Say, can you just "bolt on" a front and rear bumper from a newer C 280 (the ones with the more aggressive front end) to a '95?

If you remove the fender well liners you can see them easier, and use a flashlight.

If you haven't done it before they are hard to find. Once you've done it you can do it without looking.
