $155.
The rest when you plug in the part number have the wrong mesh pictured...and they're all $189.
Pelicanparts has them new for $204.50 which is what the dealer wants.

Yes but they don't have in stock. You have to order before you start the project. My car was stuck in the body for 1 week because dealer has to airship it from Germany..... I was going crazy but all turn out very nice !

Anybody else loose one of the plastic chrome rings around the fog lights yet? I just noticed one of mine is missing.

Guys - I gotta give Gary props because he deserves them for his service. While I'm not super duper psyched about the fact that the rings are just glued on (Gary didn't design this conversion I'm sure)...his customer service cannot be topped.
I notified Gary of my missing fog light trim on Sunday...I had the new trim piece along with the mesh for at my house in Atlanta on Wednesday.
That is top notch service that no one can argue with. Thank you Gary.
Now...If I can just figure out what adhesive to use to get them to stay on!!!! (my driver side one was on the verge of falling off too)

Bumper scrape earlier this week gave me the push to order the E63 bumper kit and CF lip from Gary today. Looking forward to install!
