Hello,

I was thinking of upgrading my from bumper and came across a few like thie one in the picture. I think they are the latest version, from 2012 ->

can anyone tell me what are the two round holes for?

 - perhaps Distronic or some camera?

 

 

By the way, what would be the current price of a brand new 463 bumper with end-caps?

 

thanks

Additional cooling for the oil? Esthetic reasons? Initially I thought it could be extra holes for new lights, then saw the mesh on it.

One is distronic radar control hole (adaptive cruise control) and second may be night vision camera.

except that those extras can not be ordered for the G;  in my opinion, this is not an OEM part.

Well they are only from model year 2012 onwards, so I was thinking Distronic and perhaps camera ?

Anyway there have been several of these bumpers on sale one eBay.de, removed for new or almost new vehicles, presumably to upgrade to something else. Front bumpers around euro 350 - 450  complete with fog lamps and corner pieces. And similar for rears.

They've been removed to do Brabus upgrades.
