So mid way through install... and one of the window washer flaps that came with the bumper seems to stick (very tight fit on top). Do you guys have this as well? Any tips to ensure proper fitment of these?

For the lower center mesh do you leave this side plastic on? Maybe a dumb question, but not sure if its indented to stay on or not.

Here are a couple pics on what I am talking about:

cool - i kept it on as well. I may post some pics of my install cause it may be helpful for others looking to do this upgrade. The hardest part for me was getting those "clamps" on that hold the bumper trim on the sides. Outside of that it want too hard.

Also for those that have questions on the parts. Make sure you get all three of the pastic supports, as well as the lower side supports. Also at min I think it is required to get the middle new absorber.

Yes, but you don't see them. You can always cut the zips ties out and replace with something else if they bother you that much.

I just got this bumper and I want to put in HID's for the fogs. Looks like the bumper comes with H7s bulbs. What did you guys do? Buy a H7 kit then just cut the oem harness and get h7 harness? Also any problems with error codes and what kits did you guys get.

Any help would be great since I'm doing the install this week.

Waiting on my bumper, but pretty sure there are h11 bulbs and you can just order a plug & play hid kit (h11)
When I put the fog hid kit in my w210 the ESP/BAS lights came on dash when first installed but went away after about 2-3 mins of driving. Good luck

I spent the extra money and bought a CAN/BUS compatible HID (H7) kit.. It works if I apply 12V direct, but will not even flicker when connected to car.

The ECU says F^CK OFF


I did not try the bulbs in the housing since the kit became a paperweight, but I am curious:

What are others doing? Who has this working? I know there are bulb adapters and HID kits that work, but taking the guess work out would be AWESOME....

Spoke to Gary on the phone and was told there H11, as my oem fogs are (cornering fog lamps) but I guess I won't be sure until I receive the bumper cover.
I will update!!!

2004 Mercedes Benz E500
2004 E500 w/ E63 conversion

Purchased my 2004 E500 w/ AMG package that had been wrecked(looks much worse than it really was, no frame damage just body parts)
Repaired, and used Gary's E63 front end conversion. I was very pleased with the results and think it turned out great. Let me know what you guys think, thank you. Btw, just so nobody judges that I'm "spoiled", yes I am a 19 year old college student, and bought this and repaired completely on my own.
