C63/C63 Style Bumper
Hi Chaps,
New here, just bought a new CoPart project to hopefully get done for the summer. Got a W205 C300, I know this will gt hate BUT, going to put a C63 front bumper on it hopefully. I wont be sticking no silly badges on it, I prefer the C63 looks but honestly just cant justify the cost and running costs.
Anyway, my question is, I am really struggling to find a front bumper, they are all listed for the W205 and not the C205? Are these a straight fit or is the cab version a totally different bumper? If a W205 bumper does fit is any of them fine and straight on? I presume I will need C63 front wings for the bumper to kit also but is that it? (I need to replace the front end anyway as that's where the damage was)
Thanks in advance for any help!

None of that will fit on a C300. The C63 is wider, so you'd need the fenders, but the fenders don't fit on a C300, because the C63 has a longer hood to fit the V8. You'd also have to widen the front track to fill those wheel arches and it would look wacked and throw off the car's balance w/o widening the rear track as well. The C63 coupe is wider in the rear. The sedan is the same width in the rear as the C300 sedan.

many thanks for this! Such a bugger, so no places out there that do a C63 style kit? Such a shame but makes sense, widening the wheels wouldn’t of been too bad! Is there any C205 that does have a fender and front bumper stance though would fit?
