Merc C63 AMG CF vents on OEM bumper
By chance, I found out a new mod for the OEM front bumper.
I ordered a pair of CF vent covers made for the Merc C63 AMG. The objective was to install at the sides of the OEM bumper. They did not work.As I was test fitting,I moved the covers over to the side reflector coves.Almost a perfect fit plus a new option to the usual clear/ blacked out reflector.The cost of the vents incl shipping was $139(e-bay). Quality is some of the best CF work I've seen.Anyone interested in a different stying option for their OEM bumper may want to check these out.I'm not able to install on my Z due to CF cowls already on my car.If interested,PM me I'll give you info/pics on the vendor.Or,you can search e-bay for Carbon fiber fender vents Mercedes C63. |
You might want to post pics, Chargespeed also offers CF vents for Z bumpers as well.

Where do they mount? |
I believe they mount where the reflectors are located.
|
^Yup.

I looked it up an got confused on how you are mounting these The position would be the same as on the C63.The AMG model has vent/ducts in the bumper.These are CF covers that go over the vents.The vents are functional on the Merc...since the openings face towards the rear,removal of heat?At any rate,the vent "cover" sit in the side reflector crevices. The covers cannot mount on a flat surface due to the fins on the bottom surface.They either have to fit in a opening(approx 4x7")or a recess like the reflector indents.Since I have Chargespeed CF cowls mounted in the reflector area,the fit is not perfect.Without the cowls(they have a ridge&thickness),I believe the fit would be just about perfect.Possibly a bit of trim on the inside fins.The curve of the pieces and proportions match the OEM bumper like they were made for it.I would imagine it would be possible to make these functional with the proper ducting and to cut out part of the side reflector area.My purpose is basically styling for the usual side reflector area on the stock bumper.I may remove my CF cowls and install these if the fit is what I think it will be.I'm testing on another Z. |
May fit

looks nice but will it fir a nismo v3 front?? i hate my orange reflector opening towards the wheel well edge is much smaller than on the standard Z bumper.But if its around 2" ,it should fit.Furthermore,these units have some flex to help shape them onto the surface if the curve is not spot on.3-M is already pre-installed on the back.Looking at the Nismo v3 bumper,these vents would look sick! |
You could be right!

If you read my post,I said would not work on MY Z because of the CF cowls on my reflector indents.Besides,the look of these,albeit they do look fantastic and would really give a different look to the stock bumper,may not go with my Amuse type fender vents.My point was to throw these out as a option for others to consider.IMO,seems a rather inexpensive mod for those who wish to change the look of their stock bumper rather than buy an entire new aftermarket one... |
wow you sure like cf accents and styling. Tony from carbon fiber element would love you as a customer.
