CLS 550
Plug

So how do I go about getting this front bumper assembly from your plug? I’m just looking to update the front right now

1000% correct. I agree with you. What's worse is the 2019 models. They all look the same. CLS and CLA are the same looking car with a longer base

WOW!!! that looks incredible. i have a question....why didnt you use the gloss wrap from the steering wheel on the dash parts? i was going to do my dash...even ordered the wrap...but i decided it against it because it didnt have the gloss or depth. your steering wheel DEFINITELY does. secret?

Thankyou! This was my first time wrapping but I didn’t want to go with the gloss wrap because it looks terrible! Nothing like the real thing you know! The Matt finish had more depth for a vinyl wrap! Also my steering wheel is real carbon fiber! I had it made! Still thinking about the other pieces to get done with real carbon but for now I’m satisfied with the outcome! I’ll send you info for the steering wheel!

ok, gotcha. i thought when you wrote 'sanding steering for wrap' that you were wrapping it, as well. in which case....that wouldve been the most epic wrap i've ever seen. it all looks dope, Brother. you've really made me reconsider the dash wrap. you've completely transformed your car!

Yea I can see how it came off as if I did it lol! I only did the interior trim vinyl.. But yea, the supplier kept me updated every time they modified the steering wheel with pictures! They did it for a really good price too & they also provided the steering wheel!

Hi am in the process of doing a conversation of my 2014 to a 2015-2018 all thanks to you and others who took the brave step.
my question is what other assembly components do I need to have a successful and smooth conversation.
I have the 2016 bumper and all the components from my 2014 car, do I need to change the bumper components.

no you do not! It’s a direct fit! The only thing you will need is the 2015-17 exo-skeleton!

Really appreciate you prompt response.
when you said exo-skeleton do you mean the 2015-2017 bumper skeleton?
and what happens to the washers. And let assume you block them off, do they come up with warning.
The thing is how do you navigate all those little stuffs.

Hello 318southernboi. I have a 2012 CLS 63 amg and I want to upgrade to the 2015-2017 front grill, front and rear bumpers and the side skirts. Could you please send me the links/ phone numbers/ websites to all the places you got your parts and work done at? Thank you

I have a 2012 cls 550 as well, I want to do this. If I’m correct you ordered all your parts from the dealer? And how much did it cost roughly?

I notice you have all season floor mats. How do they look in real life? Where did you get it? I have base color interior, get dirty easily. Thanks.
