Hi
brief history a Bambi Deer , trashed my grill and a bumper cowl On my CL500. The bumper is now discontinued!
Dave who has a 2009 CL500 with the AMG bodykit has very kindly helped me . Luckily there are AMG bumpers for this and should fit, However we are struggling with finding the Foglamp cowls, and one mesh grill.
Hence I looked at the CL63 AMG,
This has a slightly different bumper , like this :-
I need a vin number so I can compare the actual grill, black trims, parking sensors, fog lamps & cowls, no.plate support, crash support brackets and 3x shock absorber bars behind the bumper to ensure it can be swapped over / replaced.
And also check if the bumper and the fog lamps ( which are again different ) are still available.
Happy to have that FIN WDD No. sent to me by direct mail if you want
Q. Are the side vents cosmetic or do they let in air, and water ref possible water protection panels? I.e. would I need to buy these.
There are quite a lot of bits behind this bumper and grill cowl!
Or even a reg. No. So I can be sure they will fit.
I think this 63 AMG version might suit my car better, to blend in.
This picture is the CL 500 upgrade AMG body kit.
Any help much appreciated.
thanks Peter
