E63 Front Bumper Installed

I really wanted to do this mod before i even had the car, lol. I overall like how it came out bottom part like other afternarket is not short were the heat exchanger is exposed and fits
around the lights nicely with no gaps. Paint came out ok as well just one minor spot not very happy with but its not very noticable unless you know where to look. Trying to pull the hood latch from the grill hole takes a bit to get use to now i know why that hole in top right corner of the mercedes emblem is for, lol. I have tape around the fog light chrome bezels because they are not meant to go with these fog lights so tabs had to get broken and glued to the fog lights. Why there not correct bezels not sure either way there on. I put a couple of more pics after pulling the tape of the fog lamps top 2 pics are most up to date, needs a wash.

I had them on mine for awhile. I liked it at first but hated it after a few weeks and ended up removing the film eventually.

[QUOTE=Strigoi;7457081]Now it just needs a Godhand lip on it.

Love to get the lip but I would hate to scrape that getting in and out of driveways. I'm 80/20 on it thought lol it looks nice, once I'm done with the IC Pump and 83mm pulley ill go back to doing the lip. I still gotta send out my TCU to Eurocharged and get my ECU and TCU tune back, just hard to find the time.

But it looks niceee..........

The car and bumper look great. I'm not a fan of the yellow city lights or the grill but to each they're own.

Removing the TCU is a cake walk and the turn around at eurocharged is less than a week. The tune really wakes up that old 5sp.

I was very impressed with the results.

I'm lowered and don't have too many issues with it scraping if I'm being careful. With that being said, mine is scraped to **** on the underside. There are some driveways that I just can't get in/out of without scraping, even with the car in raised mode.

Worst case if it ends up looking too bad I'll just buy a new lip for it. They aren't that expensive.

looks good. If and when I decide to start modding my car, the front bumper is one of the things I would like to do. not sold on the grill though...
