The black area is CF. I actually like how the tips stick out more on this and the Ericsson bumper. The stock bumper with a diffuser made the tips look too tucked in.

BTW, nice RAC. ( I always wanted to say that.)


Cheers.

LOL, nice RAC(k).

Interesting, I like the rear much more than the front.

Why not Akrapovic?

Nothing really but just want to try something different if I were to replace the exhaust.

LOoks good so far Kev.. but geez, how could they forget to install the mesh!?! It's so obvious looking at the rear bumper .. and I like the front bumper but my eye keeps getting drawn to that angular gap where the bumper meets the fender.. otherwise the fit looks good.. even the air ducts line up pretty good

I guess you still need to find a comparable "Phil jr jr" out there

Ever consider that Challenge Cf trunk? that might really set your car off..

Might do the VARIS trunk instead to give it a little more JDM'ness.

pretty sure the title of the thread answers this question.

Car will be going back to stock temporarily while the vendor and RD Sport figure out the fitment and paint issues.

[calintexas]

Just what you'd expect a successful doctor to be driving.

not even finished with this project and yet you got a side project going LOL nice!

[Maseroche]

E55 is a bargain these days so good choice! Glad someone is stepping in to take care of that bad fitment. Hope it's a one off thing because that bumper is one of my favorites.

Nope, my fitment is a little off as well....
Maybe I need to call RDsport as well

[pumper206]

Kev, even tho you're having fitment issues, car still looks bad ass. When we gonna do the photoshoot ?! Hahaha! J/k, but not really . Anyways, car looks great! Can't wait to see it in person. How you feelin' bout the flash? Stage 1 or 2?

[calintexas]

Judging from photos, the gap between the hood and the top of the bumper seems to be critical. All the one's in the IND threads look good. TLuds also looks good.

My problem is more of the gap underneath the headlights. It's like they cut away too much material or the mold was off by just a little bit. There's just no way that my fitment is off due to improper mounting/fitting. So far everything else is exactly on point except for the gap between headlights and bumper. Granted (in the pictures) there's just a bit more play and we were able to push the bumper up to match 100% w/ fenders, the gaps were still quite apparent.

Time to call Sunil to get some things for the E55!

Congrats!

Hunter,

Thanks~ I'll be in touch for some Euro goodies for sure. I think the first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and warning triangle are needed for the 55

I also have some Euro mods coming from MBenzNL.

[lyjw88]

Kev,
I was wondering why you were lurking around MB forum lol

[Hunter399]

MBenzNL FTW

PS..I just ordered an E90 m3
