Swung by the paint shop where I get my cars painted today to pick up my e55 after some facelifting! Had them install the facelifted trunk panel, facelifted wing mirrors, and the incredibly sexy e63 front end!

I ordered both silver and black trim pieces for the mirror by accident, and they put on the black ones, which I will be swapping out.

I also had them wrap the bottom of the bumper in matte black after seeing how good it looked on JSpam1990's e63 conversion thread!

I was extremely hungover this morning so the pics don't look that great, I will upload some good ones when I take them with my good camera.

Also is there a market for any of the old e55 parts? I have the trunk panel. full mirrors, and front bumper / grille.

In the first few pics the front center grille isn't on due to wanting to wrap the bottom before putting on the grille, so it integrated seamlessly.

Hmm, I like that black on the bumper w/pano roof..

Looking good.

Need to see it from further away, not feelin' the wrap yet. Otherwise, looks good. Love the wheels.

Looking sick bro

tgoss

Very nice brotha!!! When are your wheels landing?

tbal

Looks good!

alltrac

what side view mirrors are those? Is that just a bolt on affair...I want

tgoss

They are factory E63 Mirrors I believe.

Andy, you need to get E63 tails and a E63 trunk spoiler to finish it all out.

I love the E63 front end...I just can't justify the cost. I think I'll just end up with a lip for my 55K.

Facelift side mirrors

I like it better without the blacked out front.

i like the added black with the pano +++++

Best visual mod for the E55 Looks great, I for one like the black strip on the bumper, makes it look like the new AMG's and is a nice match with your pano Also get the e63 spoiler asap, trunk looks naked without it!

slownrusty

Wow..that does look great.

I have a 63 spoiler lying around if u need.

Alps

looking good, not sure about the wrap tho.

E63 nose conversion FTW

Have never felt the new style trunk panel, though; still prefer the E55 styling on that. Definitely get the E63 rear trunk spoiler.

Thanks very much man! I think the black just gives it a little more aggressive feel.

Will get some better pics today from further away!

Thanks man!

Hopefully very soon! Can't wait for them to be in! I want to get the car wrapped already!

Thanks very much!

They are the 07+ facelifted mirrors. Apparently they were kind of a ***** to put on, have to drill holes etc, but I think they're completely worth it, I love the look of not having mickey mouse ears!

Yessir! I'm 50/50 on the tails, I don't know if I like them more than the e55 ones. The trunk spoiler i definitely need!

It wasn't too much when all ordered not directly from MB (still all OEM parts), but yeah you could get longtubes or pulley/tune/HE/pump for the same cost.



That's cool. It's why I had it wrapped not painted, so if I got tired of it I could just peel it off down the road!

Thanks man! I think it adds just enough to it to make it look even sportier

Appreciate it dude! Yeah that's what I was thinking, like the new SL63s or whatever! And definitely need to get a new trunk spoiler!

Thank you sir!

Really? Details? I will PM you! Thank you!

Thanks man! It's all good!

Thank you very much! I was on the wall about the trunk conversion, but I just think it updates it. Stupid thing has euro license plate style holes on it though, so I have to buy a bracket for the plate to fit! Annoying!!

Definitely need the trunk spoiler!

saleen01

looks great, where did you get the parts from, and can you tell me if your bumper came with the parktronic holes?
thanks

Very nice! I like the wheels also.. Clean, classy and original up

BTW exactly which wheels are they?

abrim

Ordered all my parts from mymercedesparts.com 2 day shipping for $99 on everything, including wing mirrors and trunks etc, worked out to be a little cheaper than parts.com due to the shipping.

Bumper did indeed come with parktronic holes, and we just removed the brackets from the old bumper and glued them to the new bumper and fit perfectly! Wasn't too hard at all!


Thanks very much! They are the 19" e63 reps from usarim.com I think there were around $600 shipped.

Looks great Andy,
I love the black on the bottom of the bumper. I have considered this or the Prior Design bumper but I could have headers for what the bumper cost.

abrim

Thanks very much Marquies! I'm waiting for it to get sunny down here to get some good pics of the car!

I am going to have to say go for the headers first for sure!! They really change the car from awesome into completely badass! You will not be disappointed I promise you!

I cannot believe I missed your conversion It looks great! I am doing the exact same as you on everything and my car is currently in the shop! The only difference is I have updated the tail lights to the E63, have grille blacked out (040) and I am going to have the 3m clear bra applied over the entire front end. Do you think this will work being applied over the black wrap? Also, how much were the mirrors? I am guessing they cost $$$$$
