Hit a tire carcass on the road.

Should I go with an aftermarket front end or stay with stock?

I'm not impressed w Brabus' styling stuff. Any other company makes CLS yet? Otherwise, a new OEM bumper skin.

sorry to hear about that Robert. I would highly suggest sticking with the stock AMG front bumper.

Decided to stay with stock. CLS 63 won't be available for a while, I may sell this and get a black 63.

Can't wait to get my car back to normal!

Robert... would this interest you? If you're interested let me know... I can point you to the right direction... I don't think anyone in the United States has this kit except for me at the moment... so it's pretty unique...

looks interesting, but I think I still like stock better. what are those badges on the sides? The wheels look HUGE! Are they 21" wheels?

the wheels are actually 20's... they look huge because the spokes go all the way... the badge on the side comes with the kit...
