AMG front bumper for 2004 CL203

I have 2004 CL203 180k (203.746) so it's facelift model. I'm going to buy AMG front bumper and I have few things in my mind what I want to know. If someone know answers for these questions, it would be great.

I found used AMG bumper which part number is A203 885 22 25 and the package also includes inner part which part number is A203 885 05 65. They are in perfect condition and cheap, but I want to know will they fit in my facelift model? And should I use the old inner part or install the whole thing? One big question are foglights and mesh parts.. Because AMG foglights and original AMG mesh parts are awfully expensive here where I live, I want to use my current foglights and make the mesh parts my self.. Can I use my current foglights with AMG inner part? I planed to install the foglights behind the mesh..

Thanks for answers and sorry my bad english!

if its a 2004, it should be pre-facelift, and the mesh will not fit from what i know but not sure on the fogs. i dont think they will

The fog light for amg usually are more oval than the normal foglight. Since the coupe and sedan are sharing the same foglight

Well the shape foglight isn't so big issue at this point because I'm not going to use AMG bumper mesh. If mine current foglights can be mounted in AMG bumper inner part, I'm happy!

Do you guys know is there difference between regular and AMG-bumper inner part?

yes, there is a difference, and if you're going to use the AMG front bumper then you need the AMG inner part.

CL203 facelift began for Model Year 2005. Only sold 1 year in the USA, but continued in other parts of the world like Canada & Europe.

Did you just buy this 2004 model used, and perhaps it came with 2005 facelift parts (like the grill and taillights) installed by the previous owner ?

Yes bought is used, but I'm pretty sure it's facelift because the interrior is newer.

I already tried the bumper on and it didn't fit at all so I think I will sell the bumper and just drive with the stock one. One guy told me that the pre-facelift bumpers don't fit to facelifted model without modifications so I think it's too big job for me because and I need my car pretty much every day because of my job...
