Custom C36 front bumper

[Pagz]

Is it just me or does anybody else think AMG should have gone slightly deeper on the front bumper?

I'm going to be joining the c36 AMG bumper club soon....hehe

Just me saying....but if it made it any lower and with most people lowering their cars the bumper lip would drag the ground, and hit every bumper stop when parking. If the car isn't lowered then yes a deeper front bumper looks good, but that would mean that the sides and the rear would need adjusting as well or the stance wouldn't be quite right....just me two cents

@ anf6789 every time I see your car....I love that look

I am living exactly what you describe....I have my car lowered and I can't clear my driveway (Wood planks are now a requireed accessory). Due to the stance of the car I just can't get myself to raise up the front with thicker spring pads as the rear already has the thickest pad.

You know your getting older when you try to make your stock suspension height look good =P

I do love the look of a lowered C36 on 18" monos!

i love doing exactly that....always thought that stock bumpers looked good but even better if slightly lower....more especially the C36 and the facelift W202 front bumpers.
did it to my ae92 toyota corolla

Looks like a fun track car with so little wieght!,My brother had the wagon version which he transplanted a 2.2 turbo diesel into,it went suprisingly well with alittle more boost/fuel!. I've also got a CE107 which I use as a daily to work,toyota ftw.

[dokotela]

its brilliant.
had the car since 1998...used to be my daily up until 2006...enter W202 AMG and W210 E36AMG, then the mods began. always intended to mod it so it was an excuse really...lol. then retired it to a track only car in 2008/9. brilliant cars really.
we never did get those wagons in our markets but i've seen them often at the importers.....always stood at the fence and drooled like a little kid when i saw those JDM toys....lol

So true.

OT: deeper would look good all around (sideskirts, rear) and not lowered.
