Quick question about C55

Hey guys, is it true that the C55s up to 04 share the same front bumper as our w209s 500s upto 04? If it does then i believe the bumpers are swappable?

Kind of, as I understand they needed the extra front clip length of the w209 to fit the V8.

One would think, but the best thing to do is to check the EPC to confirm. It's free, though they do require a credit card.
